REC 410 AA PURE REC

Product Performance

Power Rating 410W

has a power max output of 410 watts. In independent third-party testing, all models test at or above their reported electrical output.

Efficiency 22.2%

REC 410 AA PURE’s efficiency rating is an amazing 22.2%. This ranks REC among the HIGHEST in average solar panel efficiency. This is possible largely due to their Alpha series Twin Design, minimization of resistance loss. The twin Design also allows each half panel to continue generating electricity at full capacity even while the other half is shaded.

Power Tolerance 0 / +5 watts

Power tolerance refers to the amount of electricity produced either above or below its rated power capacity at Standard Test Conditions (STC). The smaller the power tolerance deviation or range, the more accurate the rated power capacity is.

REC Solar Alpha series solar modules have a power tolerance of -0/+5%.

That means REC panels will, at the very minimum, operate at their rated capacity, However, these panels exceed by as much as 5% of their rated capacity. For example, an REC panel rated at 410 W will be able to operate anywhere from 410 W to 430 W (or 5% higher than 410) under STC.

Temperature Coefficient PMax: -0.26

Solar panels perform best at 77°F (25°C). Here in Texas, obviously, we see temperatures that far exceed 77°F for long portions of the year. A solar panel’s temperature coefficient is a measurement indicating how well a specific model of solar panel will perform outside of ideal operating conditions.

Knowing a panel’s temperature coefficient and the temperature of the panel will allow you to predict your panel’s performance during the dog days of summer.

Temperature coefficients are calculated in Celsius.

With each degree above 25° C /77° F, a given solar panel’s electric output will be diminished by its temperature coefficient.

Using the above methodology, the REC 410 AA PURE panel has a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C. Hence, when this panel’s temperature increases by one degree, from 25°C to 26°C (77° F to 79° F), expect a 0.26% reduction in potential electric output

When it's July in Texas and temperatures have climbed to 95° F/35° C, expect electric output to decrease by 2.6%. When the hottest hours of the summer drives the mercury into the triple digits, say 113° F/ 45° C, the REC 410 AA PURE will decrease approximately 5.2%.
