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.
