Direct answer
A good solar BOS sourcing process starts with a clear BOM, then groups items by product family, technical risk, packing method and inspection requirement.
The mistake is asking five factories for five categories and trying to coordinate everything after production. We prefer to organize the RFQ before supplier selection.

FAQ
Should every BOS item come from one factory?
Usually no. Different categories often need different factories, but procurement should still be coordinated as one order.
How does OmniSol keep the website clean?
We group variants under product families and avoid creating separate pages for every SKU.
