Howdy folks! Our team at North Texas Solar is very excited to tell you all about the seriously sturdy, brand new REC Alpha Pure Series solar panels we’re now installing for homes across Texas. With over 15 years experience as a master solar team, we’re thoroughly impressed by the rugged durability and unrelenting high performance these REC solar modules deliver. So with that being said, let’s dive into the specs and why these panels likely make sense for your home!
Advanced Heterojunction Solar Cell Technology
REC utilizes advanced heterojunction cell technology for superior temperature resilience and power output. The solder-free cell connections and gapless cell layout considerably boost efficiency and energy production from the same compact panel size. Output reaches up to an impressive 470 watts from a single module! But what really makes the Alpha Series stand out is the robust product design and construction engineered for long-term reliability even in harsh environments like we see here in Texas. These panels are built to withstand the elements and keep producing clean power for decades.
A Closer Look At Why REC Alpha Panels Are Built So Tough
The anodized aluminum frame on the REC Alpha Pure Panels feature reinforced support bars that enable each module to handle snow and wind loads up to 7,000 Pa – among the highest load tolerances in the solar industry. This rigid underlying structure prevents the flexing that could otherwise crack cells or connections over time. The 30mm frame height also makes installing and handling the REC panels noticeably easier for our team. This optimized, modern design allows more modules per pallet for transport efficiency too. Sleek but sturdy!
REC also pioneered the award-winning Twin panel concept, intelligently dividing cells into separate sections to minimize shading losses. The Alpha Pure-R and Pure-RX models take it further with four split sections to maintain higher energy flow when partially shaded. The solder-free cell connections eliminate a common point of failure and cracks for enduring performance at high outputs. REC’s gapless cell layout further boosts density and sunlight capture area for more clean energy from every module.
These panels are built seriously tough–the most durable we’ve seen–but they are equally impressive when it comes to power output efficiency and capability.
An Unbeatable Warranty Package
Beyond the smart construction and materials, REC panels are backed by an ironclad 25-year warranty package for complete peace of mind. Their Peak Energy Warranty ensures at least 92% of original power generation in year 25–an industry best.
As your local solar experts, the North Texas Solar team believes in using only the highest quality components for every installation. We’re proud to offer REC’s Alpha Series, purpose-built for maximum durability and resilient performance in Texas weather for decades on end.
In fact, the REC Alpha Series is so durable that in 30 years, you should be still producing 92% of the out-of-box production! For comparison, most tier 1 panels will drop to 82-85% over 2-3 decades. Tier 2 panels lose even more production, sometimes up to 25% of total power capabilities over 30 years.
The unmatched 25-year warranty coverage gives you assurance that your rooftop investment will keep generating maximum savings over the long run. No flimsy panels here, just premium products engineered solar-tough to last.
