Share

Richmond, June 12, 2014 – SolarMax, the Swiss inverter manufacturer, has penned a European-wide partnership with the German-based distributor Krannich Solar. The deal is to cover the whole of the SolarMax string inverter range, from the domestic P series units through to the commercial MT series, and also the new 30/32kW HT series devices.

Phil Ellery, Commercial Director at Krannich Solar UK, said: “We’ve been looking to stock SolarMax for a while and are very glad that the deal is finally complete. Krannich Solar have been seeking a premium manufactured inverter range to join our comprehensive portfolio and, with the “Swiss Quality” hallmark, the SolarMax range very much fits our requirements. Additionally, we particularly like the self-consumption features of the domestic range and the new 30-32kW series is extremely competitive”.

Andy Lycett, Distribution Manager of SolarMax UK, said: “It’s great to have completed this deal with Krannich Solar. They are one of the UK’s biggest and most well-known PV distributors, with a loyal customer base and a customer service oriented team. Krannich Solar are well respected around the industry and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

Krannich Solar UK are expected to take their first deliveries within the next two weeks and orders for SolarMax units are now being taken.
