REC Solar Achieves Milestone: Costco Install Marks 500th Solar Electric System for 2007
Posted on: Thursday, 20 September 2007, 15:00 CDT
REC Solar, a leading provider of residential and commercial solar electric systems, announced that during the first three quarters of 2007 the company has installed 546 solar electric systems, ranging in size from 1.0 kW to 700 kW, throughout California, Colorado, Hawaii and New Jersey. The recent groundbreaking ceremony in Kona, Hawaii for the Costco warehouse's 680 kW DC solar electric system, marked REC Solar's 500th installation in 2007.
According to Matthew Woods, Director of Sales and Marketing for REC Solar, "REC Solar has quickly grown to become a leading provider of solar electricity and now installs more solar systems on an annual basis than any other solar provider in the US solar market."
REC Solar estimates it will install 43,000 solar electric panels on US homes and businesses in 2007. The panels installed by REC Solar in 2007 alone will produce 11.5 million kilowatt hours of power over the next 25 years and will improve the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 329 million pounds (the average American home creates approximately 13,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from electricity per year).
Earlier this month REC Solar and Costco Wholesale announced their agreement to install a total of 2.5 Megawatts DC of solar electricity on four of Costco's warehouse locations in California and Hawaii. As a leader in the US solar industry, REC Solar continues to expand its presence in the commercial solar market by partnering with top organizations. REC Solar is currently working on several commercial projects for some of the nation's largest companies.
REC Solar has a total of twelve regional offices across the country, including nine in California--San Diego, Orange County, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Bakersfield, Fresno, Sunnyvale, and Sacramento--plus Colorado, Hawaii, and New Jersey. REC Solar is continuing its rapid expansion into more states as it pursues its vision of bringing solar into the mainstream nationwide.
