SunPower solar technology was originally developed by Dr. Richard Swanson, former Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, and his students. In 1985, Dr. Swanson founded SunPower Corp. and it has since become the undisputed leader in the solar industry.

What makes SunPower panels so great?

They produce up to 50% more power per square foot than conventional cells.Their efficiency is 18.1%, the highest commercially available for residential use.

Solar panels are unattractive…aren’t they?

This is common complaint that many people have when considering installing solar. Not so with the newer generation of panels. The SunPower 225 and 210 Solar Panels are available in all-black and blend in well with the roof. Their elegant design and superior engineering means more performance on less space.

SunPower’s high-performance inverters are also designed to work specifically with their panels, ensuring that customers capture the maximum amount of solar energy from their roofs.

Tom Werner, CEO of SunPower Corporation commented about this new building,”[It] enables us to manufacture the world’s highest-efficiency solar cells while reducing the carbon footprint by 50 percent compared to other buildings of this size.”
