About REC

SolarBazaar lists 3 products from REC, concentrated in solar panels. Every listing on this page is drawn from the same catalogue, so the specifications, categories and prices below can be compared directly against any other brand in the directory.

All 3 listings sit in a single category, Solar Panels, so REC is a focused supplier rather than a full-system brand. If you are specifying a complete installation you will be pairing these with equipment from other manufacturers, which makes compatibility checks — voltage, current and communication protocol — worth doing before you commit.

Listed REC prices run from £ 95 to £ 127 (GBP), which reflects the spread between the brand's entry-level units and its largest or most feature-complete models. Prices are indicative and move with supply, import duties and exchange rates — use them to compare brands, not as a quotation.

Across those listings we hold 26 published specifications, including Panels Per 40ft GP/High Cube Container, VOC, Weight (kg), 13.6m Truck Quantity and Connection. Where a manufacturer publishes a figure, it appears on the product page as a field you can compare, rather than being buried in a datasheet.

What REC makes: Solar Panels explained

A solar panel (photovoltaic module) converts sunlight directly into DC electricity, with no moving parts and no fuel.

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.

  • 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
  • module efficiency, typically 19–23% on current products
  • cell technology — mono PERC, N-type TOPCon, HJT, or bifacial

How to choose a solar panel

The guidance below applies to any solar panel, REC's included. Work through it against the specifications listed on this page before you compare prices — a cheaper unit that does not fit your voltages, currents or protocols costs more in the end.

  • 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.
  • Prefer a lower (closer to zero) temperature coefficient in hot climates. Panels lose output as they heat up, and on a 45 °C roof the difference between −0.34 %/°C and −0.29 %/°C is real energy over a year.
  • Read both warranties. The product warranty (typically 12–15 years, up to 25 on premium modules) covers manufacturing defects; the separate performance warranty guarantees output — commonly 87–92% remaining at year 25.
  • 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.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 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.
  • Ignoring certification. IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 are the baseline; without them, warranty claims and grid approvals get complicated.

Buying REC in United Kingdom

Product availability on SolarBazaar is scoped by country, so this page shows the REC range listed for United Kingdom plus any items published globally. Switching country in the header changes both the catalogue and the currency prices are quoted in.

SolarBazaar is a comparison directory rather than a shop: we publish specifications, prices and documentation so you can shortlist equipment, then buy from a local distributor or installer. That matters for warranty — cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports REC in United Kingdom before ordering.

If you are still shortlisting, BP Solar, Eurener, Solarwatt and SoliTek are listed in the same category and can be compared against REC spec by spec.

REC — frequently asked questions

How many REC products are listed on SolarBazaar?

3 products, spread across 1 category: 3 solar panels. The count reflects what is listed for the country you are browsing, so it changes if you switch country.

What does REC make?

REC's listed range is entirely solar panels. A solar panel (photovoltaic module) converts sunlight directly into DC electricity, with no moving parts and no fuel.

How much do REC products cost?

Listed REC products run from £ 95 to £ 127 (GBP), depending on capacity and model. Prices are indicative and change with supply, duties and exchange rates, so treat them as a comparison reference rather than a quotation.

Is REC a good brand?

SolarBazaar does not rank manufacturers editorially — we publish the specifications so you can judge them against your own requirements. For REC, the practical checks are the 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, and whether the warranty is serviceable in United Kingdom. A brand with strong specifications and no local support presence is often the more expensive choice over a system's life.

Where can I buy REC products in United Kingdom?

SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and prices here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer in United Kingdom — that route keeps the manufacturer's warranty intact, which direct grey-market imports usually do not.
