The agreement, which will see REC Solar become an official distributor of GE's WattStation level 2 charging station, follows an announcement earlier this month in which GE announced it had partnered with Inovateus Solar to sell a range of solar-powered carports.
Unlike GE's large-scale carports, which cost anything from $29,000 up to $1.18 million, GE’s WattStation will help provide a low-cost electric vehicle charging solution for REC Solar's photovoltaic solar panel installations for smaller businesses, local governments and even residential customers. Pricing is yet to be announced.
The new partnership between REC Solar and GE means that REC Solar can offer bespoke solar-powered electric car charging solutions to its customers.
GE claims that this latest partnership makes it the leader in solar-powered electric car charging technology, with solutions now available for residential customers, businesses and shopping malls.
