SunPower in business since 1985 , has been leading the global solar innovation with more than 200 patents for solar technology.  SunPower is the solar energy choice of more homeowners (with over 100,000 residential installs in the USA)  and businesses around the world. Over 7,000,000 MWh of solar power installed!® solar panels consistently deliver more energy and long-term peace of mind with the highest performing solar power systems available. Maxeon cell technology ranks as the worlds highest efficiency panel,  which currently hold the world record with up to 24% cell conversion efficiency
PANEL PERFORMANCE…
  • Independent tests around the world show that SunPower panels produce the most electricity-ASU Test +7% performance, Loughborough Scotland (CREST) Test +9% performance, University of Cypress Test +16% performance & University of Stuttgart (IPE) Test +16% performance.  Competitor panels included Mono-Si, Poly Si and HIT from Sanyo
  • Panels outperform others early in the morning, late in the day, and on cloudy days.
  • They effectively absorb different wavelengths of light to generate more electricity.
  • They perform better at high temperatures than others. Because they’re more efficient at converting light into electricity (and not heat), the hotter it gets outside, the better they perform compared to the competition.
  • They maintain efficiency during initial break-in. Most panels lose 3% efficiency when first exposed to sunlight. Not SunPower.
BRIEF COMPANY HISTORY….
In the 1970’s
With SunPower, their solar innovation began nearly four decades ago, when our co-founder, Dr. Richard Swanson, was pondering ways to deal with the oil crisis. At that time, solar cells were being used on satellites, a concept he found intriguing. His engineering challenge was to figure out how to make the cells more cost-effective. So he began a quest that, almost 40 years later, has helped position SunPower as a leader in residential, commercial and utility-scale solar power production.
In 1985
Dr. Swanson (who by then was a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford) had been awarded grants from the Electric Power Research Institute and the U.S. Department of Energy to support his solar power explorations. With the help of these funds – as well as financial support from two venture capital firms – SunPower was officially incorporated.
