REC Group launched its brand-new N-Peak high-performance solar panel at Intersolar Europe in Munich. The new panel breaks fresh ground for REC and the industry: this is the first solar panel to combine n-type mono half-cut cells with a twin-panel design, and promises a power output of up to 330 W peak allied to lasting performance. The production of n-type mono cells kicks off at the end of June in REC’s new manufacturing building in Singapore. The first N-Peak modules are scheduled to roll off the line in August.
“The new REC N-Peak writes the next chapter in our company narrative,” said REC Group CEO Steve O’Neil. “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.”
The REC N-Peak Series builds on the success of REC’s multiple award-winning TwinPeak technology. Already recognized by an Intersolar award in 2015, REC is well-known for being a pioneer for half-cut cells and its twin panel design. Key highlights of the new N-Peak include:
- REC’s most powerful 60-cell module
- The world’s first solar module to combine n-type mono half-cut cells with a twin-panel design
- Mono n-type is the most efficient crystalline silicon technology
- Up to 330 Wp
- Super-strong frame design: for loads of up to 7,000 Pa
- Zero light-induced degradation
- 12-year product warranty and 0.5% annual degradation over 25-year power warranty, resulting in 86% of nameplate power after 25 years
- Improved performance in shaded conditions
- Flexible installation options
- Initial field tests carried out by the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) have shown that the new N-Peak offers a distinct energy yield advantage over competitive p-mono products
