Distributor Sourcing Guide
Solar street light distributor buying checklist
A distributor inquiry should explain the market and sales channel before asking for a long product list. Use this checklist to prepare the information needed to shortlist representative split or all-in-one solar street lights.
Quick answer
Define the market before selecting products
A solar street light distributor should send the destination country, sales channel, target customer, preferred product tier, split or all-in-one preference, estimated quantity, sample plan, OEM and packing needs, required product documents and expected purchasing schedule. This allows a supplier to shortlist representative models instead of sending an unfocused catalogue. Exact specifications, MOQ application, warranty and documents are then confirmed for the selected models.
Buyer roles
Who can use this checklist?
The checklist is for buyers building a repeatable resale or wholesale offer.
1. Market and channel
Describe who will buy the product
The same solar street light may not fit every channel. Define whether the intended customer is a retailer, installer, contractor, rural dealer, hardware channel or project supplier.
2. Product shortlist
Choose representative categories before models
Start with the structural direction and intended application. All current catalogue models in the split and all-in-one categories can be supplied, but a low-budget launch does not require every model at once.
3. Specification discipline
Do not rank products by nominal wattage alone
Catalogue labels should not automatically be treated as actual LED power, brightness or complete system performance.

4. Quantity and sample plan
Separate trial planning from bulk-order planning
Samples can support product review, while the bulk order should define the model mix and commercial conditions. The usual MOQ is 100 pieces, but whether it applies per model or to a mixed order requires confirmation.
5. Brand and packing
Define customization before confirming the order
Minglong supports OEM, customer logos, color boxes, outer cartons and instruction-manual customization. Exact conditions, cost and timing depend on the selected products and order.
6. General ordering facts
Use conditions, not unconditional promises
Final terms belong in the formal quotation or order confirmation.
