[RE-wrenches] Physically strong panel recommendation for 2026?

[James Jarvis]

Hi re-wrenches,

We make off-grid powered equipment and power systems for extreme locations.
Lots of cold and very windy locations. One the major concerns is the
physical strength of the panels in those high wind locations. We've
developed a custom extrusion and clamping system for fulling clamping the
long edge of the modules. But we, of course, need good strong glass to go
between.

For the last 5 years we've been using REC pure series. They have extra
cross support bars glued to the back of the modules. Module sizes in the
360 to 420 watt range. I've seen zero blow outs on these modules in our
application and have generally been happy with them. Except availability is
always a challenge. And the size keeps creeping up and will soon exceed
what will physically fit.

Does anybody have recommendation for their favorite super strong mid-sized
panel maker / series?

Thanks
