Solar PV system installers underline market growth at SOLARWATT MyReserve battery training day with Fronius UK
Posted by: electime 26th November 2018
More than 30 installers seeking to boost their skills and service levels attended a training day for solar PV system specialists hosted by SOLARWATT, the premium provider of photovoltaic systems, and Fronius UK, the inverter manufacturer.
The free event at Fronius’ Technology Centre in Milton Keynes provided Fronius Service Partners and other renewable energy professionals with all the information they need to install and configure the compact, highly efficient, modular MyReserve energy storage battery and experience the SOLARWATT/Fronius system.
Neal Goddard, SOLARWATT UK Sales Manager, said: “It was our biggest UK training session to date and the engagement with our partners was very positive. I think the response is being driven by increased interest in renewable energy solutions among both installers and their domestic and SME customers.”
SOLARWATT’s UK team shared their insights with photovoltaic installers on their two-part certification programme. The session underpins SOLARWATT’S partnership with Fronius, the global renewable energy solution provider, covering distribution, joint research and development activities, and including partner products in respective portfolios.
SOLARWATT’s completely modular MyReserve comprises two basic components: a battery and power electronics. Both are no larger than a shoe box and weigh a maximum 25 kg. The modules can be easily combined and, from a capacity of 2.4 kWh upwards, can be configured to any PV system size, for flexible use as either a home battery or as a commercial solution.
“In the past year we have moved to our multi-award-winning MyReserve modular system and set up a full UK structure, with sales people, an engineer, and back office and services in place,” added Neal Goddard. “We recently became members of the Solar Trade Association to play a bigger role in the UK industry and have greatly stepped up our marketing activity. There’s a lot of movement in the UK market and the response to the training has been fantastic.”
MyReserve was voted Product of the Year 2018 in the Renewable Energy category by readers of elektrobörse smarthouse industry magazine, and won Product of the Year at the Intersolar Europe ees Award 2017. In June, SOLARWATT received the prestigious German Innovation Award 2018 in two categories for MyReserve.
