Who This Program Is For
Seymour Solar is built for dealers and organizations that need reliable solar filters, clear product guidance, and support before high-interest eclipse seasons and throughout the year.

- Camera stores and photography specialists supporting customers who want solar imaging solutions for lenses and optical setups

Seymour Solar products are already positioned around the needs of astronomers, photographers, educators, and eclipse-focused buyers, with planned dealer growth in both U.S. and international eclipse markets.
International Dealers & Eclipse-Path Markets
Seymour Solar is actively building dealer relationships in key eclipse markets around the world. Our goal is to support qualified international partners with the same core dealer program offered in the U.S., while preparing for the concentrated demand that builds ahead of major solar eclipses. Seymour Solar’s current international framework already supports global dealer relationships with USD-based pricing, global MAP expectations, and clarified freight and customs terms for international orders.
- 2026 eclipse markets: Iceland and northern Spain
- 2027 eclipse markets: Egypt and Saudi Arabia
- 2028 eclipse markets: Australia and New Zealand
For dealers in these regions, Seymour Solar offers a strong combination of broad product coverage, direct support, and a program built to help partners prepare before eclipse-season demand accelerates. Our business plan specifically targets dealer development in cities such as Reykjavik, Bilbao or A Coruña, Luxor, Cairo, Riyadh, Sydney, and Dunedin or Auckland as part of that international expansion strategy.
If your business serves astronomers, photographers, educators, observatories, or eclipse-event customers outside the United States, we welcome qualified dealer inquiries.
