REC Certified Solar Professional — May Electric Solar
Rigorously vetted by REC — unlocks the full 25-year ProTrust warranty including labor. Only available through certified contractors.
Why REC
The REC Alpha Pure-RX uses heterojunction (HJT) cell technology that excels exactly where Florida is hardest on equipment — heat, humidity, and relentless sun. In this climate, heat tolerance isn't a footnote; it's everything.
-0.24%/°K temp. coefficient — best in class
Most panels degrade at -0.35% per degree. In Florida's summer heat that gap adds up to real production gains year after year.
Only 0.25% annual degradation
REC guarantees ≥ 92% power in year 25. A panel that degrades slower is worth more over its lifetime.
Hurricane-rated: +7,000 Pa, SM6 salt mist
Tested to 35mm hail and 7,000 Pa front load. Built for exactly the environment the greater Tampa Bay area puts panels through.
We live-test the panels and microinverters we install at our Hudson, FL facility — vetting the equipment under real conditions before it goes on your roof.
25-yr ProTrust labor warranty
Only available through REC Certified contractors. Standard installs get zero labor coverage.
Enphase compatibility
The REC Pure-RX is designed with a 9A module current optimized for module-level power electronics (MLPE) — so it pairs perfectly with Enphase IQ8 microinverters. The two best technologies in residential solar, working together exactly as intended.
Designed from the ground up to work with microinverter technology — maximum energy harvest at every individual panel, no compromises or workarounds.
Paired with Enphase IQ8, every REC panel is monitored individually in real time through the Enlighten app — you always know exactly what each panel is producing.
How it compares
Most solar quotes use conventional monocrystalline PERC panels. Here's why we install heterojunction technology instead.
| REC Pure-RX 460W | Typical PERC panel | |
|---|---|---|
| Cell technology | Heterojunction (HJT) | Mono PERC |
| Efficiency | 22.1% | ~19–20% |
| Temp. coefficient | -0.24% /°K | -0.35% /°K |
| Annual degradation | 0.25% / yr | 0.45–0.55% / yr |
| Power in year 25 | ≥ 92% | ~80–84% |
| Labor warranty | 25 years (ProTrust) | 0–2 years |
| Low-light performance | ✓ Excellent | Average |
| All-black design | ✓ Standard | Varies |
| MLPE optimized | ✓ 9A compatible | Often not |
| Hurricane load rated | ✓ 7,000 Pa | Varies |
