Your questions, answered.
Are buyers on the marketplace verified before they can place an order?
Yes, buyers are verified rather than anonymous traffic, so manufacturers are selling into confirmed trade accounts. Verification is what makes a direct channel workable, since it screens who can transact before an order is placed. That gives a manufacturer confidence about who is on the other side of the sale.
Does listing directly compete with a manufacturer's existing distributor network?
It is meant to reach buyers the existing distribution network does not cost-effectively cover, opening a new channel rather than cannibalizing established partners. Because it coexists with channel controls, a manufacturer can set terms that protect distributor relationships. The aim is selling direct without abandoning existing partners.
What product categories can be listed for direct sale?
Manufacturers can list across the core solar equipment categories the marketplace serves, including modules, inverters, racking, and balance-of-system components. The channel is built to open direct sales without standing up a new sales team. Specific listing eligibility depends on the category and a manufacturer's own channel controls.
Do I have to drop my distributors to sell here?
No. Sunhub reaches the small-to-mid installers and new-market buyers your distributors do not call, so it grows your base alongside the channel you already run.
How does selling direct help my brand in a new market?
Your listing carries Sunhub's supplier verification and surfaces to verified buyers actively sourcing, so you build credibility and a direct order base without the cost of a local sales office.
