SunPower solar panels

Use SunPower solar panels to harvest 35% more solar energy from your roof
SunPower solar panels are the most powerful solar panels you can find on the market. Not every solar panel is made equal: there are major technical differences between brands that affect life span, degradation and power output. If you would like to buy SunPower solar panels we'll be happy to give you advice about your options.

    Discover the benefits of SunPower solar panels

    Move your mouse over the yellow dots

    SunPower panels have a solid copper base plate, ensuring strength and protection against corrosion by the elements
    SunPower Black solar panels are aesthetic and sleek
    The Anti-Reflective glass guarantees maximum yield even on cloudy days
    There are no visible grid lines on the panel. The SunPower Maxeon cells use back contact conductors, so that they can absorb more sunlight
    The panel frames are made of advanced aluminium capable of withstanding even the strongest wind
    The panel has thick connectors that can deal with the expansion and retraction caused by daily temperature changes

    Maximum yield

    Do you want to get the maximum yield out of your roof? It's important to look at the yield per square meter of surface area. SunPower solar panels deliver 35% more power than standard solar panels over the duration of 25 years on the same surface area. That means that you can generate more power on a smaller surface with SunPower solar panels.

    Best in class

    SunPower solar panels always get the best results in solar panel comparisons. We looked into how well SunPower scores in terms of power and efficiency, aesthetics, warranty conditions and quality. In all aspects SunPower beats the competition hands down!

    Value for money

    SunPower panels require a slightly bigger investment than other brands. It's important to not just look at the cost per panel, but at the total cost of the installation. If you choose high power panels such as SunPower, you need fewer panles, and therefore less mounting material and labour to get to a similar amount of power.

    The best warranty

    SunPower offers a unique 40 year warranty, which is a combination of power and product warranty for SunPower solar panels. If, in spite of the high quality standards, any issue arises with the panel, then you have the certainty of a comprehensive warranty coverage. However, the solid copper foundation of the panels guarantees unsurpassed quality with very little risk of failure.

    Reduced loss of power

    SunPower suffer much lower rates of degradation than any other brand of solar panel. That means that their output power stays at a higher level, with the difference increasing year on year. This isn't just what SunPower says; we investigated the claim and found it to be true. Lower degradation plus and higher effiency means SunPower solar panles produce 35% more energy over their expected life span!

    Manufactured sustainably

    SunPower commits itself to create solar panels that are as sustainable as the energy they produce. SunPower achieves this aim by buying locally where they can, and re-using material used for the production of SunPower solar panels. More information about SunPower's advanced production methods can be found on their website.

      Innovative cell technology

      What makes the SunPower solar panel so powerful is the Maxeon technology. This highly innovative technology ensures that the SunPower solar cell is 50% more efficient than a standard solar cell. In concrete terms, this means that a SunPower solar cell is much better at converting sunlight into solar energy than a regular solar cell. This means that you need fewer panels to produce the same amount of solar energy and therefore achieve the highest efficiency.

      Very high reliability

      In addition, the copper foundation of the solar cell ensures increased reliability. This increased reliability means that the solar cell is less vulnerable to extreme weather, for example, and therefore breaks down less quickly. Tests have shown that only 1 in 20,000 SunPower solar panels shows defects. So you can enjoy your high-efficiency solar panels for a long time.

      sunpower performance decrease

      Hardly any performance degradation

      With conventional solar cells, the performance of the solar cell decreases over time. This is often caused by corrosion and wear. However, the unique design of the SunPower solar cell eliminates 85% of all causes of performance degradation in solar cells. This is confirmed by our research into the performance degradation of solar panels. As a result, you can enjoy excellent performance and cost savings for much longer.

      Product and power warranty

      The attention that SunPower puts into technology, innovation and product optimisation is reflected in the warranties that it provides. SunPower was the first in the market to provide a double 40-year guarantee on its solar panels. This means that you get a 40-year guarantee on the power of the solar panel (power warranty) and on the solar panel itself (product warranty).

      Frequently Asked Questions about SunPower Solar Panels

      How good are SunPower solar panels?

      SunPower solar panels are the most efficient solar panels available on the market. The panels score better than conventional panels when it comes to efficiency, price-quality ratio, performance in challenging conditions and warranties. In addition, SunPower panels degrade less, which ultimately results in a 35% higher efficiency.

      Where does SunPower come from?

      SunPower is a manufacturer of solar panels and solar cells from California, United States. SunPower's technology is developed by Maxeon Solar Technologies. The company now has several locations around the world.

      Can Zonnefabriek SunPower install solar panels?

      Yes, Zonnefabriek is a SunPower Elite Partner. This is the highest possible partner level of SunPower. It means that we are a certified SunPower installer and deliver exceptionally good performance in the areas of quality, service and customer satisfaction.

      What is the influence of temperature on solar panels?

      Solar panels produce more power at lower temperatures and less at higher temperatures. Many solar panels therefore peak on cold but sunny spring days, rather than hot summer days.

      What are the best solar panels for me?

      For most people, it is important to get the most return on their investment. Investing in solar panels is expensive, so it is best to do it right the first time.

      What about warranties?

      A solar panel installation is covered by multiple warranties. There are warranties for the various components of the system, and for the installation as a whole. SunPower solar panels have a unique product warranty of 40 years.

      What are the dimensions of solar panels?

      Most solar panels currently on the market have a length between 1.70 meters and 1.90 meters and a width of around 1 meter.

      Are there toxic substances in solar panels?

      There are certain types of solar panels that use the harmful metals cadmium and lead. Zonnefabriek, however, only installs crystalline solar panels, the main component of which is silicon (sand), and which are lead-free. In addition, inverter manufacturer SMA has its own recycling program and SunPower has a so-called 'cradle to cradle' certification. Finally, all manufacturers of the solar panels that Zonnefabriek installs participate in the PV-Cycle program.

      What about recycling solar panels?

      For the solar panels that Zonnefabriek installs, the manufacturers are all affiliated with the PV-Cycle initiative. The PV-Cycle program was set up with foresight by a number of partners, including SunPower, to ensure that ‘decomposed’ solar panels do not end up on a large waste mountain.
