TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/19/13 -- EfstonScience, Canada's solar power experts, is pleased to announce eSolar.ca is now the Authorized Solar Distributor for Schneider Electric's Grid-Tie (GT) Central Solar Inverters, formerly known as Xantrex GT Inverters.
Grid-Tie Central Inverters convert direct current (DC) voltage from solar panels into grid-ready alternating current (AC) power. The three-phase product line is available in 100 kW, 250 kW and 500 kW, offering an easy-to-integrate solution featuring high-reliability design and competitive efficiency - all Ontario FIT program compliant.
Working with EfstonScience will be just like working with Schneider Electric. Sales and customer service will be delivered through EfstonScience, and commissioning, technical services and warranties will be directly managed by Schneider.
Offering factory direct pricing through EfstonScience, Schneider Electric GT Inverters are the most bankable inverters for any FIT project. As Schneider's authorized solar distributor, pricing will be the same and perhaps better than buying directly from the manufacturer.
"With an over 80-year history as Ontario's leading electrical manufacturer, Schneider Electric produces the world's top-rated grid-tie solar inverters," says Nick Efston, President of EfstonScience and eSolar.ca. "We are proud to partner with Schneider Electric to best service the commercial solar energy market and ensure clients get the top technology they need to protect their FIT investments."
Partnering with Schneider has many benefits:
-- 500+ GT inverters have already been installed across Ontario
-- With an office and plant in Mississauga, Ontario, Schneider Electric has
100+ service technicians and 35+ trucks - service unparalleled in this
market today
-- 10 and 20-year extended warranties are available with service and up-
time guarantees as options
-- Schneider Electric is the only inverter manufacturer with Multiple
Environmental Over Stress Testing (MEOST) facilities
"The team at EfstonScience is dedicated to exceptional customer service, top-notch logistics management, comprehensive engineering support, and of course, providing unmatched technology expertise," says Efston. "We're so happy to be working with Schneider to equip our customers with the leading technology they need to generate revenue and deliver renewable energy to communities across Ontario."
eSolar.ca's specialists will be at Schneider Electric's booth #700 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre's CANSIA Solar Canada 2013 Show on December 9th and 10th.
