San Luis Obispo, CA, August 20, 2024 – REC Group, an international pioneering solar energy company, is thrilled to present the first panels of the new REC Alpha Pro M Series, running off REC’s production lines in Singapore, which will soon embark on an exciting journey to the United States. Based on REC’s advanced heterojunction cell technology (HJT) and designed specifically for commercial and industrial rooftop solar PV installations in the United States, the new solar panel boasts an impressive power output ranging from 610 to 640 watt-peak (Wp).
The REC Alpha Pro M Series represents REC’s sixth innovation based on its Alpha HJT technology, a testament to the company’s continuous mastery and advancement since 2019. This latest development marks a significant milestone as REC brings its advanced technology and manufacturing excellence to the commercial and industrial market, building on many years of experience in this segment.

With an impressive efficiency of 22.5%, a strong performance warranty of at least 92% in year 25, and a leading temperature coefficient, the REC Alpha Pro M Series offers system owners a better return on investment and long-lasting peace of mind, even in hot climate conditions.
