They can now provide their customers with high-quality installations backed by excellent technical and safety expertise, with the assurance of REC’s high performing solar panels,” she added.

Panels installed under the REC Solar Professional Program will also have two additional years added to their warranty and installers will be offered additional sales and marketing support.
