What is your name, location and job at REC?
My name is Harmen Schinkel, Sales Manager Northern Europe, I am living in Markelo, The Netherlands together with my 2 kids and my lovely girlfriend and 2 horses.
Why did you choose to work for REC?
I joined REC, a premium European brand known for its high-quality products and a team atmosphere that feels like a family company. It was a unique transition for me, moving from an installation company to becoming a part of REC, especially since I was already familiar with REC products from my previous employer. Interestingly, the installer I used to work for has now become a prominent REC Trusted Installer Champion, which is a nice testament to the quality and reputation of REC products.
Why is solar power the best power?
“The Sun shines everywhere” It is the most sustainable way to produce energy and one of the most accessible technologies to become sustainable.
What is your secret talent?
My secret talent is that I know nearly all German Schlagersongs as a Dutch person, and my passion for beer brewing. This combination is why I enjoy the Munich Oktoberfest!
Who would you like to have a long dinner with? I would definitely choose to have a long dinner with Nirmal Purja, who climbed all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters in just 6 months and 6 days. It would be truly inspiring to discuss his motivation to achieve what was once considered impossible.
