UMA Solar Announces Partnership with Kyocera to Distribute MyGen™ Solar Electric Kits Nationwide

Altamonte Springs, FL, February 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- UMA Solar, national distributor of Heliocol Solar Pool Heating and Solene Solar Hot Water Systems, today announced that a partnership agreement had been reached with Kyocera to distribute and market the global solar manufacturer’s MyGen Solar Electric Kits.

“This agreement continues UMA Solar’s tradition of offering the highest performing solar products at the best possible price,” says the company’s president Victor Eyal. “The decision to add Kyocera to our family of solar brands was the next logical step to providing our solar resellers with a solar electric product that is cost-effective, easy to install and backed by UMA Solar’s commitment to service and excellence,” he adds. “Kyocera is a world renowned leader in PV modules, and MyGen positions us well to our reseller clients as a one-stop shop for all types of solar energy products.” Both Kyocera and UMA Solar have been in the solar energy business for more than 30 years each, notes Eyal.

UMA Solar, which distributes the world’s largest solar pool heating systems throughout North America along with the solar industry’s highest rated domestic hot water collector, plans to market the Kyocera MyGen Solar Electric Kits side by side with its Solene Solar Hot Water Systems as a hybrid solar system in an effort to educate Americans about the higher efficiencies and cost savings which can be achieved with a hybrid over solar electric alone. Together, a solar water heater and a solar electric system can provide the same energy output with 25 to 30% savings over the cost of a solar electric system alone, reports Eyal. The company’s solar water heating brand, Solene Solar Hot Water Systems, was just awarded the ENERGY STAR last week.
