How do solar panels work?
When sunlight strikes a solar cell, it dislodges electrons from atoms, creating an electric current. Connectors on the cell's positive and negative sides form an electrical circuit. This flow of electrons generates electricity. Solar panels consist of numerous cells, and you can connect multiple panels to create a solar array. The greater the number of panels you use, the more energy you can produce.
What are Solar Panels Made of?
PV solar panels are like puzzles made of tiny solar cells, enclosed in glass. These cells are made of silicon, a bit like computer chips. They have a positive part and a negative part that work together to make electricity, kind of like a battery. SunPower solar panels also have special adhesives and coatings to protect these cells and keep them working well even in different weather conditions.
What is the difference between High and Medium Cosmetic Quality?
Cells with a high cosmetic quality have slight color variations on the front side. After laminating, the color of the solar cells has a dark appearance even with a black background. Cells with a moderate cosmetic quality have some color variations on the front side. After laminating, the color variations on the cells became less obvious but are often still visible when inspected from short distances.
What is the MOQ for each cells and interconnection tabs (Purpose is to string the cell together)?
- Maxeon Gen 3: 1500pcs/box
- Maxeon Gen 5: 1200pcs/Box
- Interconnection tabs:1200pcs/box
How do SunPower Performance solar panels ensure better performance and reliability compared to conventional panels?
SunPower Performance solar panels combine conventional cells with SunPower's 39 years of materials and manufacturing expertise. This results in panels that surpass the performance, reliability, and aesthetics of conventional panels. The innovative shingled cell design, conductive adhesives developed for aerospace, and proprietary encapsulants all contribute to enhanced reliability and performance.
What happens during power outages?
Your system will automatically shut down. Safety requirements prohibit the system from producing electricity during a power outage or blackout, because there is a chance that the system could feed electricity into the electric grid while utility workers are accessing the grid. The system will restart automatically when power is restored.
