REC Solar Panels – Premium Performance & Innovation
REC is a premium solar panel manufacturer known for high efficiency and long-lasting performance. Its panels are widely used in residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects around the world. REC focuses on delivering sustainable, reliable, and eco-friendly energy solutions.
What Sets REC Panels Apart
REC uses half-cut cell technology, which enhances performance, reduces losses (especially under shading), and improves durability by dividing each solar cell into two halves.
They offer high efficiency panels, including Heterojunction (HJT) cells, which perform well across temperature variations and maintain high output even under hot conditions.
REC designs strong panel frames, capable of handling high snow loads (up to about 7000 Pa) and wind loads. This adds durability for installation in extreme environmental conditions.
They offer long warranties: typically 25 years performance warranty and up to 25 years product/material warranty when installed by certified installers (“ProTrust Warranty”).
REC Panel Types / Series & Wattages
REC has several series / product lines, each aimed at different needs (residential, commercial, aesthetics, etc.). Below are some of their major panel series and typical wattage ranges:
Alpha / Alpha Pure / Alpha Pure-R Series
These are among REC’s top-end panels using HJT cell technology.
Wattages generally range from ~385W up to ~430W in these models.
They often come in full-black or all-black designs, which appeal where looks matter (e.g. rooftops).
N-Peak / N-Peak 2 Series
These use N-type monocrystalline cells for improved efficiency and less degradation over time.
Wattages in this series often fall around ~350W to ~375W in many models.
TwinPeak Series (TwinPeak 2, TwinPeak 4, etc.)
More affordable / value-focused options. They still have good features like half-cut cells, improved shading performance, etc.
Wattage output in TwinPeak series panels is often in the ~300W to ~375W rang.
REC also offers multicrystalline PERC and larger 72-cell panels in the Peak Energy line, for commercial / large rooftop use.
Performance & Efficiency Ranges
Panel efficiency for REC ranges from about 19.5% up to ~22.5%+ depending on the model and series.
They guarantee good retention of power over time (low yearly degradation). For example, REC panels often promise ~25 years of performance warranty and at year 25 still deliver ~92% of rated power in many high-end models.
