Most homeowners have limited space on their roof or in their yard to set up a photovoltaic (PV) solar system. In
a word, they’re looking for efficiency: How can they get the most kilowatt hours out of the fewest panels?
In a word, SunPower.
SunPower’s solar panels are widely acknowledged to be the industry’s most efficient1 with an ability to convert the most sunlight into usable energy. But the benefit for homeowners goes beyond SunPower’s solar panel
technology. While other solar companies are hooked up to hybrid systems that use parts from several different companies, SunPower’s panels are linked to integrated systems designed solely by their own manufacturers to
absorb more light for more power.
Here’s a quick look at what makes SunPower® panels the industry’s most powerful solar panels:1
Technology: SunPower’s ability to create maximum energy starts with the ultra-pure silicon used to make antireflective glass, that in turn, soaks up sunlight and provides a sleek aesthetic homeowners seek. The antireflective glass in most SunPower panels allows the light that enters to bounce back into the panel and harvest as much power as possible. It is important to note that the panels don’t just rely on visible light – the light we see – they also collect more infrared and ultraviolet light than any other solar panel in the market. As a result, SunPower panels generate more power than other panels, even on cloudy days. SunPower also uses intradigitated back contact technology where all of the wires that carry the electricity from each cell in the solar
panel are placed onto the back. That helps prevent power loss due to shading.
