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. New in this case is that in 2013, German and British installers have also rated the solar specialist highly.
Only a few leading photovoltaic wholesalers who have previously undergone a rigorous quality check are allowed to carry this seal. Therefore, Krannich Solar now belong to a small group of elite brands worldwide. Kurt Krannich, manager of Krannich Solar GmbH & Co. KG on receiving the seal: "After our French branch was awarded the seal last year, we began to more consequently orientate ourselves on the requirements of customers in other European markets. This independent survey by EuPD Research shows this to be the right path. The satisfaction of installers in the three most significant European core markets is both a confirmation and an encouragement for us."
