When you are looking for photovoltaic cables for your project, whether it is an industrial, commercial or residential project, don't just look for the price list, but choose the photovoltaic cable manufacturer that offers the lowest price. We'll tell you why you need to move beyond the "lowest cost is always best" mentality. Sometimes, you can get the lowest prices for PV cables from high-quality manufacturers.
It's just a matter of knowing what to look for. Read on as we tell you how to kill two birds with one stone!
Finding low-price suppliers can be a trap
Most electrical engineering or mechanical projects require some form of wiring or wiring. Typically, sponsors of these projects start by sourcing low-cost components and supplies to figure out the cost of their programs. While this can be a good strategy for managing your budget, it can also end up costing you more than you thought possible. The reasons are as follows:
1. You will not manufacture PV cables by yourself, usually you will only get the lowest price from PV cable suppliers
2. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough to find cheap OEM photovoltaic cable manufacturers, they are likely to be start-up companies or fledgling companies
3. And, in rare cases, you will contact a low-cost photovoltaic cable manufacturer that has been in business for five years or more, and they are generally a single-product manufacturer.
So, when you put all three of these traits together and suddenly none of them are what you want, sucks? Here's why.
Dealing with non-manufacturers
When you look at a non-manufacturer as your sole source for PV cables and nylon wires, they are likely to be sourcing stock from multiple PV cable manufacturers. Why is this a bad thing? If your project relies on a large or long-term supply of PV cables of a specific quality standard, you are out of luck!
To reduce risk in their own supply chain, 3rd party suppliers usually only source limited inventory (quantity) of products from multiple manufacturers. That way, if one partner is unable to supply them with PV cables, they can rely on others to do so.
The problem is that even if the PV cables offered are the same price, a project or product that used manufacturer A PV cables in the last month may end up using PV cables of slightly different quality and standard (lower or higher!) from manufacturer B -this month.
The result: lack of consistency in product quality from batch to batch. Worse, it can even lead to inconsistencies between PV cables used in the same product or project!
You have even bigger problems when dealing with companies that are not producers or manufacturers. They do not speak or understand the language of the PV cable manufacturer. So if there is a problem with the PV cables or nylon wires they provide you, you most likely won't be able to fix the problem quickly. Your retail supplier will escalate the problem to a 3rd party wholesaler who will raise the issue with the manufacturer... who would raise such a problem in their manufacturing department... blah blah blah!
If you want to solve PV cable quality problems quickly - it is better not to buy PV cables from non-manufacturer partners!
Trust Your Fate to Startups and Newbies
As a respected manufacturer of products, be it washing machines, toasters, electric heaters or vacuum cleaners, you can rely on a partner who can guarantee the quality of the raw materials you buy from them. However, when you deal with newbies or start-up companies to provide you with these components, such as photovoltaic cables, you put your own reputation at risk.
First, unlike photovoltaic cable manufacturers with a proven track record, novices have no experience or expertise in producing high-quality nylon wires and photovoltaic cables. While they may compete with lower prices, they don't really live up to the high standards your customers expect from you. Is it worth risking your reputation dealing with these PV cable manufacturers?
The greater risk is that a relatively new player in the PV cable manufacturing business could close down, fold or declare bankruptcy at any time. They often can't compete with established companies on quality, so they continue to beat down on pricing.
At some point, when they can't break even -- because of price wars -- they go bankrupt. When this happens, your company desperately tries to arrange an alternative supplier. In this case, your bankrupt PV cable manufacturer's established competitors will resort to price gouging because they sense your desperation. Therefore, the price they charge you for PV cables may be much higher than what they charge your competitors!
Another challenge for small PV cable producers is the staff. Because they can't pay much (in terms of salary and benefits), they can't attract the best and brightest. As a result, employees -- even their best -- keep leaving to join bigger (and better paid!) competitors. This ongoing staffing upheaval has resulted in a reduction in the number of trained and inexperienced technicians working on the production line, ultimately affecting quality.
Work with a single product manufacturer
The biggest mistake an established engineering or electrical project company, or product manufacturer like yours can make, is tying your company's fate to a single product manufacturer. The diversity of today's manufacturing environments requires that you use an equally diverse range of photovoltaic cables and nylon wires in your projects or products. Unfortunately, a single photovoltaic cable and nylon wire manufacturer cannot meet this demand.
Why is this a bad thing? Well, when you enter into a supplier relationship with one supplier, your company spends a lot of time and effort maintaining that relationship. So instead of having multiple single relationships that will cover all your PV cable needs, you now have to create multiple partnerships, all of which take time, effort and money to maintain!
Dealing with single window PV cable manufacturers is the best supply chain management strategy in the long run. Not only does it guarantee the variety of materials and supplies you need; it also reduces supplier management costs.
High quality and low price can coexist
From everything you've probably read so far, it sounds like the only solution is to work with a PV cable producer who sells their product at a premium. Not true at all! In fact, if you know to look for better quality photovoltaic cables, you can find high quality, stable supply and low prices in one photovoltaic cable manufacturer!
1. Track record: A company like XSD Cable, which has been around for over 10 years, is a better partner than those that have been in business for 5 years or less.
2. Various types of products: the company provides a variety of photovoltaic cables, including single-core photovoltaic cables, medium-voltage power photovoltaic cables, low-voltage power photovoltaic cables, armored photovoltaic cables and nylon photovoltaic cables. The company is in a better position to meet terminal needs . Customer's terminal needs.
3.OEM: As an original photovoltaic cable manufacturer, not a distributor or reseller, the company has greater flexibility as a photovoltaic cable wire expert and invents newer nylon wires and photovoltaic cables to meet customers' changing needs.
Most importantly, these three characteristics of a good PV cable manufacturer allow flexibility in pricing. With a factory capacity of more than 6000 square meters, and more than 60 sets of photovoltaic cable and nylon wire manufacturing and production equipment, they can bring economies of scale when pricing photovoltaic cables.
That's because they already have a large number of international customers using their products. Therefore, when market conditions dictate, their PV cable prices can easily match market demand without compromising the viability of the company.
Standardization is another cost determinant. High-quality manufacturing stems from the adoption of international standards. Most new manufacturing facilities are not certified to global standards. That's because the cost of certification is very high. And, if a start-up invests in global certification now, they pass the cost of standardization on to customers, which translates into a per-product cost and beyond.
As an ISO, USL and CCC approved manufacturer, XSD Cable has invested in certification. And because they spread the cost over more customers, they can offer a lower cost product to all customers.
With a strong workbench of more than 100 experienced technicians, XSD Cable invests in continuous training and development of its workforce. Since the staff is well taken care of, he can serve as motivation to provide the best service. A motivated workforce also breeds innovation, which is not only good for the company, but also for customers.
When you add these three elements together: a history of delivering high quality, a large manufacturing facility, and an experienced, dedicated and loyal workforce, it translates into one thing: lower PV cable prices for customers. But that's not all.
Lower prices usually come with lower quality. However, when you cooperate with a well-known PV cable producer who has a wide customer base; owns its own production facilities; invests in research and development; and produces to high international standards, the unit price drops. This is how productivity economics works.
Therefore, if you need various special photovoltaic cables and nylon wires, why not contact Dongguan XSD Cable Technology Co., Ltd. to understand your requirements.
