MORE THAN A MANUFACTURER,

THE UNIVERSAL ADVANTAGE
MORE THAN A MANUFACTURER
Most large-scale solar developers and installers have experienced at least one supply chain interruption that threatened or derailed a project: Manufacturers’ reps reneging on pricing or delivery date. Product no longer available when you thought you had a commitment.
Universal has a more reliable supply chain than the U.S. arms of many manufacturers, because of our long-term, direct relationships with the module factories. We can obtain panels when others can’t. We won’t sell your product out from under you if
we get a bigger or better offer. We won’t change your price or delivery date.
