TCL SunPower Global Expands UK Distribution Network Through New Agreement with Bimble Solar
TCL SunPower Global partners with Bimble Solar to expand UK distribution of high‑performance TCL Solar modules, enhancing access for installers nationwide.
Lyon, FRANCE — February 18, 2026 — TCL SunPower Global, a leading provider of high-performance solar technologies, today announced a UK distribution agreement with Bimble Solar, a Sussex based specialist distributor founded in 2009. Known for transparent pricing, dependable product availability and installer focused support, Bimble Solar combines competitive scale with a personal service approach that resonates with small and mid-sized installers, off-grid/DIY buyers and niche commercial installers.
Under the agreement, Bimble Solar will distribute TCL Solar modules across the UK, including T-Class (450–620 W), E-Class (460 W) and S-Class (460 W) series manufactured by TCL SunPower Global. Expected annual TCL volumes are 7–10 MW, supported by Bimble Solar’s established reach within the UK’s long-tail installer segment — a broad network of smaller installation companies that rely on Bimble for trusted product guidance.
“This agreement marks a meaningful expansion of TCL Solar’s footprint in the UK market,” said Steven Zhang, General Manager at TCL SunPower Global. “Bimble Solar’s credibility and consistent service record make them a strong distribution partner, and their reach within the small and midsized installer community directly supports our growth strategy. We look forward to enabling wider access to high performance TCL Solar modules for projects across the country.”
Channel Positioning and Portfolio Focus
Bimble Solar’s operating model — centred on transparent pricing, dependable availability and practical installer guidance — aligns with TCL SunPower Global’s focus on accessible, reliable solar solutions. Their digital catalogue and product comparison resources further support visibility and straightforward evaluation of TCL Solar modules by UK installers.
The agreement complements TCL SunPower Global’s wider UK distribution network, enabling a balanced approach to market coverage across residential, small commercial and off-grid applications.
Quality, Compliance and Installer Support
The partnership benefits from Bimble Solar’s reputation as a reliable and operationally disciplined distributor, recognised for responsive service and consistent fulfilment. Their clear product presentation and buyer support tools help streamline procurement and installation workflows for UK installers.
“TCL Solar adds a strong and reliable module line to our portfolio,” said Grant Atkins, Managing Director at Bimble Solar. “Installers expect performance, availability and straightforward manufacturer support; TCL Solar meets that brief. With our transparent, service-led model, we aim to support wider adoption across the UK’s installer community.”
Bimble Solar maintains practical sustainability measures within its operations, including reusable packaging and low impact logistics practices, aligning with TCL SunPower Global’s commitment to responsible, long term value creation in the solar supply chain.
