Founded in 1997, REC Solar has emerged as one of the nation’s leading solar developers. In addition to guiding customers through a seamless process for behind-the-meter solar and storage projects – and offering zero-upfront-cost financing and price predictability through its power purchase agreement (PPA) financing – REC Solar also works with landowners and large power users nationwide to scale greenfield development and provide more equitable access to clean energy through community solar.

“For the past 26 years, REC Solar has built a strong reputation in the renewables industry for providing high-quality solar and storage solutions and services,” said Lawrence Denney, President of REC Solar. “As we expand our on-site solar, energy storage and community solar portfolio, we are excited to partner with CAMS to ensure our customers continue to receive the comprehensive end-to-end solutions and services their businesses need for the long term.”

Through consistent, open communication and regular site visits, CAMS quickly identifies technical, commercial, and operational issues that may arise. If this happens, CAMS provides a recommended action, then works closely with the owner to implement creative and sustainable asset management solutions.
