Habitual user of solar water heaters strike frostbite

Solar energy industry as a green industry, more and more social attention, solar products and more accepted by consumers. But what causes such a high percentage of solar water heaters on strike? Reporters on the crisis of confidence facing the solar water heater industry were interviewed.

    Into April and May, the weather is becoming hot, the renovation market increasingly prosperous, more and more families buy water heaters.

In winter the burst pipe

Home installation of solar water heaters, energy-saving plans is easy, the more cold the more hope to a hot bath at home, but home water heater Shuozhou public Zhang happens to strike one winter, water pipes burst every few days on .

Mr. Zhang in July 2009 to buy a certain brand of solar energy, found in December that year a solar water due to leakage caused by broken 10 cm. After minor repairs, the recovery use. In the winter of 2010 when the pipe burst recurrence of solar phenomena.

One winter burst pipes, the quality of the product itself is not a problem?

Mr. Zhang pulls out a purchase of this business to him when the warranty card, clearly written above: Solar host of quality problems within three years free maintenance. Subsequently, Mr. Zhang repeated contact with the dealer, the dealer to find a variety of reasons do not want to hear live, and said, want to change parts have charged $ 50, otherwise on the matter.

Mr. Zhang reflects the Consumers Association, the coordination of several CASE staff, and ultimately agreed to in accordance with the warranty card business description, be maintenance free.

Province CASE staff told reporters that 25 provinces and cities nationwide consumer rights unit, the usage of solar water heaters had launched a joint investigation, the results show that 40.87% of the solar water heater one winter shutdown. Through the statistics, the province consumer complaints about solar water heaters are mainly concentrated in the winter can not use the product.

Sigh

The siege of a small brand name products

And State Road in a well-known brands of solar water heater stores, sales personnel \"tube used in ultra-cold tube, firing more than 50%, still take hot water in the Antarctic, as well as installation of pipe insulation against off module, completely solve the heat in winter blocking off pipes frozen pipe problem, use solar energy in winter break the bottleneck. \"Reporters learned that the use of capacity for three or four around the 200L solar water heater, the price at least 3,000 yuan, or even 6,000 yuan. Consumers have to pay an additional parts cost.

Solar market in the provincial capital, the reporter found that nearly half of the brand is well-known products that are not in the containment of many small brands, the brand seems a little lonely in here. Some product names or marks are near the famous, and well known brands to take a similar name, the concept of fuzzy large walking a fine line. Shop in a small brand, the reporter saw the shop stocked with only one product, ask and found, where the price was very cheap, 200L capacity is only 1980 yuan price of the product, including accessories and installation costs.

Because the price gap, market, small shops branded products within the flow of people is significantly larger than the more well-known brand.

A well-known brand\\ s sales staff have also very helpless: \"No way, some consumers are price sensitive.\" According to the said store sales last year, about 300 units, while other nearby small brand products have to much higher sales volume.

Shock

Assembled products in a thousand dollars profit

Province CASE staff, told reporters, resulting in solar water heater one winter lay-off or difficult to use the main reasons: First, some small manufacturers of vacuum tubes, poor quality, small size, resulting in low collection efficiency thermal aquatic systems; second machine antifreeze poor; Third businesses or consumers to assemble their own solar water heater problems are still outstanding.

In this regard, a well-known brand name in Taiyuan Wei, head of the Office of bluntly: \"solar water heater industry, the threshold is too low, as long as the production of can produce! Those little brand no technical content, all assembled products.\"

According to reports, a relatively simple solar water heater works, the use of vacuum tube for solar thermal conversion, and then through the heat insulating layer of water can be, \"as long as the tube is black, can be drying out the water.\"

Industry\\ s low barriers to many workshops have begun sales of solar water heater listed, this is usually the stent, the house of the tank, another of the vacuum tube, assembled together on the sale. But the insulation layer is not thick enough, there is no pipe freezing measures, measures the lack of heating temperature … … this product may also use the summer, but winter weather is cold in our province, frequent water heater pipe cracking, leaking, or even burn out the circuit and other issues , the strike will feel a novelty.

According to insiders reveal, the cost of a solar water heater assembly of only seven or eight hundred dollars, while the OEM sale price is about 1,800 yuan, the profits of a water heater thousand dollars. In this profit-driven, more and more enterprises to squeeze into the solar market. In order to maintain profits this market, manufacturers can only be achieved by reducing costs, and thus vacuum coating thinner, more narrow frame, insulation and even a plastic foam impression.

The introduction of industry standards in the second half

Interview, the reporter learned that the first mandatory national standard – \"home efficiency of limited value and energy efficiency rating\" has entered a substantive stage of operation, expected to launch later this year, to regulate the industry chaos. In this standard, the solar water heater energy efficiency will be divided into three, one of the most energy efficient products. \"Is energy efficiency standards through the winter to see what effect the product?\" Mr. Sun asked consumers. \"We do not know what the specific content, but it is certain that with energy efficiency standards, the advantages of our brand products will be obvious, we are looking forward to the introduction of this standard.\" Surnamed Wei person in charge of the future, consumers energy efficiency can the selection of solar water heaters. High level of energy efficiency of the natural winter effect, this should be a guide, but also allows consumers to regain the trust of the solar water heater industry.

Consumer alerts

Consumption for the current solar water heater problems, Province Consumer Association reminds consumers: buy solar water heater, be sure to choose well-known brand, but before buying, the best understanding of the reputation of the business survey. For its services, warranty, consumers do not just listen to the dealer\\ s propaganda, be sure to ask for a formal warranty card, warranty or other written evidence, in the future in the event of quality problems, you can issue them to the dealer or the relevant notes to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Guide

The industry reminds consumers to use solar water heaters, please note the following three questions:

1, when the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius, open antifreeze device, so that the warm-up protection.

2, according to weather conditions and reasonable in Sheung Shui. In the temperature not too low (5-7 ?) in the case, the evening after water, hot water tank as well, should be full of water on solar water heaters; such as low temperature, should be the next morning in Sheung Shui, to prevent the water heater block frozen pipes.

3, the temperature is below 0 ?, the thermal solar water heater can open the tap, so that the slow drip, solar water heater to keep water flow to prevent freezing block.

4, the use of solar water heaters, bath, also pay attention to electrical safety. As part of the solar water heater installed electric auxiliary heating device, charged with leakage may occur if there is, so installation of electric auxiliary heating of the solar water heater must be installed leakage protection.

Property owners to install are no longer firmly say

During the interview, the company has changed in the past most of the property owners to install s to say \"no\" attitude.

    Energy saving solar water heater, known also by the majority of residents. But you live in the district, in the roof if you want to install a solar water heater, the top of households will oppose it? Property will prevent it? If they oppose, how should you do? Government departments to encourage energy saving in today\\ s solar water heater how to successfully enter the homes of ordinary people? With these questions, the reporter conducted in-depth interviews.

Property in: Century City residential property green Mirror Lake residents to install solar water heaters had firmly said \"no.\" But the company has a Yangxing official told reporters that they are not without energy saving ideas, but also for those who want to install solar water heater owners appreciate. But limited to two reasons, making the installation of solar water heaters in the attic is difficult to achieve, one green the existing houses are more than 18 stories tall, if installed, is difficult to ensure security; second installation of the property if the uniform on the top floor, causing the residents downstairs dissatisfaction, top-level design Shiyou not allow sufficient space for the installed capacity, load-bearing and water-proof housing may also be difficult to ensure. However, the official said, for wall-mounted solar water heaters, residential facade without affecting the overall appearance and external waterproof case, property owners can communicate with installation issues.

Government departments: Wuhu Municipal Construction Committee building energy efficiency and Technology Wangke Zhang said, Wuhu in the construction of renewable energy applications, with a foundation, showing a good momentum of development this year; relevant departments actively guide and encourage the building of units energy conservation, promoting renewable energy in the construction of large-scale applications. Recently, relevant departments will have some of the possible use of solar and other renewable energy projects to be subsidized construction applications.

How successful operation of brands

Choose to invest in solar energy industry, business management more and more, then how can store solar energy business is booming, the local rule the roost in the position to dominate, both quality and price of products that can sell more, by my analysis of the national part of the brand of solar energy Excellent dealer\\ s business experience and management\\ s views on the store solar energy to make the following rules winning store.

    With the saving society, the building of a harmonious society and the state of conservation-oriented policies to encourage the introduction of products, increasing consumer awareness of conservation, sustainable development of society makes for its new energy are not energy consumption, there is no security risk long life and a vast market and huge development potential to become a social and business focus. Choose to invest in solar energy industry, business management more and more, then how can store solar energy business is booming, the local rule the roost in the position to dominate, both quality and price of products that can sell more, by my analysis of the national part of the brand of solar energy Excellent dealer\\ s business experience and management\\ s views on the store solar energy to make the following rules winning store.

    First, choose the brand of solar

    Select the business solar energy solar energy products brand is the primary task of management and conditions, worked hard for several years in the business world, you are still struggling to find: more tacit cooperation of manufacturers, better cost of solar products. The choice of brand dealers should be mainly from enterprise strength, business ideas, marketing ideas, business prospects, product quality, price, operating profit, selling, market protection, service and other aspects into account, and then to the factory after the site visit decision, the key is the ability of solar energy for their long-term business brand, it is best to have a higher visibility in the industry and a good quality brand products to run.

    Second, site selection

    After a good brand of choice, followed by business site at work, operating a solar-powered brand, the brand should operate their business as long to do, it is best to focus on brand franchise to do the external image of this brand, we must first choose a good business site, choose grasp the \"passenger\" is the \"money flow\" principle in the busy, bustling lively flow of surrounding new residential lots or stores solar energy and building materials markets and other locations around the shop, the chances of success are often much higher than the average lot , because the crowd is a steady stream of potential source, once the store to find the ideal, we must act decisively, fast shot, won the fancy of the shop as soon as possible, or else lose the opportunity to store and regret, is likely to delay the moment because of your pre-empted by others, resulting in missed opportunities. How to win the store? Negotiations is of utmost importance. Rent on a good price for the shop, the rent is often the largest piece of a type of cost, as long as a suitable location can be reasonable in the case of prices won this shop.

    Third, the storefront image marketing

    The store\\ s image is the product and brand image, brand does not store the image of the solar energy, can at best be considered a brand, store brand itself can not be called a giant billboard, passersby and customers all the time to pass brand image. Friendly service, unique decor, and environmental clean image, store clean health, excellent products, enough to spread word of mouth to attract passenger traffic. Control of the overall image of the store. Store though the image of unity, but unity is not easy to complete the image (except the first store doors), so, according to the actual store environment and store size, etc. to effectively design and decoration is of particular importance. Meanwhile, the store\\ s brand personality, content, product display characteristics of effective and uniform control is necessary. To this end, the Ministry of brand, design and supervision of the Department of the Ministry under the brand characteristics, personality, ease of decoration and display of art product for the appropriate uniform, so that the image is also a good end to increase sales per dealer a good way, because only boost the image of the store, the brand naturally to a new level. stores the image is the product of the consumer\\ s first impression and first impressions of this brand, even if the image of the brand manufacturer brand is the business image.

    Fourth, advertising marketing

    Solar agents in order to make bigger, we must first clearly recognize that a brand is for profit agency, is the common development of the market big cake bigger, I absolutely can not have a proxy to the brand manufacturer, so the information kit are the manufacturers to pay to do with the advertising by manufacturers to promote ideas to support the local business based on the product and the agent must rely on their own day than by way of thinking, because the manufacturer\\ s ability to Omo\\ s not fine to each agent, so in their own area within the local market in order to quick-start greater efforts on the promotion, advertising on the media that we can not afford the money, saying that television is not able to advance out of the effect, as long as the TV advertising stops, customers no longer buy the. in the advertising community to do.

    The promotion of solar energy products for residential do in villages and towns up. Therefore, spend huge sums of money for television, radio, newspapers, signs and other advertising unrealistic, but spend less money for sun umbrellas, banners, posters and other forms of advertising are still many dealers operate can be done. Therefore, there are plans to carry out low-cost high-quality communications to promote the regional market, and based on these strong sales, sales will continue to achieve new breakthroughs.

    We can only do their own strength and some practical information, such as disseminating information, gift shop phone has published newspapers, comics, magazines, etc., can also do some local event marketing, such as environmental protection have donated to local nursing home and practical solar water heater or a solar energy store are donated to local schools and other public welfare activities, poor schoolbag, with local media hype, etc. to engage in some activities, such as: trade, aid stations set up solar energy, donor maintenance obligations solar energy and other activities, they played the service beaker, in short, is to spend the least money to do the biggest thing. do not only promote the brand, and gave local people left a good impression, can not completely rely on the strength of the manufacturers, to maximize the local their forces to achieve win-win.
