During events held at two outside venues in Johannesburg and Cape Town, in-line with COVID regulations, Daniel Haitzler, Managing Director of IBC SOLAR South Africa, awarded its best system clients with Premium Partner Certificates for loyalty and great work. It is now the second year in a row, that IBC SOLAR SA has awarded system partners for their excellent SOLAR PV installations. “An IBC SOLAR Premium Partner is not only assessed by a certain level of sales volume but by the number of complete systems and the frequency of business interactions with us throughout the year. The success comes from partnership and that is what we are targeting with our clients to build a win-win relationship for all of us”, Haitzler points out. “Our Premium Partners are exactly that”.
