Phaesun Off-Grid News - March 2020



Covid-19

Dear Phaesun Partner,

the current uncertainty is causing us at Phaesun to do everything we can to slow down the spread of the corona virus. Your health, that of your family and that of the entire Phaesun team and their relatives is our top priority at Phaesun.
Business operations at Phaesun have so far only been minimally restricted and we continue to deliver all the components offered on time, as you are used to from us. We have decided to minimise our business trips to the absolute minimum and to cancel our participation in upcoming exhibitions and conferences.
However, we are still available to you as usual by telephone and online. The whole Phaesun team wishes you and your family all the best in these difficult times.
Please also take prudent precautions to get through this unusually unpleasant new situation together in good health. Thank you for your friendship and trust in the work of the Phaesun Team.

Best regards

Your Phaesun Team






Important information:
Due to the current corona wave there are always delays in delivery traffic. Please let us know immediately if the goods cannot be delivered to you or your customer as usual. This will not only help us, but also our carriers, who  are struggling a lot during this time.
Many thanks for your assistance.

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that the forwarding agents and parcel service providers of our manufacturers are already no longer supplying various postcode areas. This may lead to delivery bottlenecks in the future. However, we will always inform you about this in a timely manner. Currently we are still able to deliver almost the entire product range.



Changes in shipping costs:
Everybody knows the problems in the fleet, whether it's the shipping companies or the parcel services. There are fewer and fewer drivers, as the older generation is disappearing more and more and there are hardly any new drivers.
The forwarding agencies and parcel services are forced to continuously adjust their costs to the current market situation. For all parcel deliveries that deviate from a standard dimension and / or do not fit through the automatic sorting, the parcel prices increase.
So we are unfortunately also forced to raise the package price within Germany to 1 € (6.10 € to 25 kg, 8.00 € to 30 kg). Europe-wide deliveries have a surcharge of 11.80 € net for parcels with a size of 120 cm or more.

On our order platform you will find the current price list for download. If you have any questions, please contact your export team.

Review: Fair Travel + Camping Essen
This year's fair was overshadowed by the early beginnings of the corona virus in NRW. As a result, only 60,000 visitors came to the exhibition centre, compared to 95,000 in 2019. 1,000 exhibitors from 20 countries did their best despite all this and the visitors on site were more focused on the fair.
This year we were represented with two stands for the first time. At our dealers Pieper GmbH and with a small stand of our own together with the company Peggy Peg Innovative Systeme both in hall 6. This gave us the opportunity to serve the end customers even more intensively, because the leisure industry is still booming and has achieved a turnover of over 11 billion in 2019.
The main focus of the visitors at our stands was on complete solutions (Caravan Kits) for motor homes and caravans. But of course also with our popular solar bags Fly Weight, which is more and more used as an additional supplement for existing systems, for example, to meet the constantly increasing power requirements of the vehicles to cover.
As before, a great deal of advice is still required here, because every customer has different electricity needs and specific requirements.
The next Reisen + Camping trade fair is expected to take place from 24.02. - 28.02.2021. We hope that this can then take place under better conditions.

Review: Austrian Boat Show Fair Tulln
Following the fair in Essen, the largest boat show took place in Tulln. Of course the uncertainty was also noticeable here. On the four days of the fair, instead of the normal 50,000 visitors, only 33,000 came into the halls and informed themselves with 380 exhibitors from 19 nations. Above all, the usual visitors from the Eastern European countries apparently preferred to stay at home this time. So it was much emptier than usual in the nine halls on 30,000m². The Messe Tulln distinguishes itself by its uncomplicated and courteous exhibition team. The visitors on site were very professional. We still have a stand here together with the shipyard Rammin from Barth. The main interest was in the wind generators from Silentwind, our semi-flexible modules from Sunpower and the solar bags. There is still a great need for explanation here, as the number of electronic devices on board is also increasing. At the end of the fair one could say there were good conversations, a lot of interest and also the boat sector in Austria is picking up more and more speed. The next Boat Show is planned for 04 - 07.03.2021. We would be happy if this show takes place again.
