SUNPOWER PANELS:A VALUABLE LONG-TERM HOME INVESTMENTSunPower solar panels lead the way in offering the most value to homeowners because SunPower panels can produce more energy. SunPower high-efficiency solar panels generate 70% more energy over the first 25 years than Conventional Panels in the same space.1 And now, new data indicates that SunPower panels will have a Useful Life of more than 40 years!2

Along with a warranty that guarantees more power,3 SunPower panels offer greater long-term reliability, increased savings, and potentially higher home resale value.4

1SunPower 345W compared to a Conventional Panel (250W, 15.3% efficient, approx. 1.6 m2), 9% moreenergy per watt, 0.75%/yr slower degradation. BEW/DNV Engineering “SunPower Yield Report,” Jan 2013,with CFV Solar Test Lab Report #12063, Jan 2013 temp. coef. calculation. Campeau, Z. et al. “SunPowerModule Degradation Rate,” SunPower white paper, Feb 2013. See www.sunpowercorp.com/facts for details.

2“SunPower Module 40-Year Useful Life,” SunPower white paper. Feb 2013. Useful life is defined as 99 out of100 panels operating at more than 70% of rated power.

3Compared with the top 15 manufacturers. SunPower Warranty Review, Feb 2013.

4Exploring California PV Home Premiums, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, December 2013. Studyanalyzed 72,000 California homes, 2,000 of which had solar.

PREDICTABLE FINANCIAL SAVINGSReliable long-term performance means more predictable savings than Conventional Panels over the system’s lifetime. While homeowners with Conventional solar systems watch production decrease and savings decline, you can look forward to your solar savings for the next 40 years.

HIGHER HOME RESALE VALUEWith solar power, your home can potentially enjoy a higher resale value.4 A recent U.S.government study found that solar homes sold for approximately $5,500/kW more than non-solar homes. Since 21.5% efficiency X-Series SunPower panels allow homeowners to install more watts per square foot, you can install more kilowatts in the same space and maximize your home’s potential resale value in Year 1. And, with 40 years of reliable production, your resale advantage may grow even further.

5#1 rank in “PV Module Durability Initiative Public Report,” Fraunhofer CSE, Feb 2013. Five out of the top 8 largest manufacturers were tested. Campeau, Z. et al. “SunPower Module Degradation Rate,” SunPower white paper, Feb 2013. See www.sunpowercorp.com/facts for details.

6“SunPower Module 40-Year Useful Life,” SunPower white paper. Feb 2013. Useful life is defined as 99 out of 100 panels operating at more than 70% of rated power.

UNMATCHED RELIABILITY 5

Extensive research indicates that SunPower panels can perform at

or near full efficiency for more than 40 years.6 This is considerably

beyond expected production for Conventional Panels. As years go

by and Conventional Panels degrade, SunPower panels continue to produce at an estimated 97% of rated power year after year.

panels powering the globe, SunPower has proven the durability and reliability of our panels. We credit our success to the unique design

of our patented SunPower® Maxeon® solar cell technology and our network of more than 2,000 expert partners whose top priority is

commitment to deliver the best solar experience in the market.

SunPower Maxeon Solar Cell Technology

The design of SunPower Maxeon solar cells is unique because each

cell is built on a solid copper foundation — providing the strength

and durability to survive conditions that panels are subjected to

year after year.

25 Years of Coverage Without Inconvenience

our technology. In the unlikely event you have an under-performing

panel, SunPower will work with our partners to repair or replace and

install it. With SunPower it’s as simple as a phone call.

SunPower Maxeon Solar Cell Technology

Non SunPower cells use a low-cost metal

paste on the front and back-sides to conduct

the power generated by the cell. SunPower

Maxeon cells are built on a solid copper

foundation. Our unique design handles the

additional power each cell generates, and

makes it practically immune to the cracking

and corrosion that causes standard solar

cells to steadily lose power over time or

fail completely.

WHAT SHOULD YOU ASK THE “OTHER” SOLAR GUYS?Do your panels come with a warranty and what does it cover?

How many years can I expect your panels to last?

Will the conduits be hidden or run on top of the roof?

How much power will your panels produce?

Are you Better Business Bureau accredited and what is your rating?

SunPower combines power and product coverage in an industry-best 25-year warranty. We offer the lowest guaranteed degradation rate in the industry of 0.4% per year and guarantee a minimum of 87% of your panels’ original performance in year 25, compared to the industry standard of 80%. SunPower by Sun Solar also guarantees our workmanship for 10 years. All of this means that you can feel confident that your investment will continue to pay off for decades to come.

Rated #1 in durability in third-party testing,1 no other home solar technology stands up to the elements better than SunPower, even in the most challenging conditions: hail, snow, extreme temperatures and hurricane-force winds. SunPower panels have a projected 40 year useful life, meaning you’ll enjoy solar savings to the middle of the century and beyond.21. #1 rank in "Fraunhofer PV Durability Initiative for Solar Modules: Part 3". PVTech Power, 2015.

2. “SunPower Module 40-Year Useful Life”, SunPower white paper. 2013. Useful life is 99 of 100 panels operating at more than 70% of rated power.

SunPower’s world record-setting high-efficiency panels1 produce more energy than conventional panels, which means customers need fewer panels and less roof space to generate the same amount of energy. In addition, SunPower’s panels are uniquely designed to perform better in low light, “waking up” earlier in the morning and “staying awake” later in the day,2 generating energy even when it’s cloudy or foggy outside. SunPower’s unique technology is built-to-last when conventional panels lose power with age. No other home solar technology converts more sunlight than SunPower, giving customers an incredible 70 percent more energy in the same space over 25 years,percent more energy in the same space over 25 years,3 resulting in more savings over time.1.

With SunPower® solar panels, customers can reduce their energy bills without sacrificing their home’s curb appeal. Our streamlined InvisiMount® racking systems gives the illusion of floating panels, and our AC Modules mean no wires on the roof. Whenever possible, all conduits are hidden and run through the attic to provide superior aesthetics. No other solar company offers such a beautifully-designed package that will complement the home and can also enhance the resale value.1

SunPower by Sun Solar is proud to be a Better Business Bureau accredited company with an A+ rating and no BBB customer complaints. This means you can feel confident that we are committed to complete customer satisfaction. With our free mobile app you can monitor your system’s performance and submit service requests 24/7.
