Powermode will distribute a range of SMA inverters, including string and central inverters and accessories – aimed at commercial, industrial and high-end domestic applications – to installers and resellers in South Africa.
According to Jack Ward, MD of Powermode, the company boasts a track record of some 24 years in distribution and will bring SMA products to solar installers and energy performance certifiers (EPCs) supported by significant local backing.
"There will be a sizable local stock holding and all configurations will be signed off by our company's Design Desk headed by technical chief John Hope-Bailie," says Ward. "In addition, a response team, geared to react swiftly to all telephonic enquiries is in place. It is backed by support personnel geared to interact with resellers throughout South Africa."
He adds that a warranty repair swop-out programme will be introduced to back the after-sales support efforts of channel partners and assist local solar installation users to maintain uptime.
