Superior Solar Electricity Production

A watt is not always a watt!

Solar systems are often described in terms of the amount of power they are capable of producing in a given instant (measured in watts or kilowatts). The most important factor to take into account when comparing residential solar systems, however, is the amount of actual electricity the system is expected to generate during its lifetime (measured in kilowatt-hours). When compared to other brands, SunPower high efficiency solar panels produce the most electricity in a wide range of conditions over the lifetime of the solar system.

More Electricity in Real-World Conditions

• SunPower panels outperform others early in the morning, late in the day, and on cloudy days.
• They effectively absorb different wavelengths of light to generate more electricity.
• They perform better at high temperatures than others. Because they're more efficient at converting light into electricity (and not heat), the hotter it gets outside, the better they perform compared to the competition.
• They maintain efficiency during initial break-in. Most panels lose 3% efficiency when first exposed to sunlight. Not SunPower.
