The panels are rated up to 295 Wp and uses evolving technologies including cells from larger wafers and five busbars in addition to existing REC power-boosting features, such as half-cut cell technology, PERC and a split junction box across the middle of the panel. According to REC, these features help the panels to deliver at least 20 Wp more per panel compared to standard 60-cell multicrystalline panels. The advantages include lower balance of system costs and higher system yields thanks to increased output and improved performance in shaded conditions.
“With a nominal power of up to 295 Wp, the REC TwinPeak 2 further showcases REC’s ability to push the boundaries of the muticrystalline platform and reach panel powers which many industry experts thought impossible with this technology for a 60-cell-size product” said Cemil Seber, Vice President, Global Marketing and Product Management at REC. “In an industry where high power output, strong product quality, and company reliability are key purchasing factors, REC and its growing product lineup – now including the REC TwinPeak 2 – is leading the way.”
The TwinPeak 2 Series is the new generation of the ‘60-cell’ REC TwinPeak Series, which was launched in 2015, winning the Intersolar Award for ‘Photovoltaics’ that same year. The REC TwinPeak 72 Series, a 72-cell variant with 144 half-cut cells, was launched in August 2016.
REC state that, as with all their REC panels, the REC TwinPeak 2 is 100 percent free from potential induced degradation (PID), which helps the panels to avoid power losses even in the harshest conditions and environments in terms of high temperatures and humidity.
