How We Beat The Competition
Here’s the solar industry’s dirty secret: you’re not just paying for your solar equipment; you’re paying for their bloated overhead, fancy offices, huge sale commissions, markups, vehicles, and operational inefficiencies.
At ShopSolar, we keep it lean and efficient. No pushy salespeople. No overpriced systems. Just high-quality solar kits at prices that make traditional retailers and installers sweat. And yes, batteries are included with 99% of our solar kits – because a solar power system without a battery is like a car without a gas tank.
We also use local freight brokers and supply chain optimization techniques to help reduce shipping costs. Sometimes that means buying and stocking inventory; other times, it means shipping direct from the manufacturer to you. Whatever makes the most sense to save you (our customers) money, we will do it.
Our Story
Alex and Max launched ShopSolar to fix an industry stuck in the 90’s. What started as a small side project, quickly grew into a U.S. powerhouse, with thousands of solar systems delivered and thousands of happy customers who now generate their own energy.
