Elite

REC Group is a Norwegian company with manufacturing facilities in Singapore. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries, Ltd, the largest public company in India by market cap.

The brand produces some of the most efficient solar panels on the market. It is well-known for the high-performance heterojunction (HJT) solar technology used in its Alpha Pure series panels. REC's current lineup of products tops out at 22.6% efficiency and offers excellent high-temperature performance. The company's solar panels have been recognized as Top Performers by PV Evolution Labs (PVEL) for eight years running.

REC offers an excellent ProTrust Warranty, with 25-year coverage against product defects and power output when its products are installed by REC Certified Solar Professionals, including coverage for labor costs. When not installed by those professionals, the product warranty drops to 20 years, and there is no labor coverage, but the power production warranty remains the same. With the backing of such a large corporation behind it, we feel that REC's warranty is among the best in the industry.

Like any premium product, REC solar panels tend to command a premium price, and solar installers sometimes offer them alongside other brands as an upgrade option. Despite the high cost, the company's products are well-liked. REC is the second most popular product among installers, according to our industry surveys, and the brand enjoys the fifth highest market share of any solar panel manufacturer in the U.S. residential market.

For 2024, REC Group earned seventh place in the annual SolarReviews Top 10 Solar Panel Brands ranking, due to its excellent product quality, warranty, and the strength of its dealer network. We'd like a little more visibility into the company's financial performance (Reliance doesn't publish separate numbers for REC Group) and to see the company invest in stateside manufacturing. Still, the fact remains that REC is one of the world's top solar panel manufacturers, and customers can feel confident choosing products from the brand.

High output panels with Half Cell technology

The Half Cell technology maximizes output in the shade, to the point that I put out more power on a windy day than when the shading is static. These panels barely lose any efficiency in the long term and come with a 25 year warranty. The miniscule output degradation makes buying these high quality panels an easy choice.
