SunPower AC panels

Make the most of every moment of sunlight

Greater reliability over your system’s lifetime, with superior output in real-world conditions — not to mention the enhanced curb appeal that comes with a simpler, cleaner system design.

Powerful, even in low light

Each AC module, equipped with its own microinverter, optimises the energy output from each individual panel. This means even if one panel is underperforming (due to shading or debris), it won't affect the performance of the others, ensuring maximum energy harvest from your entire solar array.

Greater savings

Adopting AC modules equipped with microinverters is a smart investment. They bolster energy production and bring about tangible savings in installation and maintenance. This combination is hard to beat if you are aiming for a green future without compromising on efficiency and savings.

Works independently

Solar that Works Harder. And Smarter. Each SunPower AC module functions independently, making your whole system more reliable, and your rooftop more productive. With conventional technology, the system performs only as well as its weakest panel. This can dramatically reduce output due to shade or other real-world challenges, even small debris like leaves.

What is a microinverter?

A microinverter is a small electronic device that sits beneath each solar panel. Its main task is to convert the electricity generated by your solar panels from direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) that you can use directly in your home or export to the grid.

How it works

Fewer panels on your roof

You will need less SunPower Maxeon AC or SunPower Performance AC modules to deliver the same amount of energy when compared to conventional panels.

Reliability

Each AC module creates energy independently, so you can install them individually making the most of your roof space and avoiding the cost and potential failure of a system string inverter.

FAQs

If one panel fails, does the rest of the system continue to produce energy?

If the microinverter (or the associated PV module) should fail, only that PV module is offline. The remainder of the system continues to operate as normal – a key benefit of AC modules.

If an issue is identified, does the installer need to replace the entire panel?

No, the microinverter is detachable from the PV module so each component can be serviced separately.

How is a system fault detected?

All AC module installations must be Internet connected for the monitoring to receive the 25-year microinverter warranty. This Internet connection reports data to the Enphase monitoring platform, Enlighten on a per microinverter/module basis. The performance of each microinverter and module is visible to the installer via Enlighten and alerts are provided for any faulty equipment, such as an under-performing PV module or a faulty microinverter.
