Why Choose REC Alphα® Pure Black Series Panels for Your Home?
The REC REC Alphα® Pure Black Series panels use innovative new technologies to provide higher power density in the same amount of space as other panels. The increased durability of this frame design allows for a longer lifetime of your panels under stress. Plus, added support bars protect your panel cells and glass from bending under heavy pressure. Lead-free panel components, which are RoHS compliant, improve environmental impact - ensuring they will not have toxic leakage of lead into the environment further down the line.
Heterojunction (HJT) Cell Technology
REC Alphα® panels use 132 half-cut REC heterojunction cells with lead-free, gapless technology composed of 6 strings of 22 cells. No LID (Light Induced Degradation) means no loss in performance when your panels are first exposed to sunlight, so you get the power you signed up for. These high power density panels generate around 16% more power in the same amount of space as conventional panels.
REC Systems Advanced Cell Connection Technology
The REC Alphα® panels have improved cell connections with an increased number of wires which greatly boosts the flow of electrical current. These panels don’t use invasive soldering which reduces the risk of microcracks and cell damage to increase the panel’s longevity and performance.
Gapless Cell Layout
A gapless cell layout increases the active area where energy is absorbed from the sun - giving you more efficiency in the same amount of space. This boosts the panel power to reach 430 Wp and increases power density to 223 watts/m² to get the most out of the panel area.
FORME SOLAR
Certified REC Solar System Install Process
The REC solar system installation process varies depending on your home, permitting requirements, and homeowner association rules. The completion time can range from just a few weeks to several months depending on the size of the project, panel upgrade or a battery, and the permits required to set up your new solar system.
As a Certified REC Solar installer, a Forme Solar project manager will guide you through the REC solar system installation process every step of the way. They will even help you to obtain the proper permits and deal with your utility company – making your experience as easy and seamless as possible.
REC Solar System Cost
REC solar panel systems cost just a few thousand dollars for a simple power supply backup or supplemental energy in case something happens to your city power supply. For an off-grid, whole-home system that completely powers all your home’s electric needs, units range around $35,000. Pricing depends on the type, model, and state you live in. Sunnier states typically have better incentive programs in place. It’s essential to know the overall startup costs for a REC solar panel system so you can budget accordingly.

REC Solar Panel FAQs
Half-cell modules are just what they sound like, they’re cells that have been cut in half to improve the panel's performance and increase its durability, making them more reliable than traditional panels. For instance, 60-cell panels will have 120 half-cut cells. When cells are cut in half the electrical current is also halved. This means that resistive losses are decreased and the cells have a higher output rating. Smaller cells have less mechanical stress making them more durable and more resistant to cracking.
REC solar panels can potentially increase your home’s value compared to similar homes with no solar panels. Solar panels help reduce monthly electricity bills and are an enticing feature to homebuyers over properties that solely depend on electricity from the grid.
The REC solar system installation process depends on your location, permitting requirements, and homeowner association rules. The completion time can range from just a few weeks to several months depending on the size of the project and the permits required to set up your new solar system.
When purchasing a REC solar panel system, you have several options: an upfront cash payment, a solar loan, and other financing types as well. You can choose whichever option makes the most sense for your situation.
