REC Solar

Founded in Norway in 1996, REC Group is a leading vertically integrated solar energy company. Through integrated manufacturing from silicon to wafers, cells, high-quality panels and extending to solar solutions, REC Group provides the world with a reliable source of clean energy. REC?s renowned product quality is supported by the lowest warranty claims rate in the industry. REC Group is a Bluestar Elkem company with headquarters in Norway and operational headquarters in Singapore. REC Group employs more than 2,000 people worldwide, producing 1.4 GW of solar panels annually.

Based upon a multicrystalline cell platform, the new REC TwinPeak Series encompasses a number of new and innovative technologies that provide performance comparable to monocrystalline p-type and n-type modules.

Most visibly, these modules use half-cut cells with 60 or 72 cells on each side of the module wired in parallel. This keeps the voltage similar to 60-cell or 72-cell modules, while improving shade tolerance and reducing energy loss due to cell resistance.

The cells themselves feature state-of-the-art Passivated Emitter Rear Cell (PERC), aka backside passivation technology that improves the light capture of the cell, resulting in improved energy harvest in real-world conditions.

The modules are equipped with a novel split junction box that places the PV wire cables with MC4 connectors near each side of the module, to better dissipate heat. The PV wire output cables are long enough to enable landscape array layouts.
