REC Solar Professional Program
Benefits Guaranteed - for solar installers and end customers.
The REC Solar Professional Program was created with installers and end customers in mind, providing benefits to both.

Beyond that, certified REC Solar Professional installers receive several benefits that add more power to their business, including sales tools, marketing support, and to exclusively offer an extended producted warranty.

Rich with Real Benefits that Deliver Real Value
Benefit 01
Professional Certification Program
By becoming an REC Solar Professional installer and taking part in the comprehensive training sessions, you are then recognized as a skilled and qualified seller and installer of REC panels, giving added value to your company, colleagues, and customers.
Welcome Pack
As soon as you have successfully completed the certification training, we’ll equip you with everything you need to market your business and REC panels immediately: rollup poster, mini solar panel, framed certificate, branded USB stick with training material pre-loaded, plus other REC-branded promotional material.
Benefit 03
Marketing support
We understand that marketing may not be the focus of your business. That’s why REC will support you with what you need to sell more. Whether you need free product data sheets, technical whitepapers, company fact sheets, or REC branded merchandise for your sales efforts, we’ve got you covered.
Benefit 04
Extended warranty (20 + 5 years)
As an REC Solar Professional, you can exclusively offer your customers an additional five years on the 20-year product warranty for rooftop installations up to 500 kW.

The panels just need to be purchased from an REC Platinum Partner distributor.
