Submit qualified RFQShort answer: qualify the country route first
Eastern Europe is not one approval or buying lane. Poland, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria share EU-level import and product responsibilities, but each market has its own regulator, network operators, programs, tenders and project acceptance process. Start with the destination country, importer or brand-owner role, exact product and intended project route before asking for documents or price.
Use EU rules as the baseline, not the final answer
The European Commission directs importers to Access2Markets for tariffs, origin rules, taxes, procedures and product requirements. Your Europe explains that CE marking applies only where specific EU rules require it and assigns responsibilities to the manufacturer and other economic operators. Neither source proves that an offered module, certificate, declaration, factory, importer or project is accepted. Match the exact SKU and responsible legal entities to the destination and tender.
Separate the four national review paths
Poland's URE handles renewable-energy concessions, registers, certificates of origin and auctions. Romania's ANRE states that distribution operators handle connection, prosumer certification, metering and related data. Hungary's MEKH provides a household-generation feed-in information route, while Bulgaria's EWRC describes its licensing and electricity-market oversight. These public roles guide the buyer to the right authority; they do not constitute product approval, a supply award or a JUSTSOLAR project reference.
Private label requires order-specific evidence
For OEM or private-label supply, define the brand owner, legal manufacturer, exact model, nameplate, packaging, warranty party, certificate holder and destination scope before offer. JUSTSOLAR has Tier-1 OEM manufacturing experience under NDA, but customer and supplier names are not published and that experience does not transfer a public Tier-1 listing, certificate, warranty or project acceptance to another order.
Do not prescribe a stock basket before qualification
A distributor order should follow demand evidence, not a generic technology recommendation. State the installer or project segment, target model or specification, expected quantity, warehouse or port, required documents, requested Incoterm and target month. Product fit, loading, documents, availability and commercial terms then require written review for that order.
Send five details for Director review
Send buyer type, country, product, quantity or MW, and destination port. These are the five RFQ details: Buyer type, Country, Product, Quantity and Destination port. Add the warehouse city, requested Incoterm, target month, importer or brand-owner role and document scope when known. Frank or the Director reviews the direct JUSTSOLAR, OEM/private-label or no-bid path. Model, origin, certificate, stock, price, payment, warranty and delivery are confirmed only in the written response, formal offer or PI.

Buyer questions
Is there one solar-module approval path for Eastern Europe?
No. EU-level import and product responsibilities are a baseline, while national regulators, network operators, programs, tenders and projects require separate review for the exact country and product.
Does CE marking prove that a module is accepted in Poland, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria?
No. CE marking applies only where relevant EU rules require it. The buyer must still verify the exact product, declaration, technical documentation, importer, network, tender and project requirements.
Can JUSTSOLAR name the Tier-1 OEM customers behind its experience?
No. Those relationships and supplier-sensitive information are protected by NDA. JUSTSOLAR can discuss manufacturing, QC and order-specific evidence without publishing customer names.
What should an Eastern Europe buyer send first?
Send buyer type, country, product, quantity or containers or MW, and destination port. Add the importer or brand-owner role, Incoterm, target month and required documents when known.
