JUNE 5, 2019 - Today Solaria® was honored with RETC PV Module Index Initiative High Achiever Award, presented at the SNEC 2019 PV Power Expo in Shanghai. Solaria, a global provider of solar technologies, was recognized for the outstanding performance and efficiency of its flagship photovoltaic panel, Solaria PowerXT®.

"RETC is very pleased to present Solaria with a High Achiever Award, in recognition of PowerXT's outstanding performance and efficiency," said Cherif Kedir, RETC President and Chief Executive Officer. "In our testing of over 2,500 modules last year, Solaria technology had one of the highest module efficiencies tested."

"We're thrilled that Solaria is being recognized as High Achieving quality PV panel," said Solaria CEO Suvi Sharma. "To complete its comprehensive ranking, RETC puts solar products through exhaustive accelerated reliability and performance characterization tests. We're heartened that our industry continues to recognize the value of Solaria's high performance, efficient and attractive pure black panels."

"As the industry has matured, solar professionals may want to focus on the cost per watt, but modules with the lowest price are not always top values in performance, quality or reliability," added Kedir. "RETC's report provides data showing test results for modules that achieved results at the top of the distribution." RETC developed its PV Module Index Initiative to help the entire solar industry better evaluate modules based on important attributes beyond efficiency and cost. The report calls out high achieving modules that demonstrated solid results in terms of reliability, performance, and quality.

Solaria PowerXT® is a high performance solar panel - a sleek and attractive option for homeowners interested in rooftop solar arrays. Solaria manufactures the pure black PowerXT® solar panels using advanced cell interconnect and module production processes, to significantly boost power generation and provide outstanding performance, while eliminating reliability challenges that can reduce conventional PV panels' long-term performance. Solaria's reliable solar panel offers homeowner peace of mind while increasing the value of their homes and buildings.
