Under a newly executed strategic partnership between Arista Power and Helios Solar Works, Helios will manufacture and supply its monocrystalline solar panels to Arista for use in its products and resale. Helios has additionally agreed to consult with Arista on opportunities for solar projects that include an energy storage component while Arista Power distributes Helios’ product and solar modules, which are manufactured at its Milwaukee facility, to the US military.

Steve Ostrenga, CEO of Helios Solar Works, said, "One of the major benefits of our high-performance modules is their flexibility, which makes it possible to design systems that satisfy a variety of needs, from residential, commercial and governmental applications. We view this as a perfect fit with Arista Power's products, which are scalable and can be adapted to serve a variety of markets. We are very pleased to enter into this relationship because we believe Arista Power's expertise in energy storage combined with its ability to identify new and growing markets will lead to a rapidly growing business for both companies."
