Buderus out of the Solar Business ?

Member Posts: 1,581
i "inherited" a Buderus SKS 4.0 inert gas type solar system up here in the High Rockies that has developed some leaks on some of the joints. The system is only a couple years old and i would like to help save this system by replacing the Flex Connectors for the customer.
I was told by our supplier that Buderus is no longer in the solar business..They (Buderus) will not even call back and the supplier is having a hard time trying to obtain parts..
Has anyone else had these same problems ?
The part number that i have is 7 747 021 986 which is for a connection set
I also am in need for the Flex connectors which i do not have a Part number for.
Any solutions? Any"old" stock somewhere laying around ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do know that many of the solar thermal companies and closing because they just cant compete w/ PV and the cost of energy being lower than normal....

Bosch (Buderus) has withdrawn their solar from the N.American market, but they are required to maintain inventory for warranty.
I took me a year to get eight panels for warranty, but I finally got them.

Not good. They've dropped other products too, and my local distribution has stopped stocking them. Had a lot of promise 15 yrs ago. The finicky WS 3/Riello soured me big time.0

I had the same issue about two years ago with there push on o ring fittings. Found out they were getting out of the solar market (still in it overseas I was told). I finally did get the fittings but it took a while ordered through F.W Webb Co0

I wanted to thank everyone for their responses. I will try these leads. This has been very frustrating. So much for going Green Buderus! Robert Bosch would be turning around in his grave.0

There had to be close to 100 solar thermal companies in the US market back in 2007- 2009. I think Viessmann is the only European left, and a handful of American brands.
