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.

A friend from Texas writes: It’s been an interesting week! A lot to reflect on. And Texas seems to be the epicenter. Folks are pretty flabbergasted over the defeat of all statewide Republican candidates (including state supreme court justices) and the election of a Democratic party-controlled state house.
Yes, Texas blew everyone’s mind. I think what the GOP experienced was a double-whammy if you will.
Consumer prices are high, due at least in part to Trump’s inane and illegal war in Iran. This is impacting the lives of working class Americans.
and
I’m pleased to be able to report that many people still have a conscience, which causes them to reject the GOP’s cruelty, dishonesty, dismissal of science, and criminality.
As shown here, white men, especially uneducated white men, are still not able to see that Trump is terrible for America.
If the last two years didn’t change that, it appears that nothing will.
The vast majority of Americans are thrilled that the midterms brought us the “blue tsunami,” but there are a couple of things that don’t really add up. You may have noticed that:
The U.S. wants a random alcoholic Fox News “journalist’s” head on the plate for having orchestrated the war in Iran, when all he was doing was pursuing his loyalty to Donald Trump, the man who started this asinine and grossly illegal war.
There seems to be no effort to cause Trump, who tried to violently overthrow the U.S. federal government, to face accountability for his treasonous acts.
What’s up with the media? Is there a concerted effort to avoid the facts? What’s the problem with honesty, and telling Americans the truth? Isn’t this the clearest instance of gaslighting in our history? Are we now trying to pretend that Trump never existed?
If such a landslide victory against a would-be autocrat had happened anywhere else on Earth, that traitor would be in prison now, in most cases facing execution.
