Delivering on the Promise of Solar Energy

Founded in 1994 in Oslo, Norway, REC is a rapidly growing global company with an expanding international customer base. REC is an industry leader in the production of solar-grade silicon and multicrystalline wafers and one of the fastest growing producers of solar cells and modules. As the world’s most integrated solar energy company, REC has the advantage of controlling every stage of its PV manufacturing process to ensure quality assurance from start to finish.

REC’s ongoing program to improve manufacturing efficiency reduces production costs and moves solar energy ever closer to fulfilling its promise as an economically viable alternative to carbon-based energy sources.

Advances in manufacturing efficiency also serve our commitment to environmental excellence by reducing waste and energy consumption. And by using the region’s abundant hydroelectricity to power most of our production and adhering to Scandinavia’s famously high standards of environmental regulation, REC delivers a high level of ecological responsibility in both process and product.

The end result is that REC is continually minimizing its carbon footprint while reducing its modules’ energy payback time, which at 1.5 years is among the best in the industry.
