Buyer support
Compare factory quotes for the same storage specification, quantity and destination.
Eligible coordination may include up to 3%.
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements.
Prepare specification, quantity and destination before you request factory quotes.
Quotation workflow
This desk normalizes what energy storage system manufacturers are asked to answer. It does not rank factories, and it does not decide that two cabinets are interchangeable.
Keep each line of a bill of materials inside its own boundary. A storage block, a power conversion system, site cable and a monitoring point can share a project and still need separate evidence.
For this site the storage line is the one under review. Modules, inverters and balance-of-system items are listed so a buyer does not silently fold them into a battery price.
Currency, quantity breaks, packaging, freight responsibility, tax and duty treatment, spares, and commissioning limits belong in the comparison grid. If a reply leaves one cell empty, the grid stays empty. EverCore Procurement will not invent a value to make two offers look aligned.
Unit price and delivered scope are different questions. A compact offer can omit landing feet, fire-suppression interface hardware or a site controller. Those omissions change the procurement total even when the cabinet name looks similar.
Ask the proposed manufacturer to identify the actual manufacturing site, the exact cabinet model and any separately supplied power conversion equipment. Request the minimum order quantity and a separate sample or pilot offer; record whether engineering review, payment, document approval or material availability starts the lead-time clock. Production, transport and site acceptance need separate dates rather than one unqualified delivery estimate.
Before award, agree who reviews the datasheet and drawing revision, who checks labels and dimensions on a sample or pilot, and what deviations require a revised quotation. Electrical and communication checks belong in a written plan approved by a qualified reviewer. Record conditions, pass criteria and the supplier response; this is a verification path to arrange, not a test EverCore Procurement has already performed.
Cycle life is only useful beside the depth of discharge, temperature and C-rate the test used. Round-trip efficiency needs the same honesty about auxiliary loads. Ask the supplier to point at the paragraph, then decide whether the basis matches the project.
The RFQ checklist and the published note use the same boundary. Send the normalized brief when the open cells are visible.
Same chemistry family is not enough. Lock usable kWh, rated kW, voltage and the power-conversion boundary before prices are placed side by side.
State cabinets, racks or a single system, and whether a spare rack is in the count. A sample request is a different quantity from the project lot.
Write packaging, freight, duties, accessories and who unloads. Leave commissioning out unless the buyer has asked for it as a separate service.
Datasheet, drawing, transport evidence and any listing the supplier claims, each pinned to the model on the quotation.
Include the specification, quantity, destination and the document list you want back. FREE sourcing support has a ceiling of up to 3%. Banner rules apply, and this line is not a price promise.
