Stardust Solar Secures National Supply Chain with Owen Sound Distribution Hub
Stardust Solar Energy Inc. (TSXV: SUN) (OTCQB: SUNXF) announced that it has executed a definitive partnership agreement with B2B Solar Solutions to launch a dedicated warehousing, logistics, and fulfillment centre in Owen Sound, Ontario. The new facility provides a central Canadian distribution hub for solar panels, energy‐storage systems, and electric-vehicle supply equipment, enabling Stardust Solar to streamline deliveries to its franchise network from coast to coast.
"With Canadian demand for renewable energy equipment at an all-time high, securing a national supply chain was the next logical step in scaling our platform," said Mark Tadros, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Stardust Solar. "The Owen Sound hub is expected to cut costs for our franchisees and unlock margin upside as we continue to grow."
Key Highlights of the Agreement
- National Footprint: The 1800 17th St E facility in Owen Sound will serve as Stardust Solar's primary Canadian warehouse, complementing existing U.S. logistics centres and giving the Company coast-to-coast coverage.
- Aligned Economics: Stardust funds all inventory, while B2B Solar Solutions manages warehousing and fulfillment. Incremental margin above the base distributor price will be shared 50/50 between the parties, ensuring strong alignment.
- Scalable Capacity: The hub is expected to accommodate more than 25 MW of solar PV product annually, with built-in expansion options.
- Near Immediate Operational Launch: The warehouse will be operational in June 2025, helping to position Stardust Solar to meet peak summer installation demand.
Strategic Context
Stardust Solar now operates 93 franchise territories across North America. Management believes that a centralized Canadian distribution model could help accelerate franchise growth and support the Company's target of surpassing 100 territories by year-end 2025.
"Partnering with Stardust Solar allows us to leverage our logistics expertise to advance Canada's clean-energy transition," added Rob Chaput, owner of B2B Solar Solutions. "Together, we are creating a reliable, cost-effective supply chain that franchisees can count on while scaling their businesses."
Next Steps
With the definitive agreement signed, Stardust Solar has already begun staging inventory for initial deliveries in June. Franchisees can place Canadian stock orders through the Company's existing procurement portal starting May 27, 2025.
