Renewable energy company forms partnership with solar panel manufacturer

A Coventry-based renewable energy company has formed a partnership with a solar panel manufacturer.

Voltacon Energy Systems has become a UK partner for Shanghai-based JA Solar, and under the agreement, JA Solar will provide Voltacon with large shipments of its 440W and 600W dual-glass solar panels.

Voltacon’s managing director, Stefanos Kandilidis, connected with JA Solar representatives at the Intersolar Europe trade show in Munich, Germany, last summer.

Established in 2011, Voltacon supplies renewable energy products throughout the UK and exports to Europe, including markets in Greece, Spain, Italy, and Romania.

Kandilidis said: “We wanted to expand our business and add another important supplier of solar panels to
the range we sell. This collaboration marks a significant step in our mission to drive innovation and excellence
in solar energy solutions. Voltacon is committed to expanding the reach of off-grid electrification, delivering large-scale utility projects, and providing cutting-edge hybrid systems for residential use.

“With JA Solar’s high-quality solar cells, we are poised to deliver the next generation of solar panels that ensure maximum power output and long-term reliability. Through this partnership, Voltacon is not only delivering superior solar panels but also reinforcing our commitment to creating a sustainable future. The combination of high efficiency, exceptional design, and long-lasting performance makes these panels ideal for a wide range of uses.

“Since we started selling products from JA Solar, we have had impressive sales because they are such a well-known brand. Solar panels are becoming increasingly favourable because of the cost of electricity and gas and since they are VAT-free to install in households and the new Labour Government is supportive of solar and off-shore wind initiatives there is a very positive attitude to this kind of energy supply.”
