Solar Panels FAQs
What are home energy insights?
When you store your solar energy with SunPower Reserve, the SunPower One app helps you make the most of it. Unlike regular PV monitoring apps, it focuses on your whole home - revealing how you use energy, including your most power-hungry devices. It translates kilowatts into more relatable money and carbon savings. You also get tips for changes you can make to further reduce your energy bills.
How do SunPower Performance solar panels differ from SunPower® Maxeon® panel technology?
SunPower® Performance solar panels use high efficiency mono PERC cells, as opposed to SunPower's proprietary back contact technology developed for our Maxeon panels.
How do SunPower Performance solar panels differ from Conventional Panels?
There are a variety of key technical differences between SunPower Performance solar panels and Conventional Panels, including the design and layout of the solar cells and the electric architecture—which combine to enhance the reliability, performance and aesthetics of Performance panels.
To go into a bit more technical detail, first, we laser cut each SunPower Performance cell into strips and layer them in a shingled configuration to create a ‘hypercell’. This shingled hypercell allows us to fit more active cell area into each panel, boosting power and efficiency. Second, Performance cells are connected with a flexible joint interconnection to offer multiple and redundant paths for energy flow. This allows us to remove the front contact conductive ribbons and solder bonds found in conventional cells that can block active cell area and deteriorate over time, leading to cell failures and power deficits. Finally, SunPower Performance panels feature a unique parallel circuit architecture that significantly limits power loss in shade and soiling. The result is a superior shingled panel constructed with commodity cells, outperforming conventional panels in efficiency, performance and reliability.
Is this system compatible with SunPower Reserve home energy storage?
SunPower Reserve can be paired with both AC and DC solar systems and can be retrofitted to an existing solar array or in a hybrid AC or DC scenario where a second array is added.
Can you schedule the surpluses in any way? For example, to different appliances or an electric car charger?
Some customers have achieved some clever customised DIY solutions for re-directing surplus power using Enphase APIs, however, Enphase does not currently offer products that re-direct surplus power.
