REC Peak Energy 215watt Grid Connect Solar Panel

  

Award-winning REC Peak Energy (PE)-Series solar panels are an excellent choice for building solar systems. Offering robust quality with reliable power output, REC Solar combines stringent design and manufacturing standards to produce high-performance solar panels with uncompromising quality.

   

A popular choice in Europe and nominee for the coveted 2010 Intersolar Photovoltaics Award, REC Group's REC215PE solar panels are destined to become a common feature on rooftops throughout Australia!

   

REC solar panels were also recognised as the top rated panel in a 2011 Photon Magazine efficiency test and won the Solar Industry Award for Module Innovation, presented by Solar PV Management Magazine, in August 2010. A year long performance ratio test in 2009 performed by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute placed REC solar panels ahead of two leading Chinese and European brands.

REC Peak Energy solar panels have also undergone potential-induced degradation (PID) resistance testing (designed to damage modules) - and survived the ordeal well!

   

Highlights of the REC Peak Energy 215watt Grid Connect Solar Panel include:

 

  • A whopping 13% conversion efficiency
  • 3 strings of 20 polycrystalline cells - 3 by-pass diodes
  • High-transparency tempered glass with antireflection surface treatment by Sunarc Technology
  • Radox 4mm2 cables and connectors
  • Energy payback of just 1 year
  • Three bus bars
  • Superior contact between the cell and metal fingers, boosting electrical flow.
  • IEC61730-2 fire rating test compliant
