Krannich Solar, a leading photovoltaic wholesaler, will as of now sell components for PV plants, storage solutions, and smart energy systems through the emerce online shop in South Africa.
Krannich Solar broadens the emerce marketplace portfolio by adding the latest generation of JA, Longi, Suntech, and AXITEC solar modules, as well as additional SMA inverters and BYD batteries.
Wadood Ahmad, Country Manager Krannich Solar South Africa, comments: “We are glad about this strategic cooperation with emerce. Our customers will now find our products for smart and sustainable energy solutions also in this online marketplace. Installers will benefit from a simple, time-saving purchasing process as well as from fast deliveries from our local warehouse.”
Stefanie Hegener, Managing Director at emerce, points out: “We are very happy to welcome Krannich as another seller to our online marketplace. Krannich will be adding attractive solar and PV components to our portfolio, especially storage solutions. PV plant owners can thus store generated electricity in battery systems and use it in case of blackouts – an important step towards overcoming load shedding struggles.”
As electricity costs in South Africa are high and load shedding happens frequently, investments in solar and storage solutions pay off within a short period of time, making solar energy increasingly attractive. With a value of 220 W/m2, the country benefits from one of the highest solar radiation values in the world and has an average of more than 2,500 hours of sunshine per year.
