REC Group has announced the arrival in Australia of its best solar panel, the REC Alpha Pure-R. The first panels are going to the first movers and will debut at the All-Energy Australia event on 26-27 October 2022.

The REC Alpha Pure-R solar panel went into production last month on new manufacturing lines at REC’s Singapore facility. The Alpha Pure-R will double REC’s Alpha HJT capacity in Singapore, from 600 MW to 1.2 GW, which underscores REC’s commitment to the future of this technology.

Featuring HJT cells in the sizeable G12 format in a patented panel design, the REC Alpha Pure-R delivers a power output of up to 430Wp, while keeping the module under two square meters in area – and shows that G12 can also work well for residential and commercial rooftop installations where space is limited.

Like REC’s previous innovation and 2022 Intersolar Award winner, REC Alpha Pure, the Alpha Pure-R is lead-free and RoHS compliant, strengthening REC’s reputation as a company that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously.

The low-temperature coefficient keeps the solar panel running efficiently even on hotter days. Also new, the panel is divided into four strings, which reduces the size of sections that switch off under shaded conditions.

As a result, the panel can generate even more energy when partially shaded. Like the other REC solar panels, the REC Alpha Pure-R is eligible for REC’s comprehensive ProTrust warranty, offering consumers up to 25 years peace of mind for product, performance and labour, subject to conditions.

“We made a bold move in 2019 by introducing REC Alpha as our first HJT product, in 2021 by launching the lead-free and RoHS compliant Alpha Pure, and now we are changing the game again. With the REC Alpha Pure-R, we are bringing another 600 MW of a lead-free HJT product to the market but based on larger G12 cells in a compact panel format for residential installations,” REC Group chief executive Jan Enno Bicker says.

“The many pre-production orders confirm that our customers fully trust REC’s innovations and our newest product hits the demand well. Now that production is underway, customers worldwide can access the power, space and environmental advantages of this new solar panel for their installations.”
