5 Critical Price Determinants
Like the used car market, solar equipment valuation combines art and science. Here's what really matters:
1. Operational History Matters
Systems with verified maintenance records command 15-20% premium pricing. Our recent analysis of 200MW traded capacity shows:
- 3-year old systems: 55-65% residual value
- 5-year old systems: 40-50% residual value
"Buyers increasingly demand IoT-enabled performance data – it's becoming the new normal in equipment valuation."
Smart Buying Strategies
Successful procurement requires more than price comparison. Consider these essential steps:
Due Diligence Checklist
- ✓ Verify manufacturer production dates
- ✓ Request IV curve test results
- ✓ Check local import regulations
