Western Electrical named as first Weidmuller Photovoltaic regional specialist distribution partner

Paul Boylin, Head of Product Management, Weidmuller UK said of the partnership: “Provision of solar energy and in particular, photovoltaic solutions in the United Kingdom is still very new and in many cases untested in the UK.   It is therefore absolutely critical that those involved in the implementation, whether an MCS installer, OEM, systems integrator or farm operator, are able to trust the skills and recommendations of their suppliers.”

Richard Lane, Renewable Energy Consultant from Western Electrical added:

“At Western Electrical, we have built up an in-depth knowledge of the photovoltaic market with recent projects including involving industrial and domestic installations.  Our customers need efficient, reliable, safe and fast solutions.  The combination of our planning and technical guidance services and our project support, along with the ability of Weidmuller in delivering photovoltaic solutions worldwide, places us in a very strong position to deliver a superior service and quality of products to provide the robust service and demanding efficiencies being looked for today.”

Western Electrical is a known and trusted provider of a comprehensive service to installers of photovoltaic systems.  The company also works with Commercial/Industrial Developers, Housing Developers and Public Sector organisations to supply photovoltaic systems into buildings. In addition, they have been supporting organisations developing large scale, solar Feed-in Tariff projects throughout the south west of England. Working alongside Energy or Facilities Managers, Sustainability Consultants and Specifiers, they aim to help meet carbon reduction targets and corporate social responsibility, whilst delivering high yield returns for photovoltaic systems.
