Our Favourite Solar Panels?
Some of the most frequently asked questions posed by our customers are, “What are your favourite panels?” and “What panels are the best?” We get it – choosing the right panels for your installation can be a tough decision. With so many modules from hundreds of brands on the market, it's good to get the opinion of a professional about which panels are right for your situation.
If we had to choose one, it would be the latest generation REC Alpha Pure-R’s. With REC's foundation of award-winning innovation and reputation for quality, the Singaporean-made Pure-R panels are designed to “empower you to take full advantage of solar energy”. We truly believe in the quality of REC products, so much so that we became a REC Certified Installer. The Pure-R's are an exceptional panel. Let's take a look at what sets them apart.
The REC Alpha Pure-R employs Heterojunction technology, which combines two different technologies into one cell, increasing its efficiency and power output. The innovative gapless cell layout used in the Alpha Pure Series increases the active area of the panel, allowing it to capture more sunlight. This means that the Alpha Pure Series can produce approximately 16% more power compared to conventional panels.
Building on the proven success of REC's twin design, the Pure-R takes the concept one step further. By dividing the panel into four sections, it can produce even more energy under shaded conditions! In addition, the Pure-R panels perform exceptionally well in hot conditions, with a low temperature coefficient that allows them to produce more energy as the temperature rises, making them perfect for Australia's hot summers.
The design of the Pure-R places durability at the forefront. The panels come equipped with support bars that protect the cells and glass from bending under load, increasing their resilience in harsh weather conditions. Despite being packed with power, these compact panels are easier to handle and transport, provide greater savings, and accelerate return on investment while maintaining high performance levels throughout their lifetime.
To top off their world-class functionality, the Pure-R's boast an elegant full black design. With thin and discreet wires and uniformly black cells, they look super sleek on any roof.
The REC Alpha Pure-R is made lead-free and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant as REC commits to environmentally-friendly manufacturing and drastically reducing their carbon footprint. REC are a global leader in terms of sustainability and ethical procedures, so if this is of importance to you this is definitely the panel for you!
Since Eco Sparky is a REC Certified Installer, our customers (<25kW) are entitled to a FULL 25 YEAR PROTRUST WARRANTY on product, performance and labour. This means you are covered in case of any panel defects, performance issues AND any associated labour involved in this.
The Alpha Pure-R's have an impressive 92% nameplate warranty in year 25, which is one of the best in the industry. While the best warranty is one that customers never need to call on, REC products come close to this utopia, boasting a very low claims rate. From more than 4 million REC panels manufactured each year, less than 400 are returned from the field as defective. REC's warranty offering reflects this premium quality:
Installing the Alpha Pure-Rs is always a treat for us! To discover the amazing benefits these panels could bring to your home or business.
