Some PV markets are under pressure. The warehouses of many market participants are still full, expansion is stalling in some places and protectionist measures are being discussed in politics. However, Krannich is proving to be a stable and experienced partner in all of this. "It is important to us that our customers are well positioned in this environment and can rely on us. Because together we are stronger. This is expressed by our trade fair motto 'Better. Together.' expresses this,” says Jan Brunner.
After almost 30 years in the industry and more than 30 branch establishments worldwide, the wholesaler has a lot of experience and is in a stable position. “This is one of the reasons why our largest customers and manufacturers were also very optimistic.”
Trend towards large storage systems and commercial projects
One of the trade fair trends is large batteries and commercial storage systems. More and more manufacturers are entering the market or expanding their portfolio. The gap between products for residential systems and storage systems for large-scale projects is being closed. Krannich showcased the new Luna2000 H1 Energy Storage System at the trade fair stand and attracted a lot of attention. Among other things, the commercial storage system scores points with its sophisticated safety concept.

Krannich is also a strong and competent partner when it comes to large storage systems. Jan Brunner: “We remain true to ourselves and focus entirely on distribution. We are a competent partner for our customers and support them with planning, among other things." Capacities in this area are to be further expanded.
Complete systems trend
Another trend from recent years is continuing. Once again, we have seen manufacturers expanding their product portfolio and offering or planning to offer complete systems in the future. Axitec and Trina, for example, are expanding their range to include complete systems, which were also on display at the Krannich stand.
