Segen, Scott Nangle, Senate, Edmunsons, CEF, PV Solar (Site Sponsor). If you do a web search, or even a search on the site, you will turn up 100's

Yes I do work for Senate, we are big on Schuco.

Regards.

Good luck. I've yet to use a distributor that hasn't let me down.

Tthe trouble is that for a company to hold stock of even a small range of modules for example 5 different models then they need around 500 of each which is a considerable amount of stock to hold. Would an installer tie up that kind of capital?

 

[SolarCity]

No, and that's why we rely on distributors. The service I receive from most is sporadic at best. I'm absolutely sick to death of having phone calls and emails ignored.

Hello guys - give us a try - we invest heavly in customer service - and we've recently scrapped our online ordering system in favour of phone and email communications...

DM me your email for our price list.

If your supplier doesn't return your e-mail or call within a resonable time frame; use somebody else, there is certainly plenty of competition!

 

[SolarCity]

Actually, I don't think there is enough competition for distributors.

I have bought my stuff from quite a few UK distributors and like most of you have been let down sometimes by lack of stock or poor communication. At the moment I get the majority of my material from Krannich as they seem to have good stock levels (modules and invertars) but more than anything they are a very helful bunch of people and will always try and do what they can to help you. My contacts are Phil and Nancy in their Reading office.
