How Solar Panel and EV Component Suppliers Share Catalogues with Installers and Dealers in India
India's solar sector has grown dramatically, driven by PM Surya Ghar, falling panel costs, and rapid residential, commercial, and industrial solar adoption. Alongside this, the EV ecosystem is developing — charging infrastructure, battery components, conversion kits — creating new B2B supply relationships between distributors and installers.
For suppliers in these sectors, the common challenge is sharing highly technical product information with installers and dealers who have different levels of technical knowledge but all need the same complete specification before they can specify a product for a project.
Why solar and EV catalogues cannot just be photos
- Panel photo with "400W poly panel, good price" — installer cannot quote a project from that
- Solar panel prices volatile — price list from 3 months ago may be significantly off due to polysilicon pricing or import duty changes
- PM Surya Ghar scheme — which of your products qualify? Not answered by a generic price list
- EV component order error — wrong BMS compatibility means a returned component and delayed project delivery
Complete technical specs in every product listing
With ShowCato's custom attribute system, each product carries its complete technical datasheet alongside the photo. For solar panels:
- Brand, model number, wattage, efficiency percentage
- Cell type (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, bifacial, TOPCon)
- Dimensions, weight, operating voltage (Vmp, Voc), operating current (Imp, Isc)
- Temperature coefficient, maximum system voltage
- Product warranty and performance warranty years
- Certifications (BIS, IEC, UL) — and PM Surya Ghar eligibility
When an installer can verify every specification from your catalogue before enquiring, project specification errors drop to near zero.
How the enquiry flow works
Weekly expiry solves solar pricing volatility. When your catalogue link expires weekly, installers always see current pricing. "But your price list said X last month" disputes — a constant pain in solar distribution — disappear completely.
PM Surya Ghar eligible product collections
Create a dedicated catalogue collection for "PM Surya Ghar Eligible Products" — panels and inverters meeting the BIS certification and efficiency thresholds. Installers working on scheme-linked projects open this collection specifically and confirm their specification choices against your eligible range. This is valuable positioning that differentiates you from competitors with a generic product list.
Project-specific catalogue links
When an installer contacts you about a specific project — say a 50 kW commercial rooftop — you create a catalogue link with exactly the product combination suited for that project: panels at the right wattage, compatible inverters, mounting structures, cabling. The installer opens a project-ready catalogue, confirms the specifications, and enquires in one click. Per-buyer catalogue control makes this easy.
