PowerLink Network — Connect with Solar Installers

PowerLink Network — Connect with Vetted Solar Installers

What is the PowerLink Network?

PowerLink is Portlandia Electric Supply's exclusive network of pre-vetted solar installation professionals. We've done the hard work of screening, verifying, and evaluating installers so you don't have to. Every installer in the PowerLink Network has been verified for:

• Valid electrical contractor licenses and insurance
• NABCEP certification or equivalent training
• Years of experience and installation volume
• Customer satisfaction ratings and references
• Background checks and business verification
• Compliance with local permitting and inspection requirements

When you work with a PowerLink installer, you're working with a professional who has been evaluated by a solar equipment specialist, not just a general contractor directory. Our vetting process goes beyond basic license checks to assess actual solar installation competency, quality of work, and customer service standards.

Wholesale Pricing for PowerLink Installers

PowerLink Network members enjoy exclusive wholesale pricing on all Portlandia Electric Supply equipment. Because we sell directly to installers at wholesale prices, they can offer competitive bids to end customers while maintaining healthy margins. This direct-to-contractor model eliminates middlemen and reduces costs for everyone in the supply chain.

PowerLink installers receive priority access to our inventory, including hard-to-find items, new product launches, and clearance deals. When supply chains are tight, our installer partners get first call on available stock. We also offer volume pricing for installers who commit to annual purchasing volumes, helping them improve margins on large projects.

NET 30 Payment Terms for Qualified Installers

Cash flow is critical for installation contractors. That's why Portlandia Electric Supply offers NET 30 payment terms to qualified PowerLink Network members. Instead of paying upfront for every order, approved installers can purchase equipment on credit, install the system, collect from the customer, and then pay their PES invoice within 30 days.

To qualify for NET 30 terms, installers must complete our credit application and meet minimum requirements for business history, references, and creditworthiness. Once approved, NET 30 terms apply to all standard orders, making cash flow management easier for growing installation businesses. For established contractors with strong credit, we can extend NET 60 terms on request.

Qualified Leads for Installers

Portlandia Electric Supply receives thousands of inquiries from homeowners and businesses looking for solar equipment. Many of these customers need installation services in addition to equipment. Our PowerLink Network installers receive qualified, pre-screened leads from customers in their service area who have already purchased or are purchasing equipment from PES.

These leads are not cold calls — they're customers who have already invested in solar equipment and need professional installation. PowerLink installers pay no referral fees for these leads; they're provided as a value-added service to our network partners. We simply connect customers who need installation with qualified professionals in their area.
