Solar is not just for your roof anymore. It’s used in a broad range of applications from transportation and scientific endeavours, to charging the growing number of devices that power our lives. And SunPower’s Maxeon solar cell technology is perfect for these types of projects.
Lightyear One: powered by SunPower Maxeon technology
Using Maxeon 3 solar cells the team at Lightyear has achieved a huge milestone, driving 710km with their Lightyear One prototype! As the farthest range of any solar-powered vehicle to date, Lightyear’s CEO states that even the most efficient electric cars in the market today consume more energy.
Fundamentally different, and better
SunPower Maxeon Solar cells are designed to be different, and proven to be better across more than five cell generations, 3.5 billion cells even in the harshets of conditions. Conventional solar cell lose power over time because of corrosion and breakage. The unique design of SunPower Maxeon solar cells eliminates 86% of the reasons that conventional dells fail1 Wohlgemuth, J. “Reliability of PV Systems.” Proceedings of SPIE, 2008 .
Efficient Solar Cells Chosen by Champions
Maxeon’s efficient solar cells have fueled more than two dozen solar race cars around the world, and helped planes and boats circumnavigate the planet on solar energy.
