Micro-Generation Gets Technical Facelift

Solar and Wind Applications have recently teamed up with Irish company Coolpower Products as distributors and installers of the EMMA, Energy and Micro-Generator Manager.

This device not only maximises the earnings of your solar PV or wind turbine generator system, but it also provides you with hot water and can solve various problems with connecting larger generators to the National Grid.

The EMMA is being hailed as one of the greatest technical breakthroughs in the micro-generation sector, and along with the assistance of the Feed in Tariff, the product will be a great addition to a system to anybody investing in the products and services provided by Solar and Wind Applications.

Working with some of the worlds' leading renewable energy experts, Coolpower Products have developed the product and rigorously tested on many sites with various generators and now have a finished product which works perfectly with your new or existing micro-generator system.

They are a company ideally set up to accept such a ground-breaking product into its list of services, working on expertise gained over the last 7 years in business in the renewables industry.

The first batch of installations have gone well in Scotland, and we are receiving very positive feedback from our happy customers.
