October 22, 2014 – After launching its Solar Energeasy program back in June, the Rexel Group’s global marketing approach to solar photovoltaic services won a 2014 Solar Industry Award in the Industry Development category. Congratulations!

“This award is a strong acknowledgment of Solar Energeasy’s capability to bring a new dynamic to the solar photovoltaic market,” said David Shapiro, Rexel’s Services Development & Strategic Partnerships group director. “It provides a boost of confidence ahead of the launch in the UK and the Netherlands scheduled for October and November respectively, and for further roll-outs in the very near future.”

The Industry Development Award, which recognizes the best innovative ideas, programs, conferences or developments that enhance the progress of the industry and market on a global scale.

Solar Energeasy aims to provide solar PV buyers (individuals or companies) access to a range of services. For example, customers can simulate the generation potential of their future installation online, translate it into revenue, calculate their CO2 emissions savings and find out the equivalent in the number of trees planted. Consumers can also use the website to find an installer close to home and request a quote online.

Under Rexel Canada Electrical Inc., the Rexel Group operates two separate networks: Nedco and Westburne.
