ICP Solar Technologies Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire privately held WES Power, described as a leader in renewable power performance management systems.

"We believe that the acquisition of WES Power and its GreenMeter™ technology is strategically important for us," said ICP Solar CEO and Chairman, Sass Peress.

This will give our company a competitive advantage in the marketplace and position us to become a leader in this fast growing renewable power category."

All of the ICP Solar chargers come with Plug’n’Play™ for quick connectivity, several adaptors for different applications including the GreenMeter™ which includes desktop software that records and displays the power generated from panels and up to the minute information on greenhouse gas savings.

"ICP Solar has clearly established itself as a leader in the solar energy industry and we are pleased to become part of the team that is working to accelerate the evolution of the solar energy experience," said WES Power CEO, Gerry Heffernan. "We look forward to bringing together our technologies and creating the next generation of solar energy products."
