ARRA
 Since the inception of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA), Public Law 111-5, there has been some concern surrounding the
eligibility of photovoltaic modules which are manufactured outside the United
States.
 Under specific conditions the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) waiver of the Buy
American Act (BAA) clause qualifies the REC Peak Energy Modules for ARRA
funding.
So what does this mean – and how do we get
our projects qualified for ARRA funding?
 Not all projects will qualify – but we believe that all ARRA funded projects
should go through a review to determine if REC Peak Energy can be specified
 The following is a discussion of ARRA and the factors/step that determine
qualification.
