Overview

The REC Alpha Pure-RX Series build on the successes of previous REC Alpha products in uniting leading cell technology to create a revolutionary, powerful and reliable solar panel that hits the sweet spot in terms of power, weight and size. Module dimensions: 1728 x 1205 x 30 mm Weight: 22.7kg 20 year product warranty (25 years when installed by REC Solar Professional) 25 year linear power output warranty 98% power after year 1 Maximum annual power degradation of 0.25% p.a. Guarantees 92% of power after 25 years - an industry best. 25 year labour warranty (when installed by an REC Solar Professional): gives added protection in case a panel needs to be serviced Made in Singapore Greater yields from dawn to dusk More warranted power after 25 years REC’s consistently low claims rate justifies an outstanding warranty which reflects this leadership and supports their premium product quality. The REC Alpha Pure-RX packs in more energy than ever before. With no LID, a leading temperature coefficient and its high power density, it is ideal for increasing energy yields and making the most of available rooftop space. Maximize system power for maximum savings Leading the way to a more sustainable future. Optimum use of space is key to a good solar installation. The REC Alpha Pure-RX allows you to pack in as much power as possible, generating more energy and more savings on your bills. Delivering high power, stunning aesthetics and minimal environmental impact. The REC Alpha Pure-RX is a revolutionary solar panel achieving incredible levels of efficiency, power and strength. Combined with a black frame and black backsheet the result is a full-black panel ideal for use where aesthetics are highly valued. Features: Heterojunction cells Combines the best of modern cell technology Highly efficient cells for high performance Larger cells capture more light for more energy generation N-type technology = more power No initial power loss (no LID) You get the power you pay for Advanced gapless cell connections Eliminates soldering for better build quality Reduces cell stress for long-term durability Increases power and keeps panel compact Higher light transmission Special anti-reflective glass increases light transmission for higher power Inherently bifacial cells can produce energy from both sides of the panel Guaranteed better durability Withstands up to 7000 Pa Better protection against harsh weather Improved looks Gapless cells for great aesthetics Full black appearance for an elegant look High power density of up to 226 W/m² Generates more clean energy from available rooftop space Higher efficiency at the hottest times Leading temperature coefficient for more production when the sun shines strongest Better performance in hot conditions Low current through 4-section layout Cell layout in 4 sections keeps panel current around 9 A Ensures easy compatibility with modern optimisers and microinverters Improves output under shaded conditions Environmentally-friendly Lead-free (RoHS compliant) Manufacturing with minimal carbon footprint Exceptional quality Made in REC’s state of the art, energy efficient facility in Singapore Highly automated production for improved efficiency and reliability Consistently one of the lowest warranty claims rate in solar Unprecedented savings, more economic security, and greater energy autonomy for consumers

What these specifications mean

REC Alpha Pure-RX Series is listed with 13 published specifications from REC, including connection of Stäubli MC4, VOC of 65.1, ISC of 8.81 and IMPP of 8.29. Those figures are what decide whether this unit fits your system, so read them against the equipment it will connect to before comparing price.

For a solar panel, the figures that matter most are physical dimensions and weight, which decide what fits your roof and mounting, open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc) for string design, rated power in watt-peak (Wp) measured at standard test conditions and module efficiency, typically 19–23% on current products. Panels are the generating half of the system and the part that determines how much energy is available at all. They are also the longest-lived component, routinely still producing over 80% of their original output after 25 years.

Before you buy a solar panel

The checks below apply to any solar panel. Run them against the specification table above — most disappointing solar purchases are compatible-on-paper units that fail one of these in practice.

Check the physical dimensions against your usable roof area before ordering. Modern modules are large, and a layout that works on paper can fail against obstructions, walkways and setback rules.
Consider N-type TOPCon or bifacial modules where space is tight or the mounting is elevated and reflective — bifacial gains of 5–15% are realistic over a light-coloured flat roof or the ground, and close to zero flush against a dark tile roof.
Keep every panel in a string identical in model and rating. Mismatched modules in one string pull the whole string down to the weakest one.
Compare cost per watt rather than price per panel — a higher-wattage module is often cheaper per watt and needs fewer mounting rails, clamps and cable runs.

Where buyers lose money

Buying the highest wattage available without checking the inverter's MPPT voltage window — a string that sits outside the window produces less, or nothing.
Assuming rated power is what you will see. Real-world output at midday is typically 75–85% of the nameplate figure after temperature, soiling, wiring and inverter losses.
Underestimating shade. A single shaded cell can suppress an entire string unless you use module-level optimisers or microinverters.

Price and availability

REC Alpha Pure-RX Series is listed at £ 127 (GBP). Solar pricing moves with supply, import duties and exchange rates, and distributors set their own margins, so treat this as a comparison reference and confirm the current figure before you order.

SolarBazaar compares equipment rather than selling it. Shortlist here on specification and price, then buy from an authorised distributor or installer in your country: warranty cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports REC locally before ordering.

REC Alpha Pure-RX Series — frequently asked questions

How much does REC Alpha Pure-RX Series cost?

REC Alpha Pure-RX Series is listed at £ 127 (GBP). The figure is indicative — solar prices move with supply, duties and exchange rates, and each distributor sets its own margin — so confirm the current price with a supplier before ordering.

What are the specifications of REC Alpha Pure-RX Series?

We hold 13 published specifications for this solar panel, including connection Stäubli MC4, VOC 65.1, ISC 8.81, IMPP 8.29 and height 1728. The full table is on this page, listed under model REC-450AA/PUREBLK-RX.

Who makes REC Alpha Pure-RX Series?

REC Alpha Pure-RX Series is a REC product, listed under solar panels with model reference REC-450AA/PUREBLK-RX. The REC brand page lists the rest of its range so you can compare across the catalogue.

Is REC Alpha Pure-RX Series right for my system?

That depends on what it has to connect to. For a solar panel, check physical dimensions and weight, which decide what fits your roof and mounting, open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc) for string design and rated power in watt-peak (Wp) measured at standard test conditions against the rest of your equipment before price enters the decision. Consider N-type TOPCon or bifacial modules where space is tight or the mounting is elevated and reflective — bifacial gains of 5–15% are realistic over a light-coloured flat roof or the ground, and close to zero flush against a dark tile roof.

Where can I buy REC Alpha Pure-RX Series?

SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and price here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer — buying in-channel is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.
