The new panel is the first solar panel to combine n-type mono half-cut cells with a twin-panel design and is intended to generate power output of up to 330-watt peak. REC will begin production of n-type mono cells at the end of June in its new manufacturing building in Singapore. The first N-Peak modules are scheduled to appear off the production line in August.
The REC N-Peak Series builds on the success of REC’s multiple award-winning TwinPeak technology. The panel series incorporates REC’s powerful 60-cell module, is the world’s first solar module to combine n-type mono half-cut cells with a twin-panel design and has a super-strong frame design for loads of up to 7000 Pa. It also incorporates zero light-induced degradation and comes with a 12-year product warranty with 0.5 percent annual degradation over a 25-year power warranty.
“The new REC N-Peak writes the next chapter in our company narrative” said REC Group CEO Steve O’Neil, introducing the new module at the company’s booth. “We are taking a big step by leapfrogging into advanced n-mono technology, reinforcing our reputation as an innovator of reliable and efficient solar panels. It is one thing to design high efficiency products on a lab scale, but a totally different one to bring it to mass production. This helps make REC Solar’s Most Trusted.”
In the run-up to the launch, REC whetted appetites for the new release through a global marketing campaign, with creative promotional videos being one of the highlights. Visitors to the REC booth had the opportunity for their first look at the new panel, with experts on hand to explain how it can help create more powerful and efficient installations in a range of scenarios.
