The the 60-cell TwinPeak 2 Mono panel will utilise p-type monocrystalline PERC cells, rated up to 320 Wp, and the 72-cell TwinPeak 2S Mono 72 up to 380 Wp. The new panels bring heightened efficiency to REC’s portfolio and will be the company’s first products to come with a new, extended warranty. The new mono products offer increased power output per square meter and improved performance in shaded conditions. The REC TwinPeak 2 Mono is ideal for residential and small commercial rooftop installations where high power is required in limited space, while the larger, but at 22 kg still lightweight, REC TwinPeak 2S Mono 72 enables large commercial and utility installations to benefit from the lower balance of system costs inherent in this format.
Order volumes for the new panels are already buoyant, early evidence of the clear product benefits and REC’s continued position as a leader for half-cut PERC cell technology. REC Group was the first manufacturer to introduce half-cut cell solar panels to mass production in 2014. To date, more than 2 GW of REC TwinPeak solar panels with half-cut cells have been installed around the globe.
“For two decades, REC Group has been continuously pushing the boundaries of solar cell technology” said Steve O’Neil, CEO at REC Group. “With the launch of TwinPeak in 2014, we were the first to commercialise half-cut cell technology. Following on from the launch of the N-Peak earlier this year, we are now transferring our years of expertise into mono-PERC products”.
The new products come just four months after REC began production of its brand-new N-Peak Series – the world’s first n-type mono solar panel with half-cut cells and twin design. As with the N-Peak, the new mono products are manufactured at REC’s production site in Singapore.
