B2B Solar Street Light Buying Guide
How to choose solar street lights for a distributor or road project
A distributor purchases for a sales channel; an EPC or project buyer purchases for a defined site and performance requirement. Both need verified product information, but the inputs used to select a split or all-in-one solar street light are different.
Quick answer
Distributor selection and project selection are different
A distributor should choose solar street lights around the destination market, sales channel, target customer, product tier, quantity, sample and customization needs. An EPC or road-project buyer should begin with the road, pole layout, operating schedule, environment, quantity, project timing and required documents. Both should confirm the exact model and complete configuration before commercial discussion.

Buying FAQ
Common questions before product matching
The answers separate general facts from model and project decisions.
Importer quick answer
Confirm the application, model quantity and quotation basis first
Before an importer requests split or all-in-one solar street lights, the buyer should confirm the required product type, catalogue wattage or performance direction, application, destination country and estimated quantity for each model. The enquiry should also state the required warranty, delivery schedule, OEM or logo needs, packaging requirements and preferred trade term, such as EXW, FOB Qingdao or delivery to Chattogram. Catalogue wattage labels should not be treated as verified actual system power; battery, solar panel, output, runtime and document applicability must be confirmed for the selected configuration and formal quotation.
What should a distributor send when asking about solar street lights?
A distributor should send the country, sales channel, target customer, preferred product tier, estimated quantity, sample plan, OEM or packaging needs and required documents.
What should an EPC buyer send for a solar street light project?
An EPC buyer should send the project location, road width, pole height and spacing, layout, operating schedule, low-sun or rainy-period requirement, environment, quantity, schedule and required deliverables.
Should buyers choose a solar street light by wattage?
No. A nominal wattage label should not automatically be treated as actual LED power or complete system performance. Compare the exact model, panel, battery, operating mode, installation and application inputs.
When does Minglong prepare pricing?
Jaxon reviews the buyer type, application, estimated quantity and required configuration first. Pricing follows after the inquiry contains enough information for product matching.
Why is the quantity for each solar street light model required?
Quantity by model affects configuration planning, packaging, commercial terms and freight estimation. Minglong Solar Lighting's usual MOQ is 100 pcs, but whether it applies to each model or to an accepted mixed order must be confirmed. If the final model mix is not yet known, provide an approximate total quantity and the expected quantity range for each preferred model.
What warranty and lead time should an importer confirm?
Minglong's solar street light warranty is 1 or 2 years depending on the selected product, configuration and formal quotation. Usual production lead time is 15-30 days, subject to the selected model, quantity, order confirmation and production schedule. The buyer should also state the required shipment date.
Which trade term should be included in a solar street light enquiry?
An importer may request an EXW quotation, FOB Qingdao quotation or a destination quotation to Chattogram. CIF Chattogram can be quoted subject to shipment details and current freight; CFR Chattogram may be discussed and must be confirmed for the order. Freight, transit time, destination charges and quotation validity depend on shipment volume, schedule and the freight forwarder's current terms.
Can an importer request OEM, logo and customized packaging?
Yes. Minglong supports OEM, customer-logo customization, color boxes, outer cartons and instruction-manual customization. The selected model, artwork, language, quantity, cost and production schedule must be confirmed before the order. Buyers should attach the logo file and describe each packaging requirement in the enquiry.
