Alternergy are now holding stock of the P-Series and MT-Series string inverters for both residential and commercial installations. This expansion of Alternergy’s inverter offering follows on from the successful launch of their e-commerce website in October 2013, enabling installers to easily configure PV kits and place orders online.
“Alternergy is focused on offering only the leading quality solar PV products and SolarMax fits in well with this objective. SolarMax inverters are recognised for their high Swiss quality and competitive prices. Already we are seeing considerable interest from our customers,” said Alternergy Director, Rajiv Bhatia.
The tie-up with Alternergy comes at a time of increasing UK expansion by SolarMax, with a particular focus on the important distribution sales channel. Andy Lycett, UK Distribution Manager for SolarMax said: “The company has invested heavily in the development of the UK business and we are having some great success in linking up with some of the leading PV installers and distributors throughout the UK. We are delighted to have secured the tie-up with Alternergy, who are firmly established as one of the UK’s leading specialist PV distributors”.
