Product quality beyond expectations
REC's internal testing is up to three times as stringent as industry standards – meaning that when we send out our panels for certification or testing, we know they will pass. But beyond attaining a certification, we want our panels to be reliable for the lifetime of the product and perform strongly in even the most extreme environments.
Hail test
Load test
REC products and production processes are also certified and endorsed by independent third parties according to multiple global and regional industry standards, solidifying the fact that REC panels meet the highest quality standards required for a long-lasting product. REC panels have also been recently recognized as a Top Performer in the DNV-GL Module Reliability Scorecard, proving their market-leading quality.
This high level of quality means REC panels are also leaders in avoiding power loss due to degradation (LID, PID). By choosing a quality REC panel with quality materials, you can be sure to generate more power and thus earn/save more money thanks to reduced degradation.
The stringent internal processes used by REC, such as RBS (REC Business System) and RPDM (REC Product Development Model), are rigidly followed to ensure that all our panels consistently have the highest quality, wherever they are installed. This repeatable high quality is synonymous with the REC brand.
Very low claims rate
The reliability and quality of our panels are evidenced by our claims rate – out of 4 million panels manufactured each year, just 400 might come back as product claims. REC‘s warranties reflect this strength, further supporting REC’s premium quality. And in the unlikely event of a product claim, we have proven processes in place that ensure smooth, streamlined, and hassle-free handling of them.
Every REC panel undergoes a detailed inspection before leaving its production site

Öffentliche Anhörung zum Frankreich-Projekt der REC Group: Ein erster wichtiger Schritt zu einer finalen Entscheidung
Die vorläufige Anhörung steht voll und ganz im Einklang mit dem obligatorischen französischen Regulierungsverfahren, welches die Offenlegung von Informationen und eine mögliche Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit im Vorfeld von umweltrelevanten Entscheidungen umfasst. Der gesamte Prozess und alle Entscheidungen bezüglich der geplanten Anlage werden daher voll und ganz den nationalen und lokalen Umweltstandards entsprechen. REC Group begrüßt den Dialog mit den Anwohnern und den regionalen Interessenvertretern und ist überzeugt, dass dieser in hohem Maße zu einer beidseitig vorteilhaften und umweltgerechten Projektgestaltung beitragen wird.
"Für uns bei REC ist es wichtig, den Begriff ‚vorläufig‘ in Bezug auf dieses Projekt zu betonen. In Anbetracht der Größe des Projektes sowie der Investition, wurden bereits viele Studien und Evaluierungen durchgeführt. Dennoch müssen noch einige wichtige Schritte unternommen werden, bevor eine endgültige Entscheidung getroffen werden kann - dazu gehören strategische Überlegungen ebenso wie die behördliche Genehmigung", sagt Cemil Seber, Geschäftsführer der REC Solar EMEA GmbH.
Das geplante Projekt ist in zwei Phasen unterteilt. Mit dem Abschluss der zweiten Phase im Jahr 2025 will REC Group eine jährliche Produktionskapazität von 9 Millionen REC Hochleistungs-Solarmodulen erreichen und über 2.500 Mitarbeiter beschäftigen. Die neue Fabrik wird dabei eine Fläche von fast 148.000 Quadratmetern umfassen. Die Premium Solarmodule werden auf fortschrittlicher PV Technologie basieren und daher eine höhere Leistungsdichte als herkömmliche Mono-PERC-Module aufweisen.
Mit dem geplanten Projekt führt REC seine lange Geschichte in Europa hinsichtlich der Produktion und des Vertriebs von Solartechnologie fort. Zusätzlich zu seinen Siliziumproduktionsstätten in Norwegen, stellt die REC-Gruppe jährlich 4 Millionen hochwertige Solarmodule ihrer modernen Fabrik in Singapur her. Dank der Implementierung von Industrie 4.0 Standards, bleifreien Zellen, Niedertemperaturproduktion sowie Energie-, Wasser- und Abfalleinsparungsprogrammen ist REC Group stets bestrebt, seinen CO2-Fußabdruck zu minimieren.

Sustainability - EN
Serious about Sustainability
With the urgent need to combat climate change, transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar power is crucial. But did you know? We need over 1 billion solar panels annually for a decade to meet the 1.5°C target. The production of solar panels is resource-intensive and generates end-of-life waste. As the solar industry grows, we need to be more sustainable too. We must innovate for higher efficiency, longevity, and sustainable manufacturing to ensure solar panels don’t morph from today’s solution to tomorrow’s problem.
