    Wouldn't using a 220V three-phase inverter from the same SAJ brand, without the need to use a transformer, be more interesting?

  • Edgar

    Good afternoon, can you give me the contact details of the voltaic system distributor?

  • Benedito

    Good morning, I need to install solar energy in my house, to generate 900 watts, but I'm making a budget and it's tough, and this solar energy is top notch and the quality is great.

  • Juarez Ferro

    Good morning! Please only inform if the customer is completely outside the distributor?
