REC Group and Sunrun Increase Solar Panel Supply Agreement to 100 Megawatts

"REC is committed to consistently delivering volume quantities of its high quality panels"

OSLO, NORWAY AND SAN FRANCISCO — FEBRUARY 25, 2015 — REC Group (Oslo Stock Exchange: RECSOL), a leading global provider of solar energy solutions, and Sunrun, the largest dedicated residential solar company in the United States, today announced the expansion of their supply agreement signed in August 2014. Under the terms of the deal, Sunrun will purchase 100 megawatts (MW) of REC's high-quality, high-performing Peak Energy solar panels, with deliveries scheduled throughout 2015.


"Our original panel supply contract with Sunrun called for a minimum of 50 MW, with an option for up to 100 MW, so this doubling of volume underscores the solid relationship between the two companies and our position in the U.S. residential market," said Arndt E. Lutz, senior vice president of REC Group and managing director of its North American business. "Customers like Sunrun understand the value of REC's high standards of quality, reliability and integrity inherent in our products and the way we do business."

"REC is committed to consistently delivering volume quantities of its high quality panels," said Paul Winnowski, chief operating officer of Sunrun. "This enables Sunrun to provide consumers with the best and most reliable solar panels on the market for their home solar system. Our decision to strengthen our partnership reflects the confidence we have and that our qualified installers have in REC's high-performance rooftop solar products today and in the future."

The amended Sunrun agreement is the latest in REC's string of major panel supply agreements and installations in the U.S. market. REC has signed 703 MW of long-term supply agreements for the residential, commercial, and utility segments in the U.S. market since May 2014. The Norway-based company is expanding its production capacity to 1.3 gigawatts at its state-of-the-art, vertically integrated Singapore manufacturing facility.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technologyâ„¢, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
