A s a renowned leader in enabling complete commercial , public sector and utility-scale solar solutions , REC Solar has been in operation for over 20 years and provided more than 300MW of successful projects .

Following its acquisition by Duke Energy in 2017 , Josie Broome , Director of Procurement and Operational Excellence , believes there are a number of key factors that differentiate REC Solar from its rivals . “ Duke Energy has brought stability and financial backing . There are several solar companies that don ’ t exist anymore , but Duke has been around for more than 100 years and I believe customers really appreciate the stability that Duke provides ,” explains Broome . “ The type of projects that we go after , in combination with the customers that we look for and how we implement those projects and source materials is very strategic and focused . We ’ re certainly not new to the game .”
