What is REC’s Combined Cycle Test?
REC panels are subjected to
a series of multiple cycle
accelerated tests.
Even with this, our panels
still perform far in excess of
expectations.
On top of standard accelerated tests, REC’s internal quality protocol requires panels
to pass a ‘Combined Cycle Test’ at IEC criteria to further ensure product reliability.
