Waxman Energy Signs Trina Solar Distribution Agreement
Waxman Energy has announced the signing of a distribution agreement in the UK with new partner Trina Solar, a global leader in photovoltaic modules, solutions and services.
Following a lengthy period of research into a wide range of manufacturers, Waxman Energy, an independent distribution company with over 50 years' industry experience, will now stock Trina Solar's 250Wp PC05A Honey modules.
Chairman Richard Waxman explained the decision to opt for Trina Solar modules: "We spent at least four to five months doing our homework. Trina Solar's record as a module supplier and partner for numerous large-scale installation projects was what really swung it for us when it came to selecting a manufacturer to work with. The regular screening, regulation and approval by banks and other investors that the company has to go through in order to operate successfully in this sector convinced us that we would be sourcing modules from a supplier that is very much here to stay in the market."
Waxman was also impressed by Trina Solar's approach to the UK market: "Unlike a lot of major manufacturers, Trina Solar has an excellent team on the ground in the UK. The professional support we received throughout the evaluation process and Trina Solar's strategy of looking for a long-term customer relationship, gave us the confidence to become a distribution partner. It is very encouraging to see one of the world's largest manufacturers making such a significant commitment to the UK market," he said.
Speaking about the agreement, Trina Solar's UK Sales Manager Richard Rushin said: "We are obviously proud to have been selected as a partner by Waxman Energy, particularly given the stringent nature of their evaluation process and their standing in the UK distribution industry. The UK is a hugely significant market for us and it is very satisfying to see our long-standing commitment to supporting the distributor and installer community recognised like this. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with Waxman Energy."
