Why REC

Built for Florida's heat and storms

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.

Enphase compatibility

Purpose-built for Enphase microinverters

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.

9A MLPE-compatible current

Designed from the ground up to work with microinverter technology — maximum energy harvest at every individual panel, no compromises or workarounds.

Per-panel revenue-grade monitoring

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

REC Alpha Pure-RX vs. typical panels

Most solar quotes use conventional monocrystalline PERC panels. Here's why we install heterojunction technology instead.
