RGS Energy Surpasses $36 Million in Written Reservations for POWERHOUSE™, Adds Second Plastic Molding Manufacturer to Meet Growing Demand

DENVER, June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RGS Energy (NASDAQ:RGSE), the exclusive worldwide manufacturer of the POWERHOUSE™ solar shingle system, entered into a partnership agreement with Revere Plastic Systems, LLC, one of the nation’s top injection molders, to bolster its POWERHOUSE™ supply chain to meet increasing customer demand.

Revere Plastic Systems has agreed to dedicate resources required to support up to $138 million in estimated annual POWERHOUSE™ revenue. 

“Having met with the RGS team, seeing the POWERHOUSE™ product firsthand, and understanding the huge market potential,” said Glen Fish, Revere Plastic Systems CEO, “we are delighted that RGS has asked us to dedicate resources, so that POWERHOUSE™ can be launched to achieve first-mover advantage in the solar shingle marketplace. We believe our financial strength and reputation will enhance the POWERHOUSE™ supply chain. Beyond that, we believe as the POWERHOUSE™ line evolves, our design and engineering expertise will prove to be valuable at reducing cost and enhancing product features.”

To meet growing demand, we required an additional plastic molding manufacturer. As we work towards UL certification in September, our supply chain partners are taking the necessary steps to be able to quickly manufacture POWERHOUSE™ immediately following UL certification. We are very happy that a firm of Revere’s reputation and size, with over 230 injection molding presses, has chosen to join our team.”
