REC Alpha series 60-cell solar panel

The REC Alpha Series 60-cell solar panel is designed to reach 380 W-peak power and deliver over 20% more power from the same area and the same number of panels.

Now available in Australia, the panels are built around 120 half-cut heterojunction cells (HJT) and advanced connection technology, designed by engineering experts from Germany and Singapore. With HJT, REC combines the benefits of crystalline silicon solar cells with those of thin film technologies for higher efficiency and energy yield, even at higher temperatures.

With a strong frame, the panels can provide protection against extreme weather events, reducing the chance of cell damage and ensuring continued high-power performance. The panel is suitable for both cold and hot climates, thanks to a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C.

The Alpha Black version provides design aesthetics and a premium look to the solar panels thanks to its sleek black colouring, and is fitted with near-invisible cell connections.

Other features include: two versions available: with white backsheet (up to 380 Wp) and as a full-black panel for good aesthetics (up to 375 Wp); twin panel design provides performance in shaded conditions; half-cut cell technology; high-efficiency n-type mono wafers between thin layers of amorphous silicon; 30 mm thin frame construction allows more panels per pallet and an easy installation.

The panels are also backed by REC’s 25-year product warranty (on installations by REC Solar professional, otherwise 20 years) and a 25-year power output warranty, guaranteeing 92% of nameplate power after 25 years.
