Straight answer

What Makes the REC 460W Different from a Standard Solar Panel?

The REC 460W is a high output panel that puts more power in less roof space than many standard modules. REC manufacturer coverage remains separate, and every installation carries our 5 year workmanship and leak warranty from system activation.

Cost ranges

REC 460W Cost by System Size

Because REC panels pack more wattage per panel, homes with limited roof space often need fewer panels to hit the same system size.

System sizePrice per wattInstalled price
6 kW$2.70 - $2.90/W$16,200 - $17,400
10 kW$2.50 - $2.70/W$25,000 - $27,000
15 kW$2.30 - $2.50/W$34,500 - $37,500

Pricing tracks the same $2.30 to $3.00 per watt range as our other Tier 1 panels, since the underlying labor and permitting cost is the same.
