Solectria Renewables Celebrates Year of Record Accomplishments; Demonstrates Exceptional Bankability in Commercial and Utility-Scale Solar Projects

With a 40% increase in revenues and seven years of consistent profitability, Solectria Renewables leads the industry in bankability

Lawrence, MA - January 7, 2014 - Solectria Renewables, LLC, a leading U.S. PV inverter manufacturer, announced today record results for 2013, including seven years of consecutive profitability, a 43% year-over-year growth in Megawatts (MW) shipped, and 40% year-over-year growth in revenues. In combination with its strong financial position, technological advances, long history, and project successes, Solectria Renewables is among the most bankable inverter manufacturers today.


"Bankability" is a common term used to describe companies by using financial and other attributes required for solar project success. Solectria measures bankability by objective facts including profitability, debt-to-equity position, and current ratio. Among five major inverter manufacturers, Solectria Renewables ranks at the top for bankability. (See below for the full Bankability Snapshot.)

"Solectria Renewables is one of the most consistently profitable and financially healthy PV inverter manufacturers operating today," says Phil Vyhanek, President of Solectria Renewables. "In 2013, we expanded our team and manufacturing operations, launched new products, and contributed to many project successes, all while maintaining the financial health required for true bankability."

Solectria Renewables' record results for 2013 include:

*Financial Health: Solectria achieved a 40% increase in revenues year-over-year, and celebrated its seventh year of consecutive profitability.
