Are solar panels worth it?
Solar panels can be a worthwhile investment, especially in regions with abundant sunlight and favorable incentives. They offer numerous benefits, including cost savings on electricity bills, reduced environmental impact, and potential increases in property value. Solar panels typically pay for themselves over time through energy savings and potential government incentives, making them an attractive option for many homeowners and businesses interested in sustainable energy solutions and long-term financial benefits. The return on investment, however depends on factors like your energy consumption, location, available incentives, and long-term goals. That's why we recommend to conduct a thorough evaluation and consult with one of our solar professionals to determine the specific economic and environmental advantages for your situation.
Are SunPower solar panels better?
Not all solar systems are created equal. Of all solar panels on the market, SunPower panels convert more sunlight into electricity. This means our solar panels generate more power than conventional panels within the same amount of space and you’ll need fewer solar panels to produce the energy you need. You can maximise your available roof space to choose the best, unobstructed location for electricity production. You'll save more money on electricity costs over time with SunPower.
Does Cosmetic quality affect the panel’s performance?
Every single panel is electrically tested and inspected for cosmetic criteria at the end of the production line. Regardless of the cosmetic grade, the cosmetic effects do not affect performance or reliability.
Does my installer have to be a SunPower partner?
No. If there are no SunPower Partners in your area, we will pair you with a qualified installer, or you can appoint an installer of your choice.
How can I become a SunPower installer?
To become a SunPower-certified installer, visit our Partner Program page and submit your application. Our team will review your details and guide you through the onboarding process, which includes product training, certification, and access to exclusive installer benefits.
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.
How does SunPower M Class separate itself from standard solar panels?
SunPower M Class is our latest evolution in back contact solar technology.
With M Class panels, we’re merging two of our most powerful innovations—a proven shingled-cell architecture with back contact cell design—to deliver a product that redefines solar for distributed generation applications.
SunPower M Class offers:
- Superior energy production: Back contact cells increase light absorption, while the shingled-cell architecture maximises energy density to help customers offset more of their utility bill.
- Enhanced reliability: Derived from our proven interdigitated back contact (IBC) technology, the new M Class panel’s back contact technology also delivers long-term durability, even in challenging conditions like hail, wind, snow, and more.
- Longer warranty: As pioneers in solar energy, and with over 30 years of experience in back-contact technology, we’re able to stand behind our products with the industry’s longest and most comprehensive warranty coverage.
- Distinct aesthetics: With no visible front-side wiring, M Class provides a sleek, all-black look that blends seamlessly with any roof.
This fusion of technology reflects SunPower’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of solar innovation, building on over 40 years of experience to continue delivering products that are not only high-performing. but also beautifully designed and built to last.
How do I access SunPower product documentation and installation guides?
All SunPower product manuals, installation guides, and technical specifications are available in our installer portal. If you're a registered installer, you can log in to access these resources. If you need assistance, contact our support team.
How do Performance 7 solar panels compare to standard panels?
SunPower Performance 7 solar panels are different in many ways, they offer a combination of innovative technology and superior construction not seen in standard panels. One-third cut TOPCon shingled-cell technology is used to create high-efficiency Performance 7 solar panels, resulting in better sunlight capture than standard solar panels with lower efficiency. This translates to high power and reliable energy output, reducing electricity costs for customers. Additionally, the bifacial design allows energy generation from both sides of the panel, further optimising output and enabling solar design flexibility.
Performance 7 solar panels are built to last. Using high-quality materials, they feature a glass-glass construction that shields them from harsh weather conditions. The flexible cell interconnections enable the panel to withstand temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent energy production over the panel's lifespan. A low annual degradation rate helps Performance 7 solar panels to maintain their high-efficiency rate over time, whilst a low-temperature coefficient, guarantees optimal solar production even in hot climates. Experienced engineering and clever panel design incorporate strong shade management, offering resilience to a variety of shading scenarios that can detrimentally impact overall energy production. Performance 7 solar panels offer dependable energy output, durability, and long-term reliability not seen in standard panels.
