You’ve always followed this idea: an excellent roofing material in Littleton, CO, is enough to help me save lots thanks to its excellent insulation, undeniably-helpful durability, and long-term performance. However, solar panels can reduce incoming impact against your roof while helping you save much more money. Truthfully, you’ll have to reinforce your roof’s current support structures, but solar panels can pay for themselves within 1-2 years.
Nighttime Energy Use Reduction
During daylight, electricity use is off the charts, especially if it’s summer’s hot weather. With solar roofs, you can maximize summer sunlight, convert it into electricity, and use it during the night to offset your electricity expenses during the day. Depending on your solar panel and storage quality, the solar roof energy can last by the next morning or at least offset a decent amount of your nighttime charges.

REC Solar panels review
Today we are talking about REC Solar. REC stands for Renewable Energy Corporation – a very sensible and corporate sounding name indeed. Usually this is where I say things like “these panels are made in China” or “introducing another monster Chinese manufacturer”. So, it’s refreshing to start this review by announcing that REC solar panels are (for now at least) still made in Singapore – a rarity in this industry.

- First Solar – 5.5GW
- GCL – 4.8GW
- Shunfeng Photovoltaic – 4.0GW
To put in in perspective, REC announced in 2019 they had cumulatively shipped over 10GW since their inception in 1996.
