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 wish I had $100 for every time I heard some uneducated Trump supporter tell me this.
A democracy is a system where governmental power is derived directly from the will of the majority. A constitutional republic is a specific type of representative democracy where the people elect officials to govern, but those officials are strictly limited by a supreme, written constitution designed to protect minority rights from majority rule.
I remember a conservative friend who lived in Hawaii who complained that the native people objected to a project directed from Washington to build something at the top of one of their volcanoes, on the basis that this was their holy land. My friend asked, “Doesn’t the majority rule?”
“Not necessarily.” Trying to make my point in the simplest way possible, I explained, “People have rights. My neighbors like me, but imagine that they didn’t, and 20 of them, a 20:1 majority, wanted to come in here and beat me to death. I have a right not to murdered. When you think about it, we’re lucky not to live in a country where ‘the majority rules.’”
“Oh. I guess you’re right,” my friend said.
My biggest beef with Trump isn’t the many individual points of failure, but the fact that they are all the product of the mind of a criminal sociopath whose only way of thinking is self-enrichment, normally at the expense of anyone who cannot serve to make him richer and more powerful.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson says that our problem isn’t that our children don’t understand science, but that our adults don’t.
Three comments:
1) Wind is not a finite resource as long as the sun comes up every morning and disproportionately heats the Earth’s surface. 8th grade Earth science.
2) Wind doesn’t cool anything except the skins of certain animals that perspire. 9th grade biology.
3) Putting one’s ignorance of public display is not a strong idea, even in rural Texas.
