Description
When you want the best panel money can buy for a residential rooftop, the REC Alpha Pure-RX 460W is the one installers and homeowners keep coming back to — 22.1% efficiency, heterojunction cell technology, and a warranty program that actually covers labor.
- 88 Half-Cut Bifacial Heterojunction Cells – REC's gapless HJT cell technology delivers industry-leading efficiency and superior low-light performance that keeps producing when conditions aren't perfect.
- 22.1% Panel Efficiency at 460W – One of the highest efficiency panels available in a residential form factor, delivering 20.5 W/ft² for maximum output on space-constrained rooftops.
- 9A Module Current – MLPE Compatible – Designed with a low 9A module current for seamless compatibility with microinverters and DC optimizers right out of the box.
- Industry-Leading Low Degradation – Annual degradation of just 0.25% with 98% power guaranteed in year one and 92% output retained through year 25.
- REC ProTrust Warranty Eligible – Qualifies for REC's 25-year product, power, and labor warranty when installed by an REC Certified Solar Professional — one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry.
The Pure-RX is built on REC's proven Alpha platform with a full black anodized aluminum frame and black backsheet, giving it a sleek, uniform appearance that looks at home on any modern rooftop. The 0.13 in. anti-reflective solar glass and IP68-rated 4-part junction box are engineered to handle everything from salt mist to 35mm hail impacts without flinching.
With a -0.24%/K temperature coefficient — among the lowest available — this panel holds its output better in real-world heat than conventional PERC or even most TOPCon modules. That edge compounds over 25 years into meaningfully more energy delivered to your home.
Stäubli MC4 connectors, 12AWG cables, and a 1000V system voltage rating make installation straightforward on any modern residential or light commercial system. At just 50 lbs in a 68 x 47.4 in. footprint, it handles cleanly on the roof without adding unnecessary weight to the structure.
