Creating quotes and placing orders

Account Set Up

Step 1: Log in

Navigate to midsummerwholesale.co.uk. Make sure you are logged in to your Midsummer wholesale account to view trade pricing and live stock levels by checking your name is in the top right corner. If you don't have a Midsummer account yet, you can register for one using this link.

Building Quotes

There are three primary ways to create quotes;

1. Add Products to Your Cart: Choose Method A or Method B.

Method A (Via Easy PV Software): Create a system design on Easy PV. Click the button above the bill of materials to add kit to your basket.

Method B (Using the Solar Kit Builder): Use the solar kit building (located in the 'installer resources' on the left hand side of the website. This will automatically create an accurate bill of materials for you based off of the roof type and proposed panel layout.

Method C (Directly on the Midsummer website): Use the search bar (e.g., search "455w panel" for fast comparisons) or the left navigation categories to locate parts. Enter quantities and click Add to Basket. You can also use the Quick Add feature inside your cart view.

2.Review Your Basket & Check Availability: Verify stock and warnings.

Open your cart. Check live stock availability. If an item is out of stock, a red warning banner will display the expected inbound availability date.

3.Save as a Quote: Valid for 30 days.

Instead of checking out immediately, select Save Cart as Quote. Add a project reference name (e.g., Job Ref / Client Name). Your quote is now generated and saved under your account dashboard for 30 days. You can download it as a PDF or CSV.
