Help & site guide

Using this site

This is a technical catalog and sourcing platform, not a normal online store. Two minutes here will save you time everywhere else on the site.

Quick start

1
Find the product

Use the catalog. Filter by department down the left, or type a rating, part number or application into the search box.
2
Check its tag

Every product is marked In Stock, Configure or Project. The tag tells you whether there is a published price or whether it is quoted.
3
Collect what you need

Press Add to RFQ list on anything you are interested in. The list follows you around the site and is stored only in your browser.
4
Send it with your application

Open the RFQ page, describe what you are building, and send. A named engineer replies within one business day.

What the three tags mean

Power electronics do not all buy the same way, so the site does not pretend they do. There is no universal "add to cart" — there is the route that fits the product.

In Stock

There is a price on the page, and we have it here

Small, standardized, repeat-order items — contactors, sensors, small modules, control boards, replacement parts. Enter a quantity, add it to your request, and we confirm and invoice the same day. Minimum order quantity is shown on the page.

Configure

The options change the price, so we confirm before quoting

Voltage windows, cooling method, connectors, firmware and enclosure all move the number. The product page lists exactly what we need to confirm. Send what you know and we will work through the rest with you, then issue a firm price and lead time.

Project

Engineered to your application, scoped before it is priced

Solid-state transformers, large UPS, medium-voltage rectifiers, high-speed transfer switches. These are not catalog purchases — the single-line diagram, the utility interconnection and the site constraints determine the equipment. We scope it with you and the manufacturer first.

Reading a product page

Every product page carries the same fields in the same order, so you can compare across manufacturers without translating between formats. Here is what each one is for.

Input / output voltage: The operating window, not just the nominal point. Check that your worst-case low line and high line both sit inside it.
Power rating: Continuous rating, with peak and duration stated separately where the product supports it. Size to the continuous figure.
Efficiency: Peak efficiency and, where meaningful, the weighted figure. Peak is usually at part load — ask us for the curve if your duty cycle matters.
Switching frequency: Drives magnetics size, audible noise and EMI behaviour. Relevant when you are designing the part in rather than dropping it in.
Operating temperature & cooling: The ambient range and where derating begins. A product rated to +70 °C may only deliver full power to +45 °C — always check the derating note.
Dimensions & weight: Given in metric with imperial in brackets. For large equipment, check floor loading and access route before you order.
Certification status: Stated per model, never per company. Where a listing is pending, project-specific or jurisdiction-dependent, the page says so. Always request the documentation before specifying.
Lead time: From order release, not from enquiry. Stocked items ship in days; engineered equipment runs in weeks or months and is confirmed in the quote.
Warranty: Honoured through Solida Power Inc in the U.S., not through an overseas factory. Register the serial number when the equipment arrives.
Minimum order quantity: Applies to stocked components. Below-minimum quantities can usually be arranged for evaluation — just ask.

Searching and filtering

Search covers more than names

The catalog search reads part numbers, descriptions, applications and every specification value. Searching 1000 Vdc, liquid or datacenter all work.

Filters stack

Department, purchasing route and search text apply together. Clear filters appears as soon as anything is active.

Your view is shareable

Filters are written into the address bar. Copy the URL and send it to a colleague — they see exactly the list you were looking at.

Nothing found is not a dead end

Our catalog is deliberately short. If a part is not listed, send us the number — including a competitor's — and we will source or cross it.

The RFQ list

It works like a shopping basket, but nothing is bought and nothing is charged. It is a way to gather the part numbers you care about so one message covers all of them.

Add parts from the catalog grid or from any product page.
The counter in the header shows how many items you have collected.
Stocked, configurable and project items can sit on the same list — we will split the response appropriately.
You can type in a part number we do not list, including a competitor's, and we will identify the equivalent.
The list is stored in your browser only. Nothing reaches us until you submit the RFQ form.
Clearing your browser data, or using private browsing, will clear the list.

Getting documentation

Datasheets, installation manuals and certification packages are issued per model to the requesting company rather than posted as open downloads. That is deliberate: revisions change, and a stale PDF found through a search engine is how the wrong part gets specified.

Use the Documentation section on any product page, or the contact form. Requests are answered within one business day, and you receive the current revision with the certification status confirmed for that exact model.

Common questions

Can I buy as an individual or a homeowner?

No — we sell wholesale to the trade. If you are a contractor or installer, your local electrical supply store is the right route and usually the faster one. Tell us who they are and we will contact them about carrying Solida Power Inc products.

Why is there no price on most products?

Because the price would be wrong. A bidirectional converter's cost depends on its voltage window, cooling and firmware; a UPS depends on runtime and redundancy. Publishing a single number for those would mislead you. Stocked components, which genuinely have one price, show it.

Do you hold inventory, or do you drop-ship?

Both, deliberately. Small standardized parts that get ordered repeatedly are held in U.S. inventory so they ship in days. Large and configurable equipment is built to your release and shipped from the manufacturer or staged through our logistics partner — carrying that stock speculatively would only make it more expensive for you.

Is Solida Power Inc UL certified?

That question does not quite apply to a distributor — certification attaches to products, not to companies. We describe a specific model as UL Listed or UL Recognized only when that exact model number has been verified in the certifying body's directory, and we send you the documentation to confirm it. We will never tell you our catalog as a whole is certified.

Can you get a part that is not in your catalog?

Usually yes. Send the part number — a competitor's is fine — or just the electrical requirement. Sourcing hard-to-reach and specialized manufacturers is a large part of what we do.

Do you handle importing, customs and duties?

Yes. On imported goods Solida Power Inc acts as importer of record and handles classification, duties and country-of-origin documentation. You issue one domestic PO and receive one domestic invoice.

Can I get an evaluation or sample unit?

For stocked components, yes — request a sample from the product page. For larger equipment we have demonstration units and can often arrange a factory or reference-site visit instead.

Will you help select the product, or only sell what I ask for?

Selection assistance is the service. Send the load profile, the environment and the constraints, and we will come back with candidates and the reasoning. If the part you asked for is wrong for the job, we will tell you before you buy it, not after.

How long is a quote valid?

Thirty days unless the quote says otherwise. Where component or freight markets are moving, the quote will state a shorter validity rather than quietly reprice you later.

Something on the site is broken or unclear.

Please tell us — a specification that reads ambiguously to you probably reads ambiguously to everyone. Use the contact form and we will fix it.

Glossary

Terms that appear across the catalog, in the sense we use them.

AHJ: Authority Having Jurisdiction — the inspector or agency that approves your installation. Their requirements drive which listings you need.
Derating: The reduction in usable power above a stated temperature or altitude. The point where derating starts matters more than the maximum rating.
Bidirectional: Power can flow both ways — charging and discharging, importing and exporting — without a second unit.
Grid-forming: An inverter that establishes voltage and frequency itself, rather than following an existing grid. Required for islanded microgrids.
SST: Solid-State Transformer — power electronics that take medium voltage directly to a regulated DC or AC output, replacing a transformer plus separate conversion stages.
SiC: Silicon carbide — a wide-bandgap semiconductor allowing higher voltage, higher frequency and lower losses than silicon.
MOQ: Minimum order quantity. Shown per product; usually negotiable for evaluation quantities.
RFQ: Request for quote — the formal ask that starts a priced offer. On this site it is also the list you build while browsing.
Importer of record: The party legally responsible for customs entry, duties and compliance on imported goods. On imported orders, that is Solida Power Inc.
3PL: Third-party logistics provider — the warehouse and fulfilment partner we use for staging and phased delivery.

Still stuck?

Ask us directly. There is no wrong way to start — a part number, a photo of a nameplate, or a sentence about the problem all work.
