SIEMENS SOLAR OFFERS SOLAR-POWER KITS FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLES

New Packaged Systems Available Through Authorized Dealer Network

CAMARILLO, Calif., July 26, 1999 – Siemens Solar, the world's leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic cells and modules, today introduced a line of battery-charger kits that provide cost-effective solar-power solutions for recreational vehicle owners.  The Siemens Solar RV Power Kit is a complete packaged system that includes everything RV owners need for a quick and easy installation.  The company also announced the commissioning of over 350 Authorized PowerProTM Dealers in North America, a network of dealers qualified to sell and install the RV Power Kit product line.

 Each Siemens Solar RV Power Kit includes a solar module, a charge controller, mounting hardware, heavy-duty wiring, and an installation guide.  The kits are available in a variety of power outputs (36, 50, 75 and 100 watts) to meet the various needs of RV owners for operating direct current (DC) appliances.   Additionally, Siemens Solar is offering Expansion Kits in outputs of 50, 75, and 100 watts.  Expansion Kits include a solar module, mounting hardware, and wiring that can be paired with the full RV Power Kits for those RV owners who want additional power

``We believe our unique solution is unmatched in the recreational vehicle market – a complete kit, with nothing else to buy, containing our world-class solar module, at a very attractive price point," said Chet Farris, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Siemens Solar Industries. 

Siemens Solar RV Power Kits were developed in response to the needs of the growing RV market.  In 1998, the RV industry reached a 20-year high in shipments with a retail value of $8.4 billion, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) of Reston, Virginia.

 The kits provide the following features and benefits:

  • Quiet coach battery charging, eliminating the need for on-board generators
  • Economical power when compared to a lifetime of hook-up fees
  • Reliable performance because they are rugged, weather-tested and have no moving parts
  • Environmentally superior because they use sunlight instead of fossil fuels
  • Built for the long-term with a 25-year warranty on the 50, 75, and 100-watt solar panels and five years on the other system components
  • Easily expandable and virtually maintenance-free

The Siemens Solar Authorized PowerProTM network ensures the safe and economical installation of the RV Power Kit products.  Dealers also provide assistance in RV Power Kit system sizing and configuration.  Consumers interested in purchasing a Siemens Solar RV Power Kit can locate an Authorized PowerPro Dealer by calling Siemens Solar at (800) 947-6527.  Companies interested in becoming Authorized Solar PowerPro Dealers should contact Clay Aldrich via the Siemens 800 number.

Suggested retail pricing for the RV Power Kits ranges from $449 for the RV Power Kit 36 to $999 for the 100-watt model.  The 36, 50, 75 and 100-watt products are in stores and available now.
