Solar-PV panel has greater output

Renewable Energy Corporation, solar PV, photo voltaic

Renewable Energy Corporation has launched a series of multi-crystalline solar-PV panels with backside passivation technology. The new Peak Energy Plus Series delivers another 5 W compared to the earlier-generation product. The module has a nominal power output in watt classes ranging from 240 Wp to 255 Wp, with higher-watt classes available in the future. Backside passivation technology improves performance by enhancing the solar cell’s response to red light.

More power is delivered throughout the day, including early and late hours, and in hazy conditions. The 2011 Photon Field Performance Test showed that REC modules produce 6% more power than the test average, and the latest modules produce even more power.
