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

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.

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.

You can power your entire house using solar energy. By installing solar panels, you can generate electricity from sunlight and run your home's appliances, lighting, and other electrical systems. An inverter converts the solar-generated electricity into a usable form, and batteries can store excess energy for use during cloudy days or at night. Factors like your energy consumption, the size of the solar system, available sunlight, and location are all important. Our professional installers will help you determine the right setup for your needs.

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

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.
