Set to be introduced at booth #4547 at the Solar Power International show in Los Angeles, the U.S. October 12 – 14, the CentroClub Partner Program offers new and established solar installers and integrators across the country access to year long support resources. The CentoClub Partner Program is available to both residential and commercial installers and provides sales and marketing support, technical training, tailored financing programs, and Market Development Funds (MDF) and its high-value engineering services.
"With the introduction of CentroClub, we now bring an unparalleled level of support to our growing network of installers and trade professionals," said Centrosolar America CEO Deep Chakraborty. "The solar industry now has tremendous momentum as solar is now a viable option for mainstream America. This program gives installers the necessary tools they need to compete successfully and take part in this new renewable energy marketplace that provides tremendous opportunity that are here to stay."
What makes the CentroClub program particularly unique is that Centrosolar America is already one of the few PV manufacturers with a business that sells directly to installers with its own nationwide sales force, while providing engineering services support and a national footprint for warehousing and distribution across the country. With its recent introduction of the latest CentroPack, Centrosolar Americas complete, pre-packaged and out-of-the-box rooftop installation system, the company now offers a complete, seamless suite of residential solar installation products and support services with the introduction of the CentroClub Partner Program.
"This is the best of both worlds for installers. Not only can we deliver an entire line of best-of-class German-engineered pre-packaged rooftop installation systems with quick delivery to the job site, but they also gain access to the support services they need for every aspect of their business – from proposal generation software to financing to installation and access to our in-house lead generation resources," added Chakraborty."
Through the CentroClub marketing services for its partners, they gain a competitive edge in their local markets by participating in cross promotions with Centrosolar Americas marketing team, resource listings in promotional materials and proposal templates for their prospective clients. In 2010, more than 200 installers and tradesmen across the US participated in CentroSchool, Centrosolar Americas national training program, which has become a cornerstone program for CentroClub members.
While there is no cost to join CentroClub, partners can participate at two levels, Gold and Silver, depending upon their sales volume. The Silver membership is available to start-up solar businesses with no sales commitment, while providing access to wide range of CentroClub benefits.
