Risks
Intense Competition: The fragmented nature of the market leads to significant price pressure and competition, potentially impacting margins.
Price Volatility: Fluctuations in the global prices of solar components, raw materials, and exchange rates (if importing) can affect profitability.
Supply Chain Disruptions: Dependence on manufacturers for product availability and quality exposes the company to supply chain risks.
Regulatory Changes: Adverse changes in government policies, import duties, or subsidies for solar energy could impact demand.
Working Capital Management: Trading businesses often require significant working capital, and efficient management is crucial to avoid liquidity issues.
Technology Obsolescence: Rapid advancements in solar technology could render existing inventory or product lines less competitive.
