It is important to learn about REC Solar Panels before you make a decision on which panel you will use for your home. REC is headquartered in Singapore and is a major supplier of photovoltaics products. Its products include modules and multicrystalline wafers. It is a 100% owned subsidiary by Reliance New Energy Solar.
REC's N-Peak Series
One of Europe's largest producers of solar panels is the REC Group. It has recently begun production of the new N-Peak Black Series of solar panels, which feature a 325 watt peak capacity. These panels are made at REC’s vertically connected manufacturing facility in Singapore. They are expected to ship their first panels in April. This new product line is the fourth REC innovation since August 2018.
REC is a reputable firm that has a long tradition of producing high-quality solar panel. The company's products are strong and covered by a 25 year warranty. In addition, REC products have a low carbon footprint. Certisolis has certified their technology, meaning that they can be recycled.
REC's Alpha Pure
Reliance Industries has acquired the Norwegian solar manufacturer REC Group. In September, they will showcase a new Alpha Pure R panel at Renewable Energy India. The new model is an upgrade from the Alpha Pure model that won the 2022 Intersolar Award. REC will also double production capacity in Singapore for the Alpha HJT product lines.
The REC Alpha Pure panel is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, with minimal environmental impact. It is compact and lightweight making it ideal for residential installations. It also boasts an impressively low claim rate and high power density, making it a great choice for those seeking to increase energy yield while making use of rooftop space.
REC's Pure-R
The Pure-R series is a brand new addition to REC’s range of solar panels. It is based off the Alpha Pure series and has 80 cells. This new layout makes panels more efficient and wider than their predecessors. It increases their power output by 410W to 325W.
Pure-R panels from REC are distinguished by their low temperature coefficient. This means that they produce more energy when it is warmer. They are therefore a good choice in warmer climates. These panels also have the 30 mm frame with two support bars. They are strong enough to withstand heavy loads.
REC's 25-year power output warranty
REC offers a 25 Year Warranty on its Solar Panels. But, before you submit a claim, there are certain conditions that you must understand. First, get in touch with your original installer. This will allow you to solve any problems. If you are unable or unwilling to reach your installer, you can file a warranty case through REC. The warranty covers labor costs and any parts.
REC's 25-year warranty on its solar panels provides a guarantee against degrading performance over the first 25 years. TwinPeak products are now at a 3%-2% first-year decay rate. The N-Peak solar panels, on the other hand, have experienced a 2% drop in performance within their first year. Its final warranted power output now stands at 85.5% after 25 years. This makes the panel an excellent choice both for homeowners and small businesses.
PERC cells of REC
REC's solar panel panels feature a PERC (permanent electron resistive cells) cell architecture. PERC stands for polymer electro-resistive cells, and this particular technology enables panels to absorb more light. The REC Alpha Pure R is constructed on an 80-cell layout. This panel is significantly wider than traditional panels and has a shorter length. It also improves efficiency to 22.3%. It is the most efficient solar panel available. The panel's power output has increased from 410W up to 430W with this new design.
The PERC cells use a thin passivation coating between the metal contact and the base silicon wafer. This passivation layers has holes that allow for small areas to be in direct contact with the wafer and the material. This increases efficiency and lowers the chance of electron recombination.
