REC Group Unveils the Alpha Series at Intersolar Europe - The World's Highest Power 60-cell Solar Panel

Emerging from REC's leadership in half-cut cell technology, the Alpha is 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 much higher efficiency and energy yield, even at higher temperatures. The Alpha features also REC's pioneering and award-winning 'Twin Panel' design for better performance in shaded conditions and REC's unique thin frame design which allows the Alpha to withstand snow loads of 7000Pa.

The Alpha delivers the world's best power density on a 60-cell module, a key consideration when space is tight – like on any rooftop. With the REC Alpha Series, customers will get over 20 percent more power from the same area and the same number of panels – or, put other way, the same energy output from less space. This reduces the Balance of System (BoS) costs.
