Marketing/Company Information
Subtitle: - Partnership with Solar Energy Australia
- High-performance Sunways solar inverters in all device classes
Konstanz (euro adhoc) - Konstanz/Germany, 24 May 2012 - Sunways AG (SWW:GR,
SWWG.DE, ISIN DE0007332207) has formed a partnership with Solar Energy Australia
(SEA). SEA is now the exclusive distributor of Sunways solar inverters in
Australia and, within the scope of this partnership, will also provide the
customer service for these devices. This move means that photovoltaic specialist
Sunways, a leading solar technology company based in Konstanz, is actively
present with its products on the Australian market for the first time. Australia
is an international emerging market for photovoltaics with long-term growth
potential.
Comprising the AT, NT and PT device series, the agreement with Solar Energy
Australia covers the entire Sunways product range for solar inverters. From
smaller on-roof systems for private use through to large-scale commercial
plants, Sunways has the right device for virtually any application in the form
of its award-winning inverters. Patented HERIC® high-efficiency topology and
three independent MPP trackers per device ensure maximum efficiency and
therefore top electricity yields. An extensive range of communication options
and a convenient graphical display mean that both commissioning and operation
are user-friendly. The first Sunways solar inverters were certified for
Australia last year and any certification still pending will be concluded in May
2012.
Thanks to this new partnership, Sunways has positioned itself in an important
international emerging market. Conditions for harnessing solar power in
Australia are not only excellent because of the country's sunny climate all year
round. The Australian photovoltaic market has experienced steady growth in
recent years which, according to experts, will also continue in the future: With
a projected annual growth rate of 13 to 15 percent, the country is an ideal
candidate for market entry (sources: Bank Sarasin, 2011; Australian PV
Association, 2011).
