The new REC N-Peak 2 features 120 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/half-cut-solar-cells-panels\/\"> half-cut solar cells<\/a> to deliver up to 375 Wp of power.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Building on the success of its predecessor, the REC N-Peak 2 steps up the already excellent power density and energy yield per m2, giving consumers higher savings on electricity bills and carbon emissions,&#8221; states the company.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>REC N-Peak 2 Specifications<\/h2>\n<p>The following are some selected specs for the N-Peak 2 standard\u00a0 version &#8211; there&#8217;s also a &#8220;full black&#8221; version available with a black backsheet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wattages: 360W, 365W, 370W, 375W<\/li>\n<li>Panel efficiency: 19.7%, 20.0%, 20.3%, 20.5%<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/temperature-coefficient\/\">Temperature coefficient of PMAX<\/a>: -0.34 %\/\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>Temperature coefficient of VOC: -0.26 %\/\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>Dimensions: 1755 x 1040 x 30 mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 20kg<\/li>\n<li>20 year product warranty (not including labour), 25 years (including labour) if installed by an REC Certified Solar Professional installer.<\/li>\n<li>0.25% warranted annual degradation, at least 92% of its nameplate power in the 25th year.<\/li>\n<li>To be manufactured in Singapore<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Comparing this panel to the original N-Peak using SolarQuotes&#8217; trusty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/comparison\/compare-solar-panels\/\">solar panel comparison table<\/a>, the former was only available in wattages up to 330W. Temperature coefficient and panel efficiencies for the new panels are better as is to be expected, as is larger dimensions and heavier (+2kg). The warranted annual degradation is much better than its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>The full specifications sheet for the standard version <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recgroup.com\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/ds_rec_n-peak_2_series_en.pdf\">can be viewed here<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recgroup.com\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/ds_rec_n-peak_2_series_en.pdf\">full black version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>REC says production of N-Peak 2 solar panels is set to kick off next month, with shipments worldwide commencing in October. There&#8217;s no indication as yet on pricing; but generally considered as &#8220;premium&#8221; panels, REC products tend to be at the more expensive end of the spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>The N-Peak 2 product launch is the third for the company in the last few months. In May, it unveiled the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rec-twinpeak-4-mb2004\/\">REC TwinPeak 4 and Alpha Pure Black<\/a> solar panels, the latter available in wattages up to 405W.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rec-review.html\">REC solar panels<\/a> have been available on the Australian market since 2010.
