SunPower® Performance solar panels use high efficiency mono PERC cells, as opposed to SunPower's proprietary back contact technology developed for our Maxeon panels.

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.

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.

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.

PV solar panels are like puzzles made of tiny solar cells, enclosed in glass. These cells are made of silicon, a bit like computer chips. They have a positive part and a negative part that work together to make electricity, kind of like a battery. SunPower solar panels also have special adhesives and coatings to protect these cells and keep them working well even in different weather conditions.

There are several financing options for solar installations, including solar loans, solar leases, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
