REC Group, a solar energy company headquartered in Norway, launched its solar panel at Intersolar Europe 2022.
REC’s product delivers power output of up to 430 Wp, while keeping the module under two square meter in area, which is ideal for residential installations where space is limited.
REC Alpha Pure-R is scheduled to start production in August 2022 at REC’s production lines in Singapore, doubling REC’s Alpha product line capacity from 600 MW to 1.2 GW.
The G12 wafers and cells are bigger at 210 x 210 mm.
Jan Enno Bicker, CEO at REC Group, said: “REC Alpha Pure-R really hits the sweet spot in terms of its size, weight, power output and handling. With the new panel, we have managed again to pack more power into a compact panel size, enabling homeowners to be more energy independent.”
REC Alpha Pure-R comes with a 9-amp current, making it compatible with various modern MLPE devices, which gives installers more system design options to maximize power for homeowners.
The four-part junction box divides the panel into four strings and reduces the size of sections that switch off under shaded conditions. The panel can generate even more energy when partially shaded.
The new REC Alpha Pure-R reaches 430 Wp in a compact panel size of 1.93 m², and comes with a leading power density of 223 W/m2 and can be easily handled by installers. The new panel features 80 half-cut HJT cells in a gapless cell layout. This makes it possible to maximize the power generating area of the panel.
