Solar Panels FAQs
What are home energy insights?
When you store your solar energy with SunPower Reserve, the SunPower One app helps you make the most of it. Unlike regular PV monitoring apps, it focuses on your whole home - revealing how you use energy, including your most power-hungry devices. It translates kilowatts into more relatable money and carbon savings. You also get tips for changes you can make to further reduce your energy bills.
What is the typical performance advantage gained from using SunPower Performance panels?
We built the Performance solar panels for high reliability, high efficiency and low degradation—driving an estimated 8% more energy yield in a fixed space over the first 30 years of operation when compared to Conventional mono PERC Panels1.
What is the typical cost advantage of using SunPower Performance panels?
Update answer to: SunPower Performance solar panels are the premium value option offered by SunPower Corporation Australia.. Although Performance solar panels may be priced above most standard panels, this differential is reflected in high-quality materials, superior technology, and experienced manufacturing. While the initial investment is often higher, Performance solar panels offer long-term cost advantages through reliable energy production, a long lifespan, and minimal product and power defects. This translates to lower maintenance costs and consistent energy output over decades, making Performance solar panels a low-risk investment offering substantial value over time.
How do SunPower Performance 7 solar panels compare to standard panels?
SunPower Performance 7 solar panels are different in many ways, they offer a combination of innovative technology and superior construction not seen in standard panels. One-third cut TOPCon shingled-cell technology is used to create high-efficiency Performance 7 solar panels, resulting in better sunlight capture than standard solar panels with lower efficiency. This translates to high power and reliable energy output, reducing electricity costs for customers. Additionally, the bifacial design allows energy generation from both sides of the panel, further optimising output and enabling solar design flexibility.
Performance 7 solar panels are built to last. Using high-quality materials, they feature a glass-glass construction that shields them from harsh weather conditions. The flexible cell interconnections enable the panel to withstand temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent energy production over the panel's lifespan. A low annual degradation rate helps Performance 7 solar panels to maintain their high-efficiency rate over time, whilst a low-temperature coefficient, guarantees optimal solar production even in hot climates. Experienced engineering and clever panel design incorporate strong shade management, offering resilience to a variety of shading scenarios that can detrimentally impact overall energy production. Performance 7 solar panels offer dependable energy output, durability, and long-term reliability not seen in standard panels.
Are there different types of SunPower Performance solar panels?
Since 2015, SunPower Performance panels have been deployed across 60+ countries. Performance solar panels are generally segmented by application, and you will see Performance panel variants suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Additionally, there have been a number of SunPower Performance solar panel generations over the years. However, the two most prominent SunPower Performance generations in the market today are:
- SunPower Performance 6
Mono PERC cell technology | Residential and Commercial panels | 25-year warranty - SunPower Performance 7
TOPCon cell technology | Residential and Commercial panels | 30-year warranty
