BWC Dealerships 

  Bergey WindPower Co. (BWC) sells directly to customers and through a growing network of Certified Dealers and Resellers. Certified Dealers offer installation services and most have received factory training.  Resellers sell equipment, but do not install it or provide after-sales support. 

  All Certified Dealers and Resellers buy directly from the factory. There are no distributors or master dealers. Very few dealers actually stock BWC equipment, most equipment is ordered at the time the customer purchases.  However, we do offer volume discounts so some dealers do stock equipment to take advantage of these additional discounts.  Our dealer and reseller discounts are competitive. Please contact Mr. Steve Wilke, BWC Customer Service (1-405-364-4212) for specific information.

  We encourage anyone interested in becoming a dealer or a reseller to contact BWC or apply for a dealership. We prefer businesses with a retail storefront, but that is not a requirement. Some of our most productive dealers are electrical contractors, solar dealers, or heating & air companies.

  We do not sell dealerships or marketing areas.  We do require that new dealers purchase at least one BWC wind turbine so that they will have a "demo" unit.  Sometimes these systems are installed at the dealers place of business, but they can also be installed for a nearby customer.

Dealer territories are non-exclusive.  We do, however, try to protect the service territory of active dealers by restricting the establishment of new dealers in market areas that are being adequately developed.

  Payment terms are typically 30% with order, with the balance due just prior to shipment. Credit terms are available to established accounts and are authorized on a case-by-case basis. Warranty repair work is reimbursed following a set fee structure that does not cover travel time (which encourages dealers to install equipment within easy driving distance from their base).  Coop advertising is available on a case-by-case basis.

  Factory training is offered on an annual basis in Norman, Oklahoma. One of our particular strengths is our technical staff's 20+ years experience in installing, maintaining and repairing BWC wind turbines all over the world.  This allows us to provide our dealers with unparalleled product and project support.  

  But, our greatest strength is the ruggedness and reliability of our products. For wind turbine dealers, this is critically important.  Dealers for less reliable product lines quickly learn the high costs of supporting weak equipment in the field.

  Lastly, BWC places a high value on energy and enthusiasm.  We recognize that emerging technologies require inordinate efforts to open markets and overcome historical barriers.  We believe the growth potential for the small wind business is substantial and we are actively seeking enterprising individuals and companies that want to grow with us.
