Power-One’s existing sales partner network as well as Survey Digital’s network will remain in place.
Erald Verbruggen, director of service in EMEA for Power-One said: “Our goal is to keep our Power-One customers in Greece satisfied and secure knowing their photovoltaic plants will run as they were designed for the lifetime of the system. Survey Digital has a proven track record and expertise supporting string and central inverter systems. Now that our installed base in Greece has reached a significant milestone, this partnership was necessary to enable us to continue to honour system warranties and provide the best after sales support for our customers”.
Survey Digital noted that it had garnered four years of field experience in supporting PV inverter systems and advanced power electronics troubleshooting.
Power-One did not say what the operational cost savings the outsourced deal would generate.
In 2012, the company was successful in supplying central PV inverters to utility-scale projects in Greece using its liquid-cooled, ‘ULTRA’ series systems.
