A photovoltaic (PV) solar system is comprised of solar panels, racks for placing the panels on your roof, electrical wiring and an inverter. From sunrise to sunset, the solar panels generate electricity (DC) which is sent to an inverter. The inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity required for household use. The AC power is delivered directly to your home’s main electrical service panel for use by you and your family.

With our Maxeon solar panels we offer the longest warranty in the industry: 40 years. And that covers both the product and the performance, which is not the case for all the other standard panel warranties. That’s because we know that our technology is designed to last even more than 40 years. Our Performance value line are backed by a 30-year Warranty. . Regular maintenance, environmental conditions, usage patterns, and technological advancements can influence their lifespan.
