SOLARWATT strikes blow for household energy independence with UK partner network

SOLARWATT (http://www.solarwatt.net), the leading German pioneer of high-performance dual-glass solar PV production and storage systems, is developing a partnership network to bring its advanced renewable-energy generation and management systems to homes across the UK.

The expansion programme is led by Pol Spronck, recently appointed SOLARWATT International Sales Manager, who has worked in the solar industry since 2008. He has been talking to installation and building design professionals to supply the company’s premium-quality products.

With 23 years’ experience and employing more than 200 people at its leading-edge manufacturing and logistics centre in Dresden, SOLARWATT is expanding following a substantial investment by Stefan Quandt of the family that owns BMW. Solar power is gaining traction due to carbon reduction obligations and concerns over energy costs and fuel security – boosted by technology advances such as SOLARWATT’s ground-breaking MyReserve storage system.

Whatever incentives are available, installers and customers are considered likely to respond to SOLARWATT’s premium product portfolio and 100% guarantees. Fixing energy costs, locking in savings by storing and using energy from solar panels rather than feeding it back into the grid, is likely to become more attractive as fossil-fuel prices continue their long-term upward trend.

Installation and design partners will benefit from training and certification, close communication, PR and marketing support and SOLARWATT branding to ensure they’re equipped to deliver the best possible options whether separately or in complete packages.

As the first supplier of a complete glass-glass portfolio, SOLARWATT is recognised through numerous awards and product standards for its innovation. The range available to private and commercial markets will also include intelligent energy management systems, inverters, mounting and façade arrangements and veranda and carport systems with optional vehicle recharging.

MyReserve storage addresses the long-standing challenge of power provision during low or no sunshine. The modular device is easy to install and increase in capacity, helping customers reduce costs permanently. In Germany, SOLARWATT supplies MyReserve, Energy Manager and a software app for an all-in-one solar PV solution provided by the utility company E.ON.

SOLARWATT bridges the power gap by storing electricity as it’s produced and discharging it at busy times, such as when families need lights and appliances in the morning and evening. Storage means more usable power from solar PV, making renewable energy more flexible, reducing reliance on the grid and cutting building energy costs.

“Electricity prices have been increasing significantly in the past few years,” said Pol Spronck. “People want to fix energy costs as they do with mortgages – but utility costs keep rising. That is why household energy self-sufficiency is a hot topic today. With PV plus storage, people can fix the electricity costs for decades and boost their independence from utilities.

“For several years now, SOLARWATT has marketed intelligent, complete solar systems that enable residential and small­ business customers to generate their own electricity. Our UK entry is an important milestone for us.

“I urge any quality installers and designers wishing to bring their customers the best, most innovative solar PV, storage and intelligent energy systems to contact me.”
