How do the SunPower Solar Panel Product Ranges differ from each other?
SunPower Maxeon Series:
Distinguishing Features: The Maxeon Panel series is known for its industry-leading efficiency, 40 year warranty and durability. It features SunPower's Maxeon solar cell technology, which uses a solid copper foundation for enhanced reliability and performance.
Benefits: These panels offer high efficiency, low degradation rates, and exceptional long-term energy production. They are suitable for residential and commercial installations where space is limited, and maximum energy generation is desired.
SunPower Performance Series:
Distinguishing Features: The Sunpower Performance Panel series provides a balance of efficiency and value. While slightly less efficient than the Maxeon series, these panels still offer good performance and quality. They use high efficiency mono PERC cells, as opposed to SunPower's proprietary back contact technology developed for our Maxeon panels.
Benefits: These panels are a cost-effective choice for homeowners and businesses looking for reliable solar power generation without the premium price tag. They are a practical option for a wide range of applications.
Is the AC module system certified to this standard?
All grid-connected modules with integrated inverters must comply with all the requirements and tests established in parts 1 and 2 of the UNE-206007 Report. Prior to the connection and/or contracting of self-consumption, and as indicated in section 4 of part 2, this compliance must be certified by a certification body accredited according to UNE-EN 1S0/IEC 17065.
Do solar panels add value to my house when I sell it?
Studies have shown that homes with solar panels tend to have higher re-sale values compared to non-solar homes. The exact increase in value varies, but it's generally observed that solar-equipped homes have an edge due to the potential for lower energy costs and environmental benefits.

How do solar panels work?
When sunlight strikes a solar cell, it dislodges electrons from atoms, creating an electric current. Connectors on the cell's positive and negative sides form an electrical circuit. This flow of electrons generates electricity. Solar panels consist of numerous cells, and you can connect multiple panels to create a solar array. The greater the number of panels you use, the more energy you can produce.
Are there any government incentives or tax breaks available for installing solar panels?
Many governments offer incentives, tax credits, and rebates to promote solar energy adoption. These incentives can significantly reduce the up front cost of installation. Common incentives include tax credits, rebates, and net metering programs.
How does shade affect the solar system’s performance?
Solar panels operate most efficiently when they’re able to soak up as much sun as possible. Let us evaluate your particular situation and provide some options for you.
