REC Group Kicks Off Production of High-Efficiency Alpha Pro M HJT solar panels for U.S. Commercial and Industrial Solar Markets


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.

In light of dynamic electricity costs and increasingly stringent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations, such as the SEC climate disclosures in the U.S.A., the new REC Alpha Pro M solar panel empowers businesses and investors to meet their carbon emissions reduction targets more effectively while benefiting from greater energy cost savings. 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.

Key features of the REC Alpha Pro M Series include:

  • Power output ranging from 610 to 640 Wp and up to 22.5% efficiency
  • Leading temperature coefficient of -0.24%/K, ensuring stable energy output even in high-temperature conditions
  • Eligibility for the comprehensive REC ProTrust warranty, guaranteeing reliable long-term performance with a minimum of 92% after 25 years
  • REC’s iconic support bars at the back, enhancing robustness and longevity
  • 120 half-cut bifacial heterojunction cells, representing the most advanced technology platform in the market
  • REC’s renowned Twin Design, optimizing performance under shading conditions
  • 1.2-inch thin frame for convenient transportation, reducing costs and improving logistics efficiency
  • Manufactured in Singapore by an EcoVadis-rated company with the Silver Medal, ensuring sustainable and responsible production practices

 

Cary Hayes, President of REC Americas, emphasized the company’s commitment to high-efficiency technology and sustainable business practices: “For almost 30 years, REC has strived to combine high-efficiency technology with sustainable business practices. While high efficiencies will remain the number one criterion for choosing solar panels, longevity and sustainability should be considered if companies are serious about their environmental and social footprint. By choosing REC, customers can be confident that they are investing in products of a company that prioritizes both performance and sustainability.”

With the launch of the REC Alpha Pro M Series, REC reaffirms its position as a global leader in solar energy solutions, providing businesses and investors with cutting-edge technology that delivers exceptional performance, longevity, and sustainability.
