WattStreet Energy is designed to give qualified solar stakeholders a more strategic way to explore inventory opportunities, supply origin, and U.S. availability through a public-facing website and a private access platform.
Below are answers to some of the most common questions about the WattStreet model.
WattStreet Energy is a private solar procurement platform for utility-scale and large commercial buyers. We source verified solar modules, conduct inventory diligence, coordinate logistics, and assemble the supplier documentation that procurement, EPC, and legal teams need to move with confidence.
WattStreet is built for developers, EPCs, IPPs, asset owners, and commercial buyers procuring at project scale — typically 1 MW and above. The platform is structured around the requirements of project finance, construction scheduling, and tax-credit-sensitive procurement, not retail buyers.
No. WattStreet is a gated, qualification-based environment. Inventory, pricing, and supplier information are not publicly listed and are only made available to verified buyers and partners after access review.
Utility-scale module procurement involves commercially sensitive pricing, allocation conversations, and supplier documentation that should not sit on the open internet. Gating access also lets us focus on serious counterparties rather than fielding inquiries unrelated to project procurement.
Submit a request through the access form. We ask for your company, role, project type, and approximate procurement scope so we can route the conversation correctly.
A member of our team reviews the request, typically within one business day. If your profile fits, we will schedule an introductory call, execute an NDA where appropriate, and provision access to the relevant inventory environment.
For most inventory discussions, yes. Specific supplier names, serial-level inventory data, pricing, and origin documentation are shared under NDA. The NDA process is straightforward and can be completed during onboarding.
WattStreet sources utility-scale and commercial-grade modules across current cell technologies — including mono PERC, TOPCon, and HJT — in the wattage classes, frame configurations, and BOM specifications typically deployed on large solar projects.
Yes. WattStreet does not list inventory it has not reviewed. Verification typically includes manufacturer and serial documentation, datasheet-to-product confirmation, packaging condition, and warehouse confirmation. Buyers receive a verification summary suitable for internal QA and lender review.
Depending on the lot, documentation may include manufacturer certificates, bill of materials, serial ranges, country of origin, polysilicon and wafer origin attestations where available, warranty pass-through information, and warehouse or port-of-entry location.
No. The website is an access and information environment, not a checkout. Transactions are executed through direct commercial agreements with documented terms, inspection rights, and delivery commitments.
Origin affects tariff exposure, UFLPA review, FEOC-related diligence, and domestic content eligibility. A module’s commercial viability on a U.S. project depends as much on where and how it was made as on its electrical specification.
Modules already landed in the United States have cleared customs, completed transit risk, and are typically deployable on shorter timelines than modules still in production or in transit. For projects with construction deadlines or safe-harbor considerations, domestic-located inventory can be materially more valuable.
Yes. For buyers pursuing the domestic content bonus credit, WattStreet helps identify modules manufactured with qualifying U.S. cells or components and provides the supplier documentation typically requested by tax counsel. Final domestic content determinations rest with the buyer and their advisors.
WattStreet screens supplier ownership structures and module origin against publicly available FEOC guidance and flags exposure that buyers and their advisors may wish to review further. WattStreet provides documentation to support buyer-side review; it does not issue FEOC determinations or compliance opinions. Those determinations rest with the taxpayer and counsel.
WattStreet works with suppliers whose upstream polysilicon and wafer sourcing is documented and reviewable, and provides traceability packages to support buyer and customs counsel review. Final import and admissibility determinations are made by the buyer and the relevant authorities, not by WattStreet.
No. WattStreet provides sourcing, verification, logistics, and documentation. Legal and tax determinations — including UFLPA, FEOC, domestic content, and ITC qualification — are the responsibility of the buyer and their advisors. That separation is intentional and protects both sides.
WattStreet coordinates port-of-entry planning, customs documentation, inland freight, and site delivery sequencing against the project’s construction schedule. Buyers can engage WattStreet for full logistics coordination or for sourcing and verification only.
Lead times depend on whether inventory is U.S.-located, in transit, or factory-scheduled. U.S.-located inventory can often move on construction-aligned timelines; factory-scheduled inventory follows manufacturer production windows. Specific timelines are shared once a project’s requirements are scoped.
Yes. WattStreet is structured for procurement at 1 MW and above. Smaller buyers are best served by retail and distributor channels.
Pricing is project-specific and reflects module specification, volume, origin, current trade conditions, and delivery requirements. WattStreet does not publish price lists; quotes are issued against scoped requirements.
