The REC Twin Peak 2 Series uses the Twin Peak technologies, including cells from larger wafers (156.75 millimetres), and five busbars – both firsts for REC products. These are in addition to the power-boosting standard features of REC Twin Peak panels: Half-cut cell technology.
Split junction box spread across the middle of the panel, allowing an innovative panel design. Together, these help due to REC the Twin Peak 2 Series deliver 20 Watt more per panel compared to standard 60-cell multicrystalline panels. Installers, EPCs, investors, and end customers will experience its advantages almost immediately, including lower balance of system costs and higher system yield thanks to its increased power output and improved performance in shaded conditions.
This is the new generation of the ‘60-cell’ Twin Peak Series, which was launched in 2015 and won the Intersolar Award for ‘Photovoltaics’ that same year. The Twin Peak 72 Series, a 72-cell variant with 144 half-cut cells, was launched in August 2016. As with all REC panels, the Twin Peak 2 is 100 percent free from potential induced degradation (PID), REC said. And it’s voiding power losses even in the harshest conditions and environments in terms of high temperatures and humidity.
