Explore REC’s Diverse Solar Panel Offerings: Alpha, N-Peak, and TwinPeak Series
REC offers a variety of solar panels to cater to different needs and budgets. Some of the key panel series they provide include:
- REC Alpha Series: These high-performance panels use heterojunction (HJT) technology, providing excellent efficiency and a long lifespan. They come with a power rating of up to 430W.
- REC N-Peak Series: These panels use N-Type silicon wafers and PERC cell technology, delivering high efficiency and power output. The power rating for these panels ranges from 320W to 375W.
- REC TwinPeak Series: Known for their affordability, these panels use half-cut cell technology, which improves performance under partial shading conditions. The power rating for TwinPeak panels ranges from 280W to 325W.
Each of these panel series comes with a 20-year product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty. This ensures customers receive reliable and high-quality solar energy solutions.
The technology behind Rec solar panels
Half-Cut Cells for Higher Efficiency and Resistance to Shading
Rec introduced half-cut cells, now used by many other manufacturers. Half-cut cells offer higher efficiency and are more resistant to shading. Consequently, when shaded, only one-half of the panel is affected; this design reduces resistance and losses by 75%.
Traditional monocrystalline solar panels typically have 60 to 72 cells. Half-cut panels have 120 to 144 cells.
With more cells on the panel and a divided top and bottom, half-cut panels generate energy Compared to other solar panels on the market without half-cut cell technology.
This design is advantageous for homes with tree shade.
REC Alpha Series: High-Performance Heterojunction Cells in a Half-Cut Format
The Alpha series uses high-performance heterojunction cells in a half-cut format, making them some of the most efficient panels available, with the lowest degradation and longest lifespan in the industry.
The N-Type silicone base has a thin layer of amorphous silicon and features 16 micro wire busbars, resulting in a low-temperature coefficient of 26% compared to the average of 38%.
REC Alpha Pure Series: Efficient and Innovative Lead-Free Rec Solar Panels
REC Alpha Pure Series 410W All Black is an efficient and innovative lead-free solar panel, utilising the entire surface of the panel to capture more sunlight, with a sleek design making it a stylish rooftop feature.
N-Peak Series: N-Type Silicone Wafers and PERC Cell Technology
Rec solar panels N-Peak series uses N-type silicone wafers and PERC cell technology. The PERC process improves cell efficiency by using full passivation on the back of the cell to absorb more photons.
TwinPeak 5 Series: Innovative Design for High Efficiency and Power Output
REC’s TwinPeak 5 Series solar panels feature an innovative design with high efficiency and power output, ideal for residential and commercial rooftops worldwide. Despite their affordability, they have a unique “twin” design, enabling them to generate electricity even when partially shaded, resulting in a higher yield from the installation.
TwinPeak Rec solar panels require fewer panels to generate the same power, meaning quicker installation times, fewer components, and reduced costs.
Features and Benefits of REC TwinPeak 5 Panels
- Half-cut mono cells for reduced resistance, higher fill factor, and better shading performance
- PERC for higher efficiency and less heat generated
- More bus bars for lower cell resistance, increased light capture, and improved efficiency and reliability
- 3-part split junction box design for reduced internal panel resistance and cooler panel temperature for increased reliability and greater power output
- Super solid frame design for extra support and durability, allowing loads of up to 7000 Pa
REC Solar Panels with High-Strength Frames
REC solar panels have the highest strength frames with a maximum load bearing of 7000Pa, compared to the industry average of 5400Pa, making them more durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions.
How do Rec Solar Panels benefit you?
- Reduced Energy Bills : Installing Rec solar panels can save homeowners in the UK between £85-£220 per year on their energy bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust.
- Increased Home Value : A survey by the Department of Energy and Climate Change found that Rec solar panels can increase the value of a UK home by an average of 14,000 pounds.
- Environmental Benefits : According to the Solar Trade Association, a typical 4kWp solar panel system in the UK can save up to 1.3 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
- Energy Independence : In the event of a power outage, Rec solar panel owners can continue to generate their electricity and remain independent from the grid. This is especially beneficial during natural disasters or emergencies.
- Earn money with the SEG: The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) a government-backed initiative pays households for excess electricity generated by their solar panels, which can help offset the cost of their energy bills and potentially even earn them money
