Supply Chain Disappearing Suppliers

[Gavin A]

If their training is anything like the GSE training they ran it's pretty worthless.

We're spending three days over the next couple of weeks one-one with different suppliers of battery storage solutions. - got all that booked in mid-december So should have their sales and technology angles well sewn up.

which manufacturers?

Can provide the firmware failings of nedap and sma to save weeks of head scratching

Solax, SMA, SolarEdge, Victron, Aquion.

Segen's "Training" List is:Tesla, Hoppecke, LG Chem, Victron, SolarEdge, SMA, GoodWe, Growatt alleged;y manufacturer training. Though in my books means that each one gets a half hour sales pitch slot.....

On storage, National Solar Centre's guide will be published next week. Part of the purpose to to seek to promote a 'common language'. The other purpose is to help avoid mis-selling, of which I am sure there will be lots.

It looks like someone on the main forum has spotted the Swithenbanks situation. About 3 days after it hit the headlines in the Green Lounge.

On storage, I had an invitation from Krannich but it's a fair old hike down to Reading.

I thought it might be good to run a thread on the inevitable changes within the supply chain as the industry contracts. Some distributors are going to bite the dust so here's a space to share news. Hopefully none of us will end up paying in advance for kit and finding out a supplier has gone bust before delivering.

Interesting and somewhat bitter sounding statement here:

Solar Panel | Solar Photovoltaic | Immersun | Grid Tie Inverter

(In summary - because of "dishonest, uncaring and immoral people, Swithenbanks is no longer able to trade and is being forced into the hands of receivers.")

I wonder if this is a reference to the Government or actual players within the industry ?!?

I thought they just drop shipped Segen kit so the business model would be fragile in tough times if Segen wanted to trim stocks for themselves.?

They mainly did but that's not the reason they've gone bust. They also drop shipped lines which Segen never held such as K2 mounting gear and Omnik inverters. It's not related to the bank overdraft either.
