One is a product warranty covering defects in design, materials and manufacture and the other is a performance warranty covering a minimum level performance over time, the latter usually being 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>Solar panel product warranties are commonly 10 years, although some manufacturers offer significantly more. One to join that club is Norway-headquartered REC Group<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rec-solar-panel-warranty-mb0897\/#en-27089-1' id='enref-27089-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(27089)'>1<\/a><\/sup>, which has increased product warranty duration from 10 to 20 years across the TwinPeak range and from 12 years to 20 years for the N-Peak range.<\/p>\n<p>Both these product lines use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/half-cut-solar-cells-panels\/\">&#8220;half-cut&#8221; solar cells<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cREC\u2019s new warranty, which now ranks as one of the best in the industry, is a testament to our consistent excellent product and performance quality,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/recgroup.com\/en\/rec-group-introduces-new-industry-topping-solar-panel-warranty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> said<\/a> Cemil Seber, Vice President Global Marketing &amp; Product Management at REC Group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On top of the 20 years, REC will add another 5 years for installations of its panels carried out by REC-certified Solar Professionals &#8211; so 25 years in total in those scenarios.<\/p>\n<h2>TwinPeak Power Degradation Warranty Improvements<\/h2>\n<p>The performance of a panel gradually degrades over its life, but that should only be by a small amount each year in the case of a good quality module &#8211; significantly less than 1% per year.<\/p>\n<p>REC&#8217;s power degradation warranty, (aka performance warranty), has also had a boost.<\/p>\n<p>While still the standard 25 years, first-year degradation for all TwinPeak products has been reduced from 3% to 2.5%, then 0.5% (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rec-twinpeak-modules-mb0010\/\">TwinPeak 2S<\/a>) and 0.7% (TwinPeak 2) for years 2 to 25. This means the final year warranted power output has been increased to at least 85.5% after 25 years of operation for the TwinPeak 2S and 80.7% for the TwinPeak 2.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have had REC modules installed in the last few months, you may not have missed out &#8211;
