26.05.2021 - Double the power: REC Alpha Pure and TwinPeak 4

Good news come in twos: With the brand-new Alpha Pure modules and the next generation of the popular TwinPeak line manufacturer REC launches not one but two attractive PV solutions, suitiable for residential and commercial rooftops alike. Alpha Pure is based on the award-winning Alpha technology platform with heterojunction half-cells, but with notable improvements in performance, sustainability, and design. The TwinPeak line presents itself in its fourth iteration with a newly modelled cell structure and even more durability.

Alpha Pure: Performance, efficiency & look re-defined

REC Alpha Pure Black

  • “Gapless” cell layout: Eliminates gaps between the 132 half-cells, resulting in higher output density and utilising the entire module. In combination with a black backsheet this results in a uniform black appearance producing up to 219 Watt per sqm and up to 405 Wp at 21.9 % efficiency.
  • Heterojunction cells: The best of both worlds from crystalline and thin-film technologies in one hybrid structure. Crystalline n-type cells provide extra protection against light-induced degradation (LID).
  • 100 % lead-free: The REC Alpha Pure is completely lead-free including cell connections, cross connectors and junction box soldering. This means it’s RoHS compliant, even though these regulations don’t directly apply to PV modules. No lead also means an easier recycling job at the end of the lifecycle.
  • Leading temperature coefficient: For better performance in hot climates.

TwinPeak 4: Lots of power for cost-conscious customers

REC TwinPeak 4

  • More per module: With a maximum nominal power of up to 375 Wp the 120 monocrystalline half-cells of the Series 4 reach an even higher performance standard than their predecessors.
  • More design options: In addition to a black frame with a white backsheet, an all-black variant is also available.
  • More resilience: TwinPeak 4 modules can support loads of up to 7,000 Pa, which in combination with their tried-and-true 30 mm frame and support bars from the Alpha- and N-Peak-Series results in a great boost to strength and durability. There’s a reason Alpha Pure modules use the same technology.
