Aligning with partners who have a track record of success and a long-term minded leadership group fits perfectly within our companys philosophy and practices. As we look to enter the next phase of Aurics future, the clear long-term choice for us was Silfab," said Jess Phillips, principal of Auric Solar, which currently has the most positive reviews in America.

The Auric agreement further strengthens Silfabs position as the best North American made module manufacturer. The vertical-integrated structure and 30-year global experience in solar systems assures suppliers and retailers that the trustworthy, bankable company is using only the best materials and methods to produce modules.

"Companies continue to select Silfab because of our North American location - which means quicker delivery, best-in-class warranties and high-touch customer service," said Geoffrey Atkins, Silfabs head of development. "Silfab is excited to partner with another customer-focused, high-quality solar provider such as Auric."

"RP ranks and selects manufacturers on three key criteria: Leading market products, well managed and long-term focused growth plans, and price-to-value ratio," said Jay Miles, Vice President of Russell Pacific. "Silfab hit highest marks on all three areas making it the module manufacturer we wanted for Auric for the next stage of their explosive growth."
