HIGHEST EFFICIENCY
SunPower makes the highest efficiency solar panels you can buy for your roof 7
SunPower panels deliver 38% more power than a Conventional Panel 8
Highest energy production 1
30% more energy under real-world conditions compared to a Conventional Panel 2
High year one performance delivers 7-9% more energy per rated watt 3 This advantage increases over time, producing 20% more energy over the first 25 years to meet your needs 4
Delivers excellent performance in real world conditions, such as high temperatures, clouds and low light 4,5
SunPower panels maintain their energy production much better than conventional panels in partly-shaded conditions 6
HIGHEST PRODUCTION
1 1% more energy than E-Series, which was most energy per rated watt out of 151 panels tested. Photon International, Feb 2013.2 PVEvolution Labs “SunPower Shading Study,” Feb 2013. Compared to a Conventional Panel (240W, 15% efficient, approx. 1.6 m2)3 Typically 7-9% more energy per watt. BEW/DNV Engineering “Sunpower Yield Report” Jan 20134 SunPower 0.25%/yr degradation vs. 1.0%/yr conv. panel. Campeau, Z. et al “SunPower Test Report” NREL, Q1-20155 “SunPower Module 40-Year Useful Life” SunPower white paper, May 2015. Useful life is 99 out of 100 panels operating at more than 70% of rated power.6 PVEvolution Labs “SunPower Shading Study,” Feb 2013. Compared to a Conventional Panel (240W, 15% efficient, approx. 1.6 m2)7 Highest of over 3,200 silicon solar panels, Photon Module Survey, Feb 2014.8 SunPower 345W panel vs. Conventional Panel (250W, 15.3% efficient, approx. 1.6 m2)
Unmatched reliability 9
SunPower offers the best Combined Power and Product Warranty
Only one out of every 20,000 panels has been returned under warranty 10
No warranty restrictions for coastal applications
HIGHEST RELIABILITY
9#1 rank in “PV Module Durability Initiative Public Report,” Fraunhofer CSE, Feb 2013. Five out of the top 8 largest manufacturers were tested. Campeau, Z. et al. “SunPower Module Degradation Rate,” SunPower white paper, Feb 2013. See www.sunpowercorp.com/facts for details.10 Hasselbrink, E., et al. “Validation of the PVLife Model Against 3 Million Module-Years of Live Site Data.” 39th IEEE PVSC, Tampa Florida, 2013.
