Solar supply company Proinso and Zeversolar, China's second largest solar inverter manufacturer, which was taken over by SMA last year, have signed an agreement for the former to become a Zeversolar authorised dealer in India.
The agreement is in line with Proinso's plan to strengthen its presence in India, after establishing a branch in Mumbai in 2011 and incorporating 128 qualified installers from India in its international network to serve local customers and projects.
"The recent alliance with Zeversolar is all-important as we believe it is an unrivalled best match to the procurement criteria of a large section of the Indian string inverter market," said Kunal Chandra, head of Proinso India.
The agreement is framed in a broad business co-operation strategy designed last year by Proinso and Zeversolar, aimed at boosting the distribution of inverters made by Zeversolar in international markets.
Proinso sources said the deal with Zeversolar enabled them to supply highly efficient inverters in India, including internationally and UK-certified single-phase inverters with power rating of 1.5kWp-5kWp and 4kWp-20kWp three-phase inverters.
With a nominal power rating of 1.5kWp-20kWp and a 96.5% European efficiency, the inverters deliver unbeatable performance for residential and commercial PV systems.
"Our completely revised products have again been improved and tested with the support of SMA," said Sven Schreiber, executive VP for sales, service and marketing at Zeversolar. "In their reliability, our inverters meet all requirements for residential and commercial applications for the Indian market. With Proinso, we have taken a great milestone.
"The alliance underlines our close co-operation with Proinso and our high interest in the Indian market."
By, sustainably, increasing productivity and lowering material costs, Zeversolar is able to offer a wide range of easy-to-use and affordable photovoltaic inverters to address the growing Indian market.
"This is also reflected in our new brand and product strategy in which we have redefined Zeversolar, the positioning and appearance," added Schreiber. "Our products can be summed up in the new brand idea of democratizing the photovoltaic market through our inverter range, bringing the power of the sun to more people and reinforcing our aim of energy for everybody."
