Technical Data Sheet: Performance analysis and hardware configuration for rec-alpha-pure.

Key Features of REC Alpha Pure Panels

It's a dual glass product, which means it is bifacial. So, you can see on the backside, we have uh very high bi- bifaciality. Now, if you'll notice, one of the things that is typical about an REC is we usually have the back support bars. We have removed those back support bars to increase the bifacial gain on the backside of the cell. So, we'll go back over to the front of the cell. We've got or the front of the product, again, coming at a 480 W. Dual glass. Now, one of the things that is good about a glass-glass product is that you can extend your power warranty. So, now this comes with a 30-year warranty because of the glass backsheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of the REC Alpha Pure's dual glass design?

The dual glass design makes the REC Alpha Pure product bifacial, which allows for very high bifaciality and enables power generation from both the front and back sides of the panel.

How does the REC Alpha Pure achieve increased bifacial gain?

REC has specifically removed the typical back support bars, a common feature in many of their products, in the REC Alpha Pure to increase the bifacial gain on the backside of the cell.

What kind of warranty does the REC Alpha Pure come with, and why?

The REC Alpha Pure comes with an extended 30-year power warranty. This extended warranty is a direct benefit of its robust glass-glass product design, specifically due to the durable glass backsheet.
