NORCROSS, Ga.--Suniva, Inc., a U.S. manufacturer of high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells and modules, today, at Intersolar North America, announced a new distribution agreement has been signed with Soligent LLC, the largest solar energy equipment distributor in the Americas.

"We are very pleased to be able to announce this new relationship," said Daniel Marino, executive vice-president at Soligent. "Suniva's high-efficiency solar modules are compliant with the Buy America Act, which complements our current portfolio."
