1. Leadsun Technology Co., Ltd
Address: No. 1 Pingdong 1st Rd, Nanping Science & Technology Industrial Park, Zhuhai, Guangdong, China
Year Established:2005
Brand: Leadsun, PBOX
Main Market: North&South America, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and Africa
Main Product: All-In-One Solar Street Light, LED solar home lighting system
Product Series: AE2 , AE3C , AE5, AE6
Impression: Unique design, high-end, Unbelievable high price
LEADSUN, as the pioneer of integrated solar street lights, has invested a lot of resources in product development and brand promotion since establishing the company. Its products were always positioned at the high end, with high quality and high prices. LEADSUN is the only Chinese company that has applied for patent protection worldwide, it spends up to 200,000 USD on patent protection every year.
The unique product design and the unrivaled technological advantages of its products have caused it to be looked up to by its domestic counterparts, making it impossible for them to copy its products.
After years of development, Leadsun has developed a group of distributors and agents in many countries. In some cases, this can mean better after-sales service. However, because its pricing is always at a high level, the market share of Leadsun’s products in Africa and Southeast Asia, where the demand is the strongest, is not high. In order to protect the distributors’ benefit, they could not reduce prices to participate in bidding for a large project.
If you are a contractor or working on a low-budget government project, LEADSUN’s products may not help you win orders. However, if you are looking for top-quality products and your customer has a high enough budget and requires very high-quality products, you may choose to distribute LEADSUN’s products.
2. Guangzhou Felicity Solar Technology Company Ltd.
Address: No.23, Donghuaxingfu Street, Renhe Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China
Year Established:2010
Brand: Felicitysolar
Main Market: Africa 50.00% Mid East 14.00% Southeast Asia 12.00%
Main Product: Solar Street Light; Solar Inverter; Solar Controller; Lithium Battery; Solar Panel
Product Series: FL-A2 , FL-D1
Impression: Market Killer In Africa
In 2009, Felicity was founded in Guangzhou as a manufacturer of led lighting products. In 2014, they began producing integrated solar streetlights.
Felicity is the earliest manufacturer in the solar street light industry to implement the “going out” strategy. When overseas warehouses were emerging in Europe and the United States in the past few years, Felicity went to West African countries, with Nigeria as the center, and set up sales offices and overseas warehouses. To penetrate the local market, Chinese salesmen were sent abroad. In contrast with traditional foreign trade sales via mail and telephone, face-to-face communication with customers allows you to build trust and take orders faster.
Felicity’s market development efficiency has been dramatically improved by “internalizing foreign trade”, resulting in rapid market expansion. About 80% of the Nigerian solar street light market has been occupied by it. Felicity is also expanding other solar products and penetrating other African countries.
The lithium battery energy storage market has emerged in the past two years, and in the first quarter of 2022, Felicity shipped more solar power systems with lithium batteries than its solar street light products.
In general, Felicity is a market-driven company, very good at grasping market trends and seizing market opportunities. In fact, Felicity does not invest much in product research and development and does not have too much outstanding innovation, but Felicity has made innovations in marketing, “foreign trade internalization + overseas warehouse”. This is the key that Felicity can succeed.
Since they have to pay for storage, office rent, and higher salesperson salary, F sells the same configuration of products at a relatively high price locally. Sometimes they don’t have stock and also need to wait longer to pick up the goods. If your project is not urgent in terms of lead time and high-quality requirements, you may consider ordering directly from the factory.
