❘❙◗ REC was established in 1996 and is the only player in the industry that is posi-

❘❙◗ In sunny countries, where the potential is greatest, production of solar energy is at
peak level when energy consumption is highest (because of air conditioning). ❘❙◗ Production takes place at the consumption site, thereby helping to eliminate
peaks in consumption and reduce total consumption. ❘❙◗ Plants have a long lifetime and require little maintenance (no moving parts). ❘❙◗ Well suited for many micro-purposes: remote weather stations, outdoor light-
ing, clocks, calculators, etc.
