Purchase Power

The value of purchase power

In the solar energy business, pricing is what determines the competiveness of the integrator. Every installation company is both competing against the energy prices of the utility company and the pricing of other solar contractors.

As the volume purchased by the owner network increases, the price paid for equipment by individual owners goes down. The Lighthouse Solar Franchise Model uses economies of scale to give purchase power to our network and constantly reduce costs.

Lighthouse Solar Franchising Company realizes that in order to be attractive, we have to offer our ownership network the best pricing possible. Our purchasing model allows our franchise owners to go to one source for a broad product selection from a variety of manufacturers. We negotiate the lowest prices on behalf of the group.
