REC Group Celebrates True First-Movers for Highly Innovative Solar PV Technology


Munich, Germany, August 2, 2024 REC Group, an international pioneering solar energy company, is proud to celebrate the top ‘REC Alpha Pure-RX First-Movers’ who are embracing highly innovative solar PV technology. As climate change risks continue to rise and governments worldwide tighten sustainability regulations, homeowners and businesses are increasingly cautious about choosing more sustainable solutions. REC Group recognizes that innovative and high-efficiency solar PV technology is key to cutting emissions and accelerating power independence.

Innovative REC certified solar professionals worldwide have been embracing REC’s highest power rooftop solar panel ever, the REC Alpha Pure-RX. With up to 470 watt-peak in a compact format, REC continues to enable customers to maximize the output of rooftop installations. Based on REC’s advanced Alpha heterojunction cell technology (HJT), REC’s Alpha panels combine the benefits of monocrystalline and thin-film technologies. By harnessing the power of sunlight more efficiently, these solar panels maximize energy production. At the same time, due to its low temperature manufacturing process, REC has been able to further reduce its own energy consumption. By choosing REC, customers are not only reducing their carbon footprint but also investing in a brighter and more sustainable future.

Championing Sustainable Innovations Together

Matthew Summerville, CEO at RenewCo in Australia, highlighted the comprehensive excellence of the Alpha Pure-RX panels: “REC delivers excellence with their Alpha Pure RX all-black panels, top performance, superior quality, and outstanding aftersales support.”

Derrick Hoffman, Owner & Master Electrician at HESOLAR in Texas, expressed his excitement about the new technology: “HESOLAR has always had a preference for premium equipment and we’re very excited about the new REC Alpha Pure-RX solar module. With an efficiency over 22% and a -0.24 %/°K temperature coefficient, the new REC Alpha Pure-RX is the most stacked solar module we’ve ever used!”

Emphasizing the panel’s efficiency and design, Oren Tamir, Founder & CEO at NRG Clean Power in California, states “At NRG Clean Power, we prioritize efficiency and aesthetics, which is why we choose the Alpha Pure-RX solar panels. These panels maximize energy production even on limited roof spaces, ensuring optimal utilization of resources. Their sleek design only enhances the appeal of any property while also bolstering our commitment to cutting-edge renewable energy solutions.”

“Since 2011, we have installed tens of thousands of REC solar panels, and they have never let us down. Quality lasts! We choose REC due to their reliability and performance. REC costs a bit more, but quality lasts. We choose REC because we don’t like problems,” Dan Spence, General Manager at Solarwide in Australia, praised the durability and consistent performance of REC panels.

André Santos from the Energy Department at ERI Engenharia S.A. in Portugal, emphasized on the company’s commitment for a more sustainable future: “We are delighted to announce that we are the first company in the country of Portugal to use REC Alpha Pure-RX solar panels.
