Foundations for quality
REC panels are designed to:
– Meet the highest quality standards
– Provide stable power output over the
product’s lifetime
Our solar panels offer a 25 year
performance warranty – they need to
be robust and durable.
There is a wide variance in the
methods of panel production among
competitors and therefore varying
degrees of product quality.
The REC Business System (RBS)
– Governs how we run our business
– Implements systems to achieve our
targets
– Ensures the highest quality inputs make
the highest quality products.
