Alastair Mounsey at JA Solar comments It is an important step for Wagner to add this range to their offering. Importantly for rooftop systems module embedded technology allows higher energy gains through increased output especially where shade would have otherwise reduced the viable amount of PV able to be installed.
As of May 2015 the JA250w black mono smart modules will be rolled out with built in Tigo optimisers. The panels deliver optimisation even with shading, auto arc detection for extra safety and individual panel monitoring. In addition it interfaces with a cloud connect box allowing internal or external mounting of an emergency stop system; a welcome feature to alleviate safety concerns.
Wagner Renewables managing director, Mark Osborne, explains how the collaboration came about We identified a need in the UK market at the beginning of the year and after further research with our current customer base it seemed prudent to introduce a product that ticked all the boxes. Weve proudly worked alongside JA Solar and Tigo Energy for some years and know their quality and product knowledge make them leaders in their field, resulting in a quality unit.
