Apollo recommends using only the panels that score highly in the photon tests to be assured you get the best possible returns from your solar system. The No 1 performing panel in 2011 so far is made by REC.

REC is the leading vertically integrated player in the solar energy industry. REC Silicon and REC Wafer are among the world's largest producers of polysilicon and wafers, respectively, for solar applications. REC Solar is a rapidly growing manufacturer of solar cells and modules, delivering high performance solar energy solutions to the residential, commercial and utilities sectors, as well as engaging in project development activities in other selected sectors.

The REC modules deliver more power per square meter due to several design improvements. Introduction of three bus bars and improved contact between the cell and metal fingers, improves the electrical flow. The modules are easy to install with made-to-fit cables and multiple grounding points that reduce the ground wire needed in installation. Easy to lift and handle, the modules have a robust and durable design, supporting a large mechanical load.

Apollo Solar is an approved installer of REC PV panels and has full access to their complete range of panels.  All REC panels are made in Norway; have an industry leading energy payback time of one year, plus a 5 year product warranty and a 25 year performance warranty. Their modules are also certified according to CE, TUV, MCS, IEC 61215 and IEC61730 standards.
