The Alpha Series delivers industry-beating power of up to 380 watt-peak (Wp), making this the world’s most powerful 60-cell solar panel. The first orders – with a total volume of 4.3 MW – come from all over the world, from Australia, over Europe up to Hawaii in the U.S.
Launched officially by REC Group CEO Steve O’Neil and CTO Shankar G. Sridhara at Intersolar Europe on May 15, the new panel captured a sizeable order volume of 4.3 MW within its first hours. Steve O’Neil is proud of this early success: “With the Alpha, REC set out to build a solar panel that would create a triple win opportunity: for REC, our partners and solar professionals as well as for households and businesses who want to create a legacy of sustainable energy for the next generation. With orders so soon after the launch, the new panel is on track to meet these objectives.”
The Alpha delivers the world’s best power density on a 60-cell module: over 20% more power from the same area and the same number of panels compared to a mainstream 300 Wp panel. This is a key consideration when space is tight – like on any rooftop.
The first takers of the Alpha solar panels did not need long to decide. They all put their signature to a special edition of the REC Alpha panel at Intersolar Europe – marking the kick-off to what promises to be a successful career for the latest ground-breaking innovation from REC Group.
