What We Do

Smith’s Intelligent DistributionTM model and broad solar-market outlook help you quickly offload your inventory overflow, recoup your investments, and minimize your holding expenses. We buy remainders of bulk purchases; surplus from canceled, delayed, or downsized projects; and stock from warehouse moves and clearing to help you keep your inventory agile.

Inventory lot buys

Lot buys offer a quick and easy way to move large quantities of excess solar inventory. Under this model, Smith buys your lot outright then directly handles the product shipping and packaging.

Consignment programs

Consignment allows you to free up warehouse space while retaining control over your marketable excess inventory. Smith will connect your parts to our global customers, then resell and ship them at an agreed-upon profit share.

Sale of non-consigned inventory

Smith’s Solar team can connect your unwanted modules and equipment to our vast network of potential buyers. Our aggressive direct-marketing model will find the best return for your excess to maximize ROI.

Market analysis

Determining the current market value of excess inventory requires a deep knowledge of solar products and the solar market. Our experienced Solar team can provide a detailed analysis of your excess lists to measure potential resale value and identify the best strategy for asset recovery.

Customer matching

Smith matches buyers and sellers through our longstanding relationships across the electronics and solar industries and up-to-the-minute market knowledge. As the largest independent electronic-component distributor, our solar specialists upload excess lists into our internal database and identify key customers using a variety of strategies, such as cross-selling, part-number linking, and product-application identification.

Smith’s team of solar experts and connections across the electronics industry help us pair your surplus equipment with motivated buyers. As your needs change, our fully customizable programs can be scaled up or down to help you balance your inventory.
