REC Group starts production of Alpha Pure-R HJT modules

REC Group has announced the start of production of its latest solar panel, the REC Alpha Pure-R.

Unveiled in May 2022 at Intersolar Europe, the REC Alpha Pure-R solar panel went into production on new manufacturing lines at REC’s Singapore facility. The Alpha Pure-R will double REC’s Alpha HJT capacity in Singapore from 600 MW to 1.2 GW, which underscores REC’s commitment to the future of this technology.

“We made a bold move in 2019 by introducing REC Alpha as our first HJT product, in 2021 by launching the lead-free and RoHS compliant Alpha Pure, and now we are changing the game again. With the REC Alpha Pure-R, we are bringing another 600 MW of a lead-free HJT product to the market but based on larger G12 cells in a compact panel format for residential installations,” said Jan Enno Bicker, CEO at REC Group.

The REC Alpha Pure-R features HJT cells in the large G12 format in a patented panel design. It delivers power output of up to 430 Wp, while keeping the module under 21 sq. ft in area — and shows that G12 can also work well for residential rooftop installations where space is limited. Like REC’s previous model, the REC Alpha Pure, the Alpha Pure-R is lead-free and RoHS compliant. The low temperature coefficient keeps the solar panel running efficiently even on hotter days. Also new: the panel is divided into four strings, which reduces the size of sections that switch off under shaded conditions. As a result, the panel can generate even more energy when partially shaded. Like the other REC solar panels, the REC Alpha Pure-R is eligible for REC’s comprehensive ProTrust warranty, offering consumers up to 25 years’ peace of mind for product, performance and labor, subject to conditions.
