For Immediate Release!

The past few weeks have been big news for Riley & Sun. Along with our new Facebook and completely reworked website, we are now publishing our 2012 press release! Here it is, for your reading pleasure, and feel free to send us an email (info@rileyandsun.com) with any questions or comments!

SunPower Builders and Riley Sales team up to create Riley & Sun with the purpose of providing turnkey solar to contractors with all ranges of experience.

July 18, 2012 Plymouth Meeting, PA: Two well-known and respected companies with a presence in Pennsylvania and New Jersey have joined forces to create Riley & Sun, a new venture dedicated to streamlining the complex process of designing and installing solar energy systems. The goal of Riley &Sun is to make it easier for contractors to get into the burgeoning solar market with the highest quality solar products and support from the 40 years of experience of SunPower Builders and Riley Sales.

Riley & Sun has begun selling turnkey Solar Systems include everything needed to install a residential or commercial system from design down to the nuts and bolts. Installation manuals and assistance are also available. For the more experienced contractor, Riley & Sun will offer a complete line of system components from modules and inverters to wire and BOS items.

“Buying solar used to be difficult – the parts had to be ordered from different companies all over the country, and you had to search for what you needed,” says Jon Costanza, President of SunPower Builders and co-founder of Riley & Sun. “There was a lot of time spent looking for everything and then getting it shipped. Riley & Sun eliminates that burden from the contractor by providing the whole system packaged and delivered, ready to install at your jobsite.”

Riley and Sun combines the knowledge and experience of SunPower Builders, a Collegeville, PA sustainable design/build firm and solar energy company since 1974, and Riley Sales, a multi-store HVAC distributor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey established in 1965. Riley Sales, a family owned business that values loyalty and accountability, is distinguished by fast, courteous, accurate service from knowledgeable employees, fair pricing and satisfied customers. SunPower Builders, a leader and advocate for solar energy for nearly 40 years, addresses the triple bottom line – people, planet, profit – and is committed to responsible business practices, including supporting its non-profit partner, SunPower Afrique.

Riley & Sun offers delivery of systems to jobsites or pick-up at one of its seven locations in Lehigh Valley, West Chester, Stowe, Delaware County, Plymouth Meeting, NE Philadelphia and Moorestown, N.J. Numerous resources are also available on its website, www.rileyandsun.com.
