So, in 5 months, the company has sold two-thirds of its current annual N-Peak production capacity (150MW).<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s first REC N-Peak solar panel installation was in Australia; performed by Perth-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installer-review\/solaire-connect\/\">Solaire Connect<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, REC Group also boosted its product warranty<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rec-n-peak-mb1032\/#en-29837-1' id='enref-29837-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(29837)'>1<\/a><\/sup> from 12 years to 20 years for the N-Peak range. That&#8217;s further extended to 25 years if the panels are installed by a REC certified installer. A 25 year product warranty for a solar panel is a pretty big deal and demonstrates the company&#8217;s faith in the tech and workmanship.<\/p>\n<h2>New REC Panel On The Horizon<\/h2>\n<p>In other recent news from REC, the company is preparing to unveil what it claims to be the world\u2019s highest power 60-cell solar panel (380 watts).<\/p>\n<p>The big reveal will occur at Intersolar Europe on May 15. REC says the product is based on a &#8220;new revolutionary cell technology and proprietary panel design&#8221;. There&#8217;s not a lot of information released about it as yet, but REC says the module has emerged from its half-cut technology<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rec-n-peak-mb1032\/#en-29837-2' id='enref-29837-2' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(29837)'>2<\/a><\/sup> and combines heterojunction cells (HJT) with advanced connection technology.
