132 half-cut n-type cells, black with silver support bars, 1899 × 1040 mm (74.8 × 40.9 in), 48.0 lb. REC still publishes it for the US, but it is not in REC's current US lineup.
First-generation Alpha Pure, N-Peak 2 and TwinPeak 4 panels that CSE still lists. Their datasheets are no longer published by REC, so we show model names and power only.
How REC describes the construction of its Alpha panels, with values from the U.S. datasheets.
All current REC Alpha models use REC heterojunction cells. REC's datasheets list a Pmax temperature coefficient of −0.24 %/°C.
REC Alpha panels use half-cut cells. REC describes the Pure-RX as split into four sections to help with partial shade.
REC describes its Advanced Module Interconnection (AMI) as a solder-free foil-and-wire cell connection.
REC Alpha Pure-RX is tested to +7000 / −4000 Pa with four-point clamping, per its datasheet.
Technology descriptions are REC's own; values are from REC's U.S. datasheets.
REC Alpha Pro M is REC's commercial HJT module: 640 W, 1500 V, white backsheet and silver frame. CSE supplies REC panels by the pallet and for projects, with freight confirmed for your delivery ZIP.
Alpha Pure-RX, Pure-R and Pure 2 are all-black residential modules rated for 1000 V systems.
The 88-cell Alpha Pure-RX reaches 450 to 470 W in a 68.0 × 47.4 in module, per REC's datasheet.
Alpha Pro M is REC's commercial module: 640 W, rated for 1500 V systems, UL 61730 Fire Type 1.
REC ProTrust coverage is available only when an REC Certified Solar Professional installs and registers the panels.

REC's current North America lineup is the REC Alpha family: Alpha Pure-RX (450 to 470 W), Alpha Pure-R (400 to 430 W), Alpha Pure 2 (400 to 430 W) and the commercial Alpha Pro M. Earlier models such as the first-generation Alpha Pure, N-Peak 2 and TwinPeak 4 are no longer in REC's US lineup.
Heterojunction cells combine crystalline silicon with thin amorphous silicon layers. All current REC Alpha models use REC heterojunction cells, and REC's datasheets list a Pmax temperature coefficient of −0.24 %/°C for them.
All three are all-black residential HJT panels. Pure-RX has 88 half-cut cells in a 68.0 × 47.4 in format (450 to 470 W). Pure-R has 80 half-cut cells in a 68.1 × 44.0 in format. Pure 2 has 132 half-cut cells in a 73.4 × 40.9 in format.
No. The REC Alpha Pro M uses bifacial HJT cells, but it is built with a white backsheet, so the module itself is not bifacial. REC sells bifacial glass-glass versions separately.
In the Americas, REC Alpha panels carry a 20-year product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty of at least 92 % power at year 25 (REC warranty Rev 8). REC ProTrust adds longer coverage, including labor, only when the panels are installed and registered by an REC Certified Solar Professional.
The datasheets for the REC models CSE lists state Made in Singapore. REC was founded in Norway in 1996 and became part of Reliance Industries in 2021.
