REC highlighted its sustainable, over-performing products and services for the solar industry at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi from Jan.20-22, 2014. On display were the REC Peak Energy Series solar panels, which are best suited for the mostly arid desert conditions of MENA.

REC Peak Energy Series solar panels have a “desert-proof” accreditation for passing the Blowing Sand Test by SGS, an inspection, verification, testing and certification company. The test measures durability in harsh desert environments characterized by blowing sand and confirms that REC solar panels are also ideally suited for use in desert regions.

After opening an office in Dubai six months ago, REC has reported positive interest in its products from MENA to tap into the potential for solar panel products in this region. “The office in Dubai is the hub for all activities in the MENA region where we have already started to establish a new organization and partnerships to enter this promising market,” said Luc Graré, senior vice president, sales and marketing, REC.
