As one of the leading providers of solar energy systems in Europe, the PV wholesaler Energiebau is well known among German installers for their high customer loyalty and satisfaction. In a recent study carried out by EuPD Research among German installers, the company from Cologne received top marks for their customer loyalty, satisfaction and distribution of modules and inverters. For this achievement they are now being awarded the premium quality seal Top PV supplier. This seal is given out each year only to solar energy suppliers who are rated unusually highly in comparison to their competitors.
The seal was developed in 2010 by EuPD Research as a form of independently evaluating solar wholesalers and thus ensuring more transparency in the supplier market. The branch seal is awarded after the completion of a complex market analysis based on qualified statements from installers and primary data from installer surveys. The seal Top PV Supplier provides an independent orientation aid for installers and end customers. Thus, as a top supplier, Energiebau have now been awarded with this premium sigil for the second time running.
Only a few leading photovoltaic wholesalers who have undergone a rigorous quality check are allowed to carry this seal. Therefore, Energiebau now belong to a small group of elite brands worldwide. "This award shows that consequently following through with our customer loyalty strategy was the right decision and that we enjoy a high level of trust among installers. Especially in that times a consequent customer orientation is a great help. The Top PV Supplier seal shows that independent studies also support this assessment" says René Médawar, Distribution Manager at Energiebau Solarstromsysteme GmbH.
