DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 29, 2026 / SolarAuction.com, a B2B disposition partner for the solar industry, today announced a partnership with Buckstop, an asset intelligence and valuation platform for renewable energy and industrial assets. The relationship connects Buckstop's valuation capabilities with SolarAuction.com's experience in the secondary solar equipment market and disposition services.

For organizations managing surplus, distressed, damaged, stranded or otherwise recoverable solar equipment, determining an appropriate value is one part of the decision. The next question is what can realistically be done with the equipment and what recovery options are available.

Buckstop provides asset-level valuation information using equipment data, market observations and an auditable valuation methodology. Its platform is designed to provide current reference points for asset values and recovery planning.

SolarAuction.com brings experience in the secondary solar equipment market, an established buyer network and multiple disposition options, including direct purchase, managed consignment, sales placement and online auctions.

As part of the partnership, SolarAuction.com will contribute relevant transaction data to Buckstop's valuation work. The data will provide market outcomes that can be used to evaluate Buckstop's valuation models against actual equipment transactions. Over time, the companies expect this feedback to provide additional insight into the relationship between estimated asset values and observed market outcomes.

"Solar equipment valuation is only useful if it helps inform what happens next," said Brandon Guichard, CCO at SolarAuction.com. "Our customers need information they can use when evaluating their options. Working with Buckstop gives us another source of market intelligence and creates an opportunity to connect valuation information more closely with the disposition decisions we make every day."

"SolarAuction.com has something that is difficult to replicate: real experience putting solar equipment into the secondary market and seeing what actually happens," said Alexander Olesen, CEO and co-founder of Buckstop. "That real-world transaction data creates an important feedback loop for valuation intelligence, while SolarAuction's customers benefit from better market-based information as they evaluate their recovery options."

The partnership is intended to support organizations including asset owners, developers, insurers, lenders and restructuring professionals managing solar equipment outside of its original deployment or sales channel. Depending on the equipment and circumstances, potential paths may include resale, reuse, recycling or other forms of recovery.

Secondary-market equipment values can vary based on factors including supply and demand, equipment specifications, condition, technology, market conditions and commodity values. The companies expect their respective data and market experience to provide additional information for organizations evaluating those factors.

The partnership represents an expansion of SolarAuction.com's resources for organizations seeking to understand and act on the value of surplus and recoverable solar equipment.
