These REC solar modules are easy to install with made-to-fit cables and multiple grounding points that reduce the ground wire needed in installation. Easy to lift and handle, these REC solar panels have a robust and durable design, supporting a large mechanical load. Three bus bars and improved contact between the cell and metal fingers improves the electrical flow.
Committed to sustainability, REC modules have an industry leading energy payback time of one year. This is a result of innovations such as the new fluidized bed reactor (FBR) silicon production process which uses 80 to 90 percent less energy than traditional methods.
REC Peak Energy (PE) - Series modules are the perfect choice for building solar systems that combine long lasting product quality with reliable power output. REC combines high quality design and manufacturing standards to produce high-performance solar modules with uncompromising quality.
REC is a leading vertically integrated player in the solar energy industry. REC is among the world's largest producers of polysilicon and wafers for solar applications, and a rapidly growing manufacturer of solar cells and modules. REC is also engaged in project development activities in selected PV segments. Founded in Norway, REC is an international solar company, employing more than 3,000 people worldwide.
REC announced an improved warranty for 2011!
REC Solar is offering a linear 25 year warranty, along with a 10 year material and workmanship warranty.
This new warranty will apply to all REC Peak Energy series modules that are sold from the first of September, 2011.

In addition, we are happy to announce that we are again at the top of the field in in-field performance verified by a Photon™ PV module test.
The latest results can be seen here: Update from the field: Leading in the Photon Test.
REC Solar has also been recognized by the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN ) for having a significantly lower carbon footprint than other crystalline PV modules. This study was completed in Q1 2011, and took into account the complete environmental impact of producing a solar module.

Furthermore, the Solar Industry Award 2011 was given to REC Silicon for their innovative Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) process, which largely contributes to the efficiency of the ingot production, while helping REC to achieve the One Year Energy Payback due to reduction in energy consumption during the manufacturing process.
This new material and workmanship product warranty guarantees customers 5.6 percent more power output. Each REC solar panel is now guaranteed to provide at least 97 percent effective output during the first year of operation. This provides customers with the security needed when investing in a solar energy system.
The maximum decline is now 0.7 percent each year, providing a minimum performance level of 80.2 percent by the end of the 25th year of operation.
The material and workmanship warranty is almost doubled from 63 months to 10 full years.
REC stands behind their new warranty thanks to the high quality of products and control of the complete solar value chain.
REC Solar is committed to offering customers high performance solar modules with a long-term value. The decision to further improve warranty conditions was made following extensive evaluation. In order to ensure that REC customers have even more power than they have paid for, REC will continue to sort modules by plus five watts. The new linear and workmanship warranty applies to modules sold as of September 1, 2011.
