Q&A – Consumer Credit Solutions

What have you got planned for the next 12 months? Our priority is to get more funders interested in financing solar PV and renewables technology. We already have a panel of lenders that are very enthusiastic supporters and we have another lender that’s about to participate in the market imminently. We also have a couple of negotiations underway that might result in further finance options for the solar sector, including the provision of second line lending aimed at underwriting consumers who may have failed finance through a primary lender.

Q&A – David Bassie, Mastervolt

Q: What have you got planned for the rest of 2013? We will complete the field test of our brand new residential storage system and have it certified so that we can put it on sale. The system is based on our tried-and-tested marine combi range, of which more than 10,000 units are already in operation. It contains our own Li-ion battery with an integrated battery management system and is able to be retrofitted to existing solar plants without the need for the inverter to be replaced. We are also completing our SunMaster ES series with a 2.2 kW and 3 kW models.
