The REC Group is uniquely positioned in the solar energy industry as the only company with a presence across the entire value chain. REC is the world's largest producer of solar grade silicon and wafers for solar applications, as well as a significant producer of cells and modules. REC's business activities are organized in three divisions: REC Silicon, REC Wafer and REC Solar. REC Silicon covers the polysilicon activities; REC Wafer covers production of multicrystalline wafers and monocrystalline ingots, while REC Solar covers the downstream activities of producing and marketing cells and modules. REC Silicon REC Silicon produces solar grade polysilicon for the photovoltaic industry and electronic grade polysilicon and silane gas for the electronics industry at two facilities in the USA. REC Silicon is the world’s largest dedicated producer of solar grade silicon. REC Wafer REC Wafer produces multicrystalline wafers for the solar cell industry at two production facilities in Norway, as well as monocrystalline ingots for wafer production at a separate plant in Norway. REC Wafer is the world’s largest producer of multicrystalline wafers. REC Solar REC Solar produces solar cells at its plant in Norway and solar cell modules at its facilities in Sweden. The division also comprises the small systems installation company SolEnergy/Solar Systems Ltd. in South Africa. Integrated advantages The presence in all parts of the value chain of the photovoltaic industry is one of REC's key strengths. It provides in-depth industry insight at a point in time when the industry is still immature, which makes REC well positioned to analyze and execute on strategic opportunities. It also enables REC to carry out joint technology development and further strengthen its leading technological position throughout the chain. Efficient collaboration across segments makes it possible to exploit operational synergies and apply consistent application of manufacturing principles. It also provides flexibility to grow where opportunity is greatest at any time, in a coordinated manner. Own production of solar grade silicon secures the growth potential of all REC businesses. This adds to other strengths, notably efficient and scalable operations with lean manufacturing and mass production concepts implemented throughout the group.
| REC Solar technology Downstream manufacturing excellence
Both REC Solar’s main operations – cell and module production – are state-of-the-art and highly automated plants – combining lean and efficient manufacturing with the strictest quality control through all stages of the manufacturing process. Continuous, incremental improvement is always on top of the agenda. Advances in technology and machinery have made us among the first in Europe to reduce cell thickness to below 200 µm
