In energy equipment, documentary compliance decides everything. A PV module or inverter without a complete EU declaration of conformity and without a warranty enforceable in your country is worthless, whatever the price.
So we verify three things before recommending: that the technical file and CE marking genuinely exist, that a European legal entity carries the warranty, and that spare parts are actually available. On equipment installed for fifteen or twenty years, after-sales weighs more than ten per cent of price.
We also track availability, which is highly volatile in this family. An attractive price on a batch described as "in stock" always deserves physical verification: we ask for the warehouse location and a reservation confirmation before closing a consultation.
Typical requirements
- Heat pumps and chillers
- Air-handling units and ductwork
- PV modules and inverters
- Switchboards and cabinets
- Cables, trays and switchgear
- PLCs, drives and sensors
