Munich, 14 December 2017: BayWa r.e. has been named “European Distribution Partner of the Year”. The award was presented by REC group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of solar modules. BayWa r.e. supplies high-quality solar modules from REC to installers through its international trading business, while also using the modules itself for large scale projects. The award was made because of BayWa r.e.’s strong international growth and the high sales figures for REC modules in the past year.
