Even a few years ago, solar panels were not as popular as they are today; however, the scenario has changed, and solar energy has become one of the fastest-growing solutions to rising electricity costs and climate concerns.
With this growth, many solar companies have entered the Australian market, and one name that keeps standing out is REC.
Known for their excellent solar panel efficiency, incredible durability, and long-term performance, they’ve become one of the most talked-about brands in the country.
But is REC the most dependable solar? Does it live up to the hype when compared to its competitors, such as SunPower, LG, and Trina?
If these questions also cross your mind, then follow along, because in this post, we’ll explore some key points that separate REC from the rest and find out if it is the most dependable solar option for Australians.
Ready to find out if REC is the real deal? It’s time to dive in!
Overview of REC: Who is REC & What is their Position in Australia?
Originating from Norway, REC Group is now owned by Reliance Industries, and the company manufactures panels mainly in
Singapore and Norway.
This award-winning solar company, with a Tier 1 title, was founded in 1996 and has grown to become a leading
innovator in solar PV technology.
However, Australia is one of REC’s important markets. Several solar installers here regularly evaluate panel brands,
and REC often ranks near the top in installer surveys, particularly for
top-notch quality and first-rate after‑sales support.
The company employs over 2,000 people and operates an advanced manufacturing plant in Singapore.
Typically, REC produces approximately 1.5 GW of solar panels per
year. REC is still growing, although it remains small in comparison to the massive Chinese solar manufacturers. The
company is also a leader in sustainability within the industry.
The operations headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in Singapore. And the new parent company, Reliance New
Energy Solar, is part of the Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries as of 2021.
The company has several offices worldwide, including one in Melbourne’s CBD. REC is a fully vertically integrated
company. Therefore, they manufacture everything from silicon ingots and wafers to cells and complete module
assemblies.
Since they make everything in-house, it gives them complete control over the quality and traceability of all
components.
REC claims to have the industry’s lowest warranty rate. It is a big claim and difficult to verify. But given the
overwhelmingly positive feedback, they are definitely known to produce highly reliable and high-performing panels.
Especially, they are known for their effectiveness in the harsh Australian
climate, with very few known quality issues.
Also, the REC Certified Solar Professional Program allows them to offer their customers longer warranty periods,
including a product and labour warranty of up to 25 years.

I join those who say that the human race has evolved to be tribal and selfish. We are largely indifferent to the needs of others, and the capitalist society we’ve built has only served to reenforce this.
As Tom Waits observed, “We’re monkeys with money and guns.”
Now, are there some extremely decent and kind people spread around the globe? Of course. But they tend not to be the billionaires who make all the important decisions as to the how our culture will conduct itself.
Well, never is a long time, as they say.
Yet imagine this scenario, which is quite possible:
Trump is impeached and removed. Almost immediately, there is an incredible outpouring of information on an additional set of crimes committed by Trump and his administration. Simultaneously, the U.S. morphs into a social democracy, and its people enjoy quality education, access to healthcare, and prosperity, not unlike those in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the globe.
Yes, there will always be Republicans promising mass deportations and whatever else appeals to a dwindling MAGA base, but I would think they will have one hell of a hard time winning a national election.
The GOP can say the American economy is skyrocketing. But then there’s that nasty little piece of reality that people can’t afford groceries and are suffering financially more generally.
Or they can day that people are suffering financially, but it’s Biden’s fault. Oops. Biden left office 588 days ago.
Or they can say that the war in Iran has driven up gas prices, but that will turn immediately because we’ve won the war. Yikes. What can we say about all these bombs?
Or they can say that all the racial hatred and divisiveness is Obama’s fault. No, that’s problematic, since he’s been gone for almost 10 years.
Trump supporters may not be too sharp, but even they are having trouble accepting all this crap.
