Solar procurement for US buyers

Buy solar panels in bulk without wiring your deposit to a supplier you've never met

You have a project to build and a supplier asking for money up front. We check every supplier on certification, manufacturing capability and trade history before they can quote you, then fund up to 100% of the order, so your cash stays free for the next one.

  • Suppliers checked before they quote
  • Up to 100% of the order funded
  • Funding decision in 48 hours
Tell us what you're buying How much cash would I free?

Tell us what you're buying

Five fields. A solar procurement specialist replies within one working day with how much of the order we can fund, and on what terms.

No cost to talk. No credit check for the first conversation.

Sound familiar?

If any of this sounds like your last order, we built this for you

Solar procurement is a cash problem dressed up as a sourcing problem, with a trust problem underneath both.

The deposit's gone before you've seen a panel

30% down, the rest before it ships. If what arrives is B-grade, or nothing arrives at all, there's no one left to call.

Your cash is sitting in a container

Sixty to ninety days between paying the supplier and getting paid on the project. Nothing else moves until it clears.

The bank wants collateral and six weeks

By the time the facility clears, the price has moved and your allocation went to someone else.

You never know if you overpaid

The real prices live in a broker's group chat. You find out what everyone else paid after you've signed.

More supplier options won't fix any of this. Less risk will.

Let's talk it through

You tell us what's keeping you up. We tell you what changes.

These are the solar procurement problems buyers bring to a first call, and what we do about each one.

You

“How do I know this supplier can actually deliver?”

VyaparCred

You shouldn't have to take their word for it. Supplier prequalification happens before you ever see a quote: whether they make PV modules or inverters, we check their certifications, their manufacturing capability and their trade history. A supplier that hasn't cleared all three can't respond to your requirement.

How supplier verification works

You

“The supplier wants a deposit now. My customer pays in ninety days.”

VyaparCred

That gap is exactly what we fund. We pay your supplier against the confirmed order, up to 100% of its value, so the deposit doesn't come out of your working capital. Pre-vetted deals need no separate collateral: the order and the verified supplier carry it.

Pre-shipment financing

You

“My bank takes six weeks and wants collateral I don't have.”

VyaparCred

We underwrite the trade, not just the balance sheet. Your order, your supplier and your track record in solar all count. You get a funding decision within 48 hours of a complete requirement, and when something holds it up, it's usually paperwork, not us.

Compare all four programs

You

“How do I know I'm not overpaying?”

VyaparCred

Put the requirement out once, and checked suppliers quote against it side by side, on a landed-cost basis. Same spec, same terms, one screen, usually within 24 to 48 hours. You see the market before you commit, not after, and you negotiate from real numbers.

See what you can source

You

“My supplier wants to be paid fast, and I need longer terms.”

VyaparCred

Then you can both get what you want. With a vendor payment program, which your finance team may know as supply chain finance or approved payables finance, your supplier is paid at T+2 and you settle in up to 90 days.

Vendor payment programs

You

“Last time the container was late, and the penalties landed on me.”

VyaparCred

We can't move a port. We can remove the delays that sit with you.

You get a funding decision in days instead of waiting on a bank, so the order is placed on time. And it goes to a supplier whose trade history we've checked, with the lead time on every quote before you pick one.

Your turn. What are you buying?

Start the conversation

Before any money moves

Your solar procurement checklist

Five due diligence checks worth running before any solar procurement, whoever you buy through. We run the first three on every supplier before they can quote you.

Skip the legwork

  1. Certifications that match your order

    We check this

    Ask for certificates that cover the exact product you're ordering, not just the factory, and confirm they meet what your project requires.

  2. Real manufacturing capability

    We check this

    Is there a real factory and production line behind the quote, or someone reselling another maker's output?

  3. Trade history you can verify

    We check this

    Who have they shipped to, how much, and how recently? A new name with no history is a risk you're carrying alone.

  4. Landed cost, not unit price

    In every quote

    Compare what the order costs delivered, with freight and terms included. The cheapest unit price is often not the cheapest order.

  5. Payment terms you can survive

    We can fund this

    How much leaves your account before you see goods, and where that cash comes from while you wait.

See it on your own order

How much of your cash stays free?

Set your typical order and the deposit your supplier asks for. That deposit is working capital you'd otherwise lock into inventory.

How it works

Solar procurement in four steps, from requirement to funded order

  1. STEP 01

    Tell us what you're buying

    Category, volume, delivery window. A supplier quote speeds things up but isn't required.

  2. STEP 02

    Checked suppliers quote

    Only suppliers who've cleared verification can respond. You compare them on landed cost, side by side, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

  3. STEP 03

    We come back with terms

    How much we can fund, over what tenor and at what cost. No application fee.

  4. STEP 04

    Your supplier gets paid

    Funds go to the supplier against the order. Your goods ship, and your cash stays put.

Send the requirement before end of day and you'll have indicative terms in your inbox the next working day.

Financing

Four ways to keep your cash working

Financing that sits inside your solar procurement, not in a separate bank process. Each option starts from a moment you'll recognize.

When the supplier wants to be paid before it ships

Pre-shipment financing

We pay the supplier against your confirmed order, up to 100% of its value, with a funding decision in 48 hours.

How pre-shipment financing works

When a cross-border order needs a letter of credit

Trade finance and LCs

Letters of credit and import guarantees, attached to the order itself instead of run as a separate bank process.

How trade finance works

When you've delivered and you're waiting 60 or 90 days to get paid

Invoice financing

Turn an invoice you've raised to a buyer on VyaparCred into same-day working capital at competitive, multi-lender rates, and keep collecting it yourself.

How invoice financing works

When your supplier wants T+2 and you need 90 days

Supply chain finance

Payables financing through a vendor payment program: your supplier is paid at T+2 while you settle in up to 90 days. Both sides get what they need.

FAQ

Solar procurement questions US buyers ask first

How do I buy solar panels in bulk for a US project?
Put one requirement in front of several verified suppliers at once, instead of chasing them one by one. On VyaparCred you describe what you need once, checked suppliers quote against it on a landed-cost basis, and you compare them side by side before any money moves.
How do you verify a PV module supplier's production capacity?
Before a supplier can quote on VyaparCred, whether it makes PV modules, cells or inverters, we check their certifications, their manufacturing capability and their trade history. A supplier that hasn't cleared those checks can't respond to your requirement. Capacity for your own volume and dates is specific to the order, so you confirm it with the supplier in writing: how to verify PV module production capacity.
How does pre-shipment financing work?
We pay your supplier against your confirmed order, up to 100% of its value, so the deposit doesn't come out of your working capital. You repay over an agreed tenor, and pre-vetted deals need no separate collateral.
Do I need collateral?
Not for pre-vetted deals. We underwrite the trade, not just the balance sheet: your confirmed order, the verified supplier and your track record in solar all count.
How does solar procurement work on VyaparCred?
You post one requirement, checked suppliers quote against it on a landed-cost basis, and you can fund the order in the same flow. Solar procurement and financing happen in one place, instead of across brokers, banks and email threads.
What does solar procurement on VyaparCred cost?
It's free to register and source, and posting a requirement costs nothing: VyaparCred earns on financing and completed transactions. If you fund an order, pricing depends on order size, tenor and supplier, and you see the full number in writing before you commit.
Can you help prevent solar shipment delays?
We can't control a port. We can remove the delays that sit with you: a funding decision within 48 hours of a complete requirement instead of a weeks-long bank process, and suppliers checked on trade history before they quote, with the lead time on every quote.
What can I buy through VyaparCred?
The full solar bill of materials across twelve categories: modules, cells, wafers, glass, inverters, battery storage, mounting structures, cables and connectors, junction boxes, aluminum frames, backsheets and EVA encapsulants.
