460 Watt Mono Solar Panel - High End REC Alpha Pure-RX Series - 172.8 x 120.5 cm

One of the most efficient solar panels you can buy in New Zealand. The REC Alpha Pure-RX delivers 460–470 watts and 22.1% panel efficiency from a single compact panel, using REC's advanced heterojunction (HJT) cell technology — so you generate more power from every square metre of roof. Ideal when roof space is limited and you want maximum output from a premium, tier-1 panel.

Built with lead-free, gapless cell technology and backed by REC's industry-leading 20-year product and 25-year power warranties, the Pure-RX still delivers 92% of its rated output after 25 years. It's certified for salt-mist, ammonia and PID resistance — equally at home on a coastal bach, a rural off-grid setup or a city rooftop in tough New Zealand conditions.

Why choose the REC Alpha Pure-RX

• 22.1% panel efficiency — among the highest available, meaning more kWh from every m² of roof
• 460 W / 470 W output from a compact 2.08 m² panel
• 20-year product + 25-year power warranty — 92% output guaranteed at year 25
• Lead-free heterojunction (HJT) cells with strong low-light and high-temperature performance
• Certified for salt-mist, ammonia & PID resistance — built to last in NZ coastal and rural conditions
• Stäubli MC4 connectors & IP68 junction box for a reliable, weatherproof installation

Complete your rooftop install

Everything you need to mount, wire and store the power from your REC Alpha Pure-RX panels:

• Solar panel mounts & brackets — rail kits, Z-brackets and IP68 cable glands for tin, membrane and rural roofs.
• MPPT solar charge controllers — size a Victron SmartSolar MPPT to the panel's 65.3 V open-circuit voltage for off-grid or battery charging.
• Solar cable, MC4 connectors & fuses — matched 4–6 mm² solar cable, genuine connectors and string protection.
• Batteries — lithium (LiFePO4) and AGM banks to store the energy your array generates.

Not sure how many panels you need, or how to wire them together? Our AnyKit™ Solar Design Tool sizes the array, controller and battery for your roof and usage, and our guide on matching and combining solar panel models explains how to add panels safely.
