Roshan zipped down to Windsor in VIC for episode 4 of Open Homes Australia. The setting was a compact, attached home, and the owner, Jesse Raeburn, proudly took Roshan on a tour. With limited, usable roof space, REC Alpha Pure-RX solar panels were chosen to power the two-bedroom home.
Space-saving design choices
Roshan will soon be renovating his own home and is looking for tips and tricks to maximise space. The Windsor home is the perfect example of space utilisation and sustainability.
With limited floor space and a compact layout, clever design choices were required to make the attached Victorian home feel larger and utilise every square inch. Cathedral ceilings with windows for natural light immediately open up the living space. A clever inbuilt bench on the kitchen island solves the dining room space limitation and increases the available space in the living room.
With a south-facing roof and limited space for solar, Jesse enlisted the help and advice of Roshan and Omzen Electric + Solar to design a solar system to power the home.
High-performing solar panels for limited roof space
When space is limited and you need a system to power a family’s home, REC has a solution. Alpha Pure-RX panels are the latest REC residential solar panels to enter Australia and they’re packed with industry-leading features and technology.
Heterojunction solar cell (HJT) technology
The Alpha Pure-RX solar panels utilise HJT technology to maximise the power output of each panel. With limited roof space, maximising every square inch of available space is paramount and the Alpha Pure-RX panels provide up to 470 watts of electricity each. HJT cells mean absolutely no loss of power – plus they’re optimised to operate in Australia’s harsh climate.
Power for years to come with industry-leading efficiency
Solar panels degrade over time, with the average panel reducing to 87.5% output efficiency after 25 years. REC Alpha Pure-RX panels are guaranteed to perform at a minimum of 92% efficiency after 25 years. That’s more power for many years to come.
Consumer-focused solar panels
Not only will your Alpha Pure-RX solar panels look amazing with their all-black aesthetics but they are better for the environment. Each panel is lead-free, meaning that their carbon footprint is smaller and their end-of-life journey will be free of toxic leakage.
Built to be robust, the panels are rated for up to 7000pa loads. This makes the panels perfect for areas that experience high winds. The award-winning ‘twin’ design splits the Alpha Pure-RX panels into two sections. If part of your panel is shaded, it will not impact the output as it would regular solar panels. For homes with nearby trees and other shadow-casting structures, the Alpha Pure-RX panels are a fantastic solution to ensure your home is receiving as much power as possible.
Manufactured in Singapore
REC ensures that each panel is manufactured to its stringent quality standards through its facility in Singapore. Each panel is quality-controlled and manufactured to REC’s high excellence standards. The award-winning facility is also one of the world’s largest.
