Anaheim,
CA, USA: BP Solar Launches New Solar Module and Certified Installer
Program in US
BP
Solar today announced two additions to its residential solar offer,
further solidifying, what the company says its position as provider
of highest lifetime value across all types of solar installations.
Beginning
in 2010, BP Solar will introduce its new 215-watt black module
ideal for residential installations and launch the company’s Certified
Installer Program in the US.
BP
Solar’s new 215-watt photovoltaic module is designed to bring
the best of the company’s solar products together in an aesthetically
pleasing all-black module for residential rooftop application.
The company says the BP 3215B PV product features: a long-lasting,
innovative frame design with a rounded profile for better handling
comfort and optimized for use with anti-theft bolts to increase
security. It can withstand heavy snow loads even in end mounting;
flexible mounting and reduced soiling losses maximize energy production;
improved reliability with effective cooling thanks to Integrabus™
technology, which ensures reliable cable management while positioning
the bypass diodes and junction box away from the cells for cooler
operation and greater energy production.
“The
residential market continues to grow as consumers recognize the
value of going solar,” BP Solar CEO Reyad Fezzani said. “By enhancing
our offer with these residentially focused products and services,
BP Solar is positioned to provide the highest lifetime value to
consumers who want to minimize their impact on both the environment
and their pocketbook.”
The
Certified Installer Program (CIP) is an initiative by BP Solar
to create a worldwide network of installers who are recognized
for superior workmanship, safety, and installation performance.
The program complements and builds on local accreditation, licensing
and training programs. “
BP
Solar has been training and certifying residential solar installers
in Germany since 2005 and more recently in Spain and Australia,
resulting in improved installation quality and customer satisfaction,”
Fezzani said. “The time is right for us to introduce this new
level of service delivery to the US residential market.”
BP
Solar says its network of authorized distributors, installers
and resellers already includes some of the most experienced and
knowledgeable practitioners in the solar industry. Now via the
Certified Installer Program, these experts will be accessible
in a greater number of regions and offer more products and services.
By choosing a BP Solar Certified Installer, customers will benefit
from complete service from an installer who:
has been trained on photovoltaic systems and on the sale and installation
of BP Solar products;
maintains the highest standards for safe installation and system
operations;
holds all required state and local licenses;
is uniquely able to offer customers enhanced products and services.
The
certification brings peace of mind to the end customer, as an
assurance for quality of delivery. The CIP offer contains additional
services to customers, e.g. the BP Solar Service Warranty, which
complements the existing product warranty.
