Electricity
Wagner Solar UK Ltd is a wholesale distributor of solar electric systems, servicing the PV installer community. We are based in the south of the UK and service the entire United Kingdom with our quick and efficient wholesale distribution operation.
Made-to-measure dimensioning - at no extra cost
The main reason why installers choose to work with Wagner Solar is our bespoke system dimensioning service which we offer at no additional cost. As the feed-in-tariff lasts for 25 years, it is critical that your photovoltaic system outlasts this and continues to perform for 25 years and beyond. This means that the system must be scoped and installed correctly so it sustains optimum performance whilst withstanding unexpected extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow or wind. Our expert sales team will dimension your system statically, as part of their standard service, whilst offering you the most competitively priced PV products on the market.
Large product portfolio with consistently high stock levels
We are the UK arm of Wagner & Co, the leading German solar power company with more than 30 years' experience in the market. Whilst we stock our key module and inverter brands locally in the UK, we have immediate access to a wide range of products with consistently high stock levels to provide you with an optimum service offering.
Rapid Despatch and delivery
We offer a rapid despatch and delivery service. If you place your order by 12pm, it will be processed the same working day, to be packed the next and delivered the following working day. If you want a 48 hour delivery, please make sure you get your order in before 12pm. This is just another reason to choose Wagner Solar UK Ltd.
Wagner Academy training school
Everybody working in the solar industry knows that no two days are the same. As the industry evolves, PV module and inverter technologies are advancing at a rapid pace. We have set up the Wagner Academy solar training school to provide installers of PV with post MCS accreditation product and installation training, so that installers can keep up-to-date with the latest technology and changes in the industry.
Information
Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of a number of cells containing a photovoltaic material. Materials presently used for photovoltaics include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium selenide/sulfide.[1] Due to the growing demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has advanced considerably in recent years.[2][3][4]
As of 2010, solar photovoltaics generates electricity in more than 100 countries and, while yet comprising a tiny fraction of the 15 TW total global power-generating capacity from all sources,[5] is the fastest growing power-generation technology in the world. Between 2004 and 2009, grid-connected PV capacity increased at an annual average rate of 60 percent, to some 21 GW.[6] Such installations may be ground-mounted (and sometimes integrated with farming and grazing)[7] or built into the roof or walls of a building, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics or BIPV for short[8], while BAPV is Building Applied PV -– it’s a retrofit added to the building long after construction[8]. Off-grid PV accounts for an additional 3–4 GW.[6]
Driven by advances in technology and increases in manufacturing scale and sophistication, the cost of photovoltaics has declined steadily since the first solar cells were manufactured.[9] Net metering and financial incentives, such as preferential feed-in tariffs for solar-generated electricity, have supported solar PV installations in many countries.
