Europe’s first large commercial installation - high performance REC Alpha solar panels installed on farm in Holland
Edwin Schilder, REC certified installer who implemented the system, sees great potential for the product in the Netherlands: "Whether it is an installation on a family home comprising only a small roof area or a large system, REC Alpha is the ideal product for customers who want to act in an environmentally conscious manner while seeking maximized performance and reliability over a long period of time. My customers are willing to invest in this. At the end of the day, a higher price for the purchase of a system will pay off over a plannable lifetime of the solar modules. REC itself provides me with the best selling point - a strong warranty, the REC ProTrust Warranty".
The installation in the north of Holland will generate around 240,000 kWh of power annually. This is the equivalent of supplying 80 households1) with electricity. At the same time, the installation, which generates green electricity, saves 170 tons of CO2 per year. The REC Alpha 360 panels were installed for the 1,415 square meter PV system, purchased by REC’s distribution partner in the region Carbomat Group.
