What's inside the Fulfillment Center
RFQ Engine
Post a bill of materials once, quantity, specs and timeline included, and verified suppliers submit competing quotes, typically within a few hours. Comparing landed cost, lead time and terms side by side replaces calling four distributors separately.
Net Terms & Escrow
Reusable trade credit means applying once for net terms and using that approved line across every participating supplier, while milestone escrow protects larger deals until agreed conditions are met.
Freight & Drayage
Negotiated freight lanes, liftgate service and delivery time windows get coordinated for the specific equipment and site, not booked as a generic LTL shipment and hoped for the best.
Warehousing & 3PL
Forward-stocking positions equipment closer to active job sites, and project kitting bundles a bill of materials into one delivery instead of staggered partial shipments.
How it works
Post, compare, close
Share equipment specifications, quantities and delivery needs. Review supplier responses and confirm commercial terms before proceeding.
No obligation either direction
Accept a quote, negotiate directly with the supplier, or walk away. Suppliers pay to access the marketplace and compete for the business; buyers post and compare for free.
Why it matters
Give suppliers a clear request
A clear request helps suppliers assess the opportunity. Response times depend on the equipment, availability and participating suppliers.
Financing and logistics on the order, not a side conversation
Net terms, escrow status and freight details live on the order record itself, which is what keeps an invoice matching the terms a buyer actually approved.

FAQs
How fast can I get quotes through the RFQ Engine?
You post an equipment need once and verified suppliers compete for it, so quotes typically start arriving within hours to a couple of business days depending on the item and quantity. Timing varies with how specialized the equipment is and current supplier availability. Because multiple verified suppliers see the same request, you get comparable offers back without chasing each one individually.
Is there a fee to post a request for quote?
Posting a request for quote carries no obligation in either direction, and there is no charge to put a need in front of verified suppliers and compare what comes back. You only move forward if an offer works for you. For current terms on any transaction fees tied to a closed order, check with the Sunhub team directly.
Does the Fulfillment Center handle freight and warehousing too?
Yes. The Fulfillment Center is built to arrange freight, drayage, warehousing, and 3PL on the same order as the equipment purchase, alongside net terms and escrow. The idea is to close the product, the payment terms, and the logistics in one place rather than stitching separate vendors together after the fact.
How much does it cost?
Nothing for buyers. Posting a request is free. Suppliers pay to access the marketplace, so you get competitive bids with no hidden charges or platform fees.
How are suppliers verified?
We check credentials, licensing and business history for every supplier. Buyer reviews sit alongside the profile so you're transacting with companies that have a real track record.
How long does it take?
Post in minutes. Most suppliers respond within 24 hours, and you'll usually have multiple quotes to compare the same day.
What can I source?
Solar panels, inverters, batteries and energy storage, mounting and racking, charge controllers, monitoring, EV chargers and complete PV systems, plus balance-of-system.
