REC Group and Sunrun Sign Solar Panel Supply Agreement

published: 2014-08-22 17:23

REC Group has signed a supply agreement with Sunrun, a residential solar company in the United States, under which Sunrun will buy a minimum of 50 MW and up to 100 MW of REC's Peak Energy Series solar panels in 2015. The agreement also signifies REC Group's plans to further increase its footprint in the U.S.

"The U.S. will be an increasingly important market for REC," said Martin Cooper, CEO of REC. "With a combination of our flexibility to selectively dispatch our products across our global market network and ability to develop a new 72-cell production capacity, we have been able to quickly position ourselves well to take advantage of this opportunity. However, in the long term, the overall high-quality and reliability of our products remain the crucial factors for past and upcoming contracts."

"Access to high quality, high performing panels is critical in our ability to give even more consumers the choice to buy cleaner, less expensive power and achieve our vision of creating a planet run by the sun," said Paul Winnowski, Sunrun's chief operating officer. "Our certified installers believe REC's high-performance PV panels are one of the best rooftop solar products available and the company's unwavering commitment to quality, strong financial position and trustworthy reputation make them an ideal partner for Sunrun." 

This latest contract follows REC's announcement of its 72-cell utility-scale panel product for the U.S. market and other supply agreements, which have contributed to REC doubling its U.S. order intake over the past 12 months.
