REC Solar Panels

REC TwinPeak, N-Peak and Alpha use several evolving technologies:

• Cells made from larger wafers for increased current production
• Five bus bars for reduced cell resistance
• Half-cut cell technology to reduce resistive power loss in the panel
• PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) for increased light capture
• Split junction box spread across the middle of the panel, allowing an innovative panel design and improved performance in shaded conditions
• Certified according to IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, as well as UL 1703
• 1000 V or 1500 V configurations for maximum balance of system cost savings
• 100% free from potential-induced degeneration (PID), avoiding performance losses under harsh climate conditions, such as high heat or humidity.

Advantage In Shaded Conditions

The unique REC ‘Twin’ cell layout design, where the panel is split into two identical and mirrored sections, also enables the continued production of energy, even when part of the module or array is shaded, further contributing to its high energy yields compared to standard panels. Due to the two separate sections, REC split-cell solar panels offer improved performance in certain shading conditions. When half of the solar panel is in the shade, the other half will still generate electricity. This is not possible with traditional modules where the potential power stops at the shade point.

Shaded darker string produces less energy. Bypass diodes remain closed and the shaded string does not contribute to output, while the ‘opposite’ string continues to function

This can help ensure that all modern REC solar panels start to produce energy earlier than a standard panel and continues to produce energy later in the day when a standard panel may be shaded, and Single-Axis Tracker backtracking may be disabled for system performance gain.

Advantages of REC's N-type Mono Cells

Based on high efficiency monocrystalline cell technology, the REC N-Peak & Alpha boost solar panel efficiency through n-type and PERT technologies:

• With n-type cell technology, the internal construction of a cell reduces Light Induced Degradation (LID) to zero, meaning no power loss right after installation
• PERT technology completely passivates the rear of the cell for increased electron capture and high and stabilized efficiency
• Class-leading temperature performance keeps panels cooler for increased efficiency and higher yields
• All round higher yields at higher wavelengths, with strong performance from dawn through to dusk

REC Solar Panel Warranty

REC's New 20 year product / 25 year performance warranty provides customers with the security needed when investing in a solar energy system.

REC stands behind their 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. 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 every REC solar panel sold by Solar Electric Supply. Solar Electric Supply only supplies the US Model TwinPeak, TwinPeak 2, TwinPeak 2S 72, N-Peak and Alpha solar panels for our customers in the USA.
