AI Procurement for Solar

Stop guessing when
panels will arrive

Sun Store scans supplier stock, lead times and quoted prices across your material list so your crew never waits on equipment that could have been ordered a week earlier.

The Problem

Why solar procurement breaks down

Manual quoting across multiple suppliers, scattered lead-time data and no pricing history add up to expensive delays and idle crews.

Lead times guessed, not tracked

Installers call or email suppliers for each project, collecting estimates that may already be out of date by the time the order is placed.

Price swings go unnoticed

Panel and inverter prices can move 15 to 25 percent across a single quarter. Without a live price feed, buyers miss the window to order ahead of a spike.

Stock fragmented across catalogs

Each distributor lists stock in a different format. Comparing availability across four suppliers for a single material line takes 30 minutes by hand.

How It Works

Three steps to a confirmed order

From material list to purchase decision in the time it used to take to send one quote request.

Upload your material list

Paste a project BOM or connect your existing quoting tool. Sun Store reads panel model, inverter spec, racking type and accessories.

AI scans stock and pricing

The engine checks live inventory and quoted prices across your approved supplier network, then flags lead-time risks and price-movement signals.

Confirm the best-fit order

You see a ranked recommendation with the supplier combination that best balances delivery window and total cost. One click to confirm.

Platform Capabilities

What the AI handles for you

A procurement engine built for solar equipment, not generic supply chains.

Price movement alerts

Get notified before a panel model you order regularly changes price, so you can buy ahead of a spike or wait out a dip.

Schedule-aligned sourcing

Plug in your install date. Sun Store calculates backward to the latest safe order date and surfaces suppliers who can make that window.

Multi-supplier network view

Instead of logging into each distributor portal separately, Sun Store presents a unified view of what each approved supplier has in stock, at what price, with which lead time. Side-by-side, not page by page.

Pilot Evidence

What Teams Noticed in Practice

Our early-access pilot included 8 teams using Pro-tier access, with reported changes tracked during their first 60 days.

The pilot included solar installation companies and solar equipment distributors. Their work differs, but both depend on timely answers about purchase orders, supplier availability, expected ship dates, and project needs. We looked for practical signals in those everyday coordination tasks, not broad claims about procurement performance.

Across 8 early-access teams, pilot participants reported roughly 35% less time coordinating order status calls with suppliers in their first 60 days.

One recurring moment was the weekly materials check. Instead of calling several suppliers to confirm whether panels, inverters, or racking were still on schedule, I could see which orders needed attention and follow up with the right supplier first. That made our project review much more focused.

We used the planning view to compare incoming equipment against distributor commitments before updating customers. When a shipment moved, the team could flag the affected orders and review alternatives without rebuilding the whole schedule from email threads.

Sun Store does not require you to change your existing supplier relationships. It does not replace your PO system either. It adds a planning layer above it, so supplier updates can be considered alongside project timelines.
