The Awareness Group Bolsters Commercial Solar Strategy With REPM Acquisition

The Awareness Group (TAG), an emerging leader in solar energy services and financing solutions, has strengthened its commercial solar strategy with the acquisition of Renewable Energy Products Manufacturing Corp. (REPM). This strategic move, announced on January 31, 2025, is expected to integrate seamlessly into TAG's TAG GRID platform, significantly enhancing the company's renewable energy capabilities and reinforcing its commitment to sustainable energy development.



REPM, headquartered in Collingswood, New Jersey, brings 44 years of combined energy experience to TAG. Its comprehensive services include funding, maintenance, and monitoring for residential, commercial, and non-profit sectors. With over 1,000 installations across 16 states, contributing to a total of 2 gigawatts of solar power, REPM has a proven track record of success.

This acquisition is expected to yield substantial benefits for TAG, including:

1. Expanded Expertise: Leveraging REPM's 44 years of combined energy experience will enhance TAG's growth profile and ability to serve as the guarantor of TAG GRID projects nationwide.
2. Commercial Market Expansion: Providing TAG with immediate access to broader markets across 16 states, tapping into REPM's existing pipeline and commitment of future business to generate significant financial gains from new revenue streams.
3. Innovative Solutions: Integrating REPM's advanced solar panel technologies and innovative approaches to bolster TAG's sustainability efforts and technological advancements.
4. Commitment to Sustainability: Reinforcing TAG's dedication to creating a sustainable future through innovative solutions and state-of-the-art technology.



TAG's acquisition model is focused on identifying and integrating strategic assets or companies that complement the TAG GRID or provide unique technologies. Acquisitions are structured to ensure alignment and long-term value creation, with TAG initially purchasing a controlling interest and acquiring the remainder based on a pre-determined EBITDA multiple after 12 months.

TAG seeks companies that meet the following criteria:

* A successful company that has reached a growth plateau.
* Owners looking for a growth partner to scale their business.
* Each acquisition must bring strategic growth benefits to the TAG GRID.
* TAG's proprietary growth platforms must demonstrate the potential to deliver 3-5X growth.
* All executives must remain with the company for at least 18 months and contribute a minimum of 15 hours per week to corporate efforts.
* All executives and staff are required to transition onto payroll through one of TAG's entities.

TAG's acquisitions are designed to position companies for rapid growth and sustained success, offering strategic planning to identify and unlock growth opportunities, access to capital, operational expertise, and advanced technology to support scaling efforts.

The acquisition of REPM is the latest milestone in TAG's highly effective M&A strategy, which is designed to enhance the TAG GRID and drive exponential growth across its portfolio. TAG has strategically acquired six companies to date, each selected for their ability to strengthen TAG's position and accelerate its mission to transform the renewable energy industry.

In conclusion, the acquisition of REPM by The Awareness Group is a strategic move that bolsters TAG's commercial solar strategy, expands its market reach, and enhances its technological capabilities. By integrating REPM's expertise and innovative solutions, TAG is well-positioned to lead the transition to a sustainable energy future.
