REC Peak Energy 225watt 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 REC225PE 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.
UPDATE: REC Peak Energy solar panels have excelled in potential-induced degradation (PID) resistance testing (designed to damage panels).
