Why you have surplus

Repowering, project cancellations, inverter spec changes.

We see the same units from solar and wind developers over and over. Here is what usually shows up and what we do with it.

Repowering strands more good equipment than any failure ever did. A collector system full of 34.5 kV padmounts comes out because the new inverters want a different secondary, not because anything is wrong with the steel. Project cancellations do the same thing to gear that never left the skid.

We buy collector-system padmounts in uniform lots, GSU and substation units from repowers, and new-surplus equipment from cancelled phases. Uniform lots of the same rating are the best case: they resell as blocks and the offer shows it.

How the deal goes

One offer, one truck, paperwork you can file.

The offer works around the outage plan. We can price the whole collector system from a one-line and nameplate photos before the repower starts, then stage pickups behind your crews as strings come out. Laydown yard pickup or pad-by-pad, either works.

FAQ

What solar and wind developers ask us first.

Yes, that is the standard collector class and we buy them in volume. 34.5 kV to 480 or 690V units in uniform lots are exactly what we want.
