I have to chime in with my experiences with REC as well. One of the reasons
we continue to sell their modules is their high marine salt spray rating.
Short term, installing any module in the Caribbean or the coast of Maine
can be successful, but the longevity of highly rated modules like the ones

We have installing REC for 15 years with no issues. George and his team
have been nothing but awesome to work with. We have never had to file a
warranty claims.
As a certified installer the improved warranty and labor credit if there is
a claim has been a great selling point for us as well.

That's all we use. High altitude, Severe conditions. Might be the best
modules we've installed.

Our experience with REC is similar to previous respondents. We almost
solely installed REC modules for the better part of a few years and have
over 12,000 (4.31 mW) of them in the field. Ironically enough our first
warranty claim for one was a couple weeks ago (failed diode). The

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have positive or negative experience with REC modules?
Specifically failure rate, and how the company acts when an RMA is
necessary. Thank you

Hi John,
We have many, many REC panels installed, from Maine to Antigua. They

Hi module mounters,
It seems I remember a thread or two quite awhile ago about REC Modules. I
am looking for alternatives to Evergreen black framed modules. Looking for
pros and cons. The frame looks lightweight. We will be using mostly on top of
pole mounts with wind loading. I never
I have never used these modules but they seem to actually be doing the
recall "with a smile" so to speak. Better than getting put off or jerked
around or made to jump through hoops..
Just another opinion,

Hello Wrenches,
I am considering using REC modules on a project, and have never used
them. Are these first quality modules?
