SunPower Solar Information Review
SunPower Solar is a public (SPWR) solar manufacturing company headquartered in San Jose California with manufacturing operations being handled in the Philippines. In recent news SunPower has announced product development on a new panel system with 23.4% efficiency! That's way above the industry average of between 12% and 20% at the highest end. Unfortunately for home owners this high efficiency panel is only available for businesses at the moment.
Efficiency aside, SunPower is known for having some of the most aesthetically pleasing solar panels on the market that feature an "all black" look that blends nicely with most dark shingles. In contrast, many solar panels have a grid of silver lacing and diamond shapes running through the panel layout as shown in the comparison below. In addition to the two looks offered by SunPower, there are three levels of technology ranging from lower efficiency (and more affordable) to high efficiency panels that cost more but save space, weight, and installation costs. The models are called 205, 210, and 215 with more details available at the Sun Power website here.
SunPower is known for delivering professional results at an affordable price nation wide and they partner with local installers in nearly every US state to provide a free site evaluation so it's definitely worth checking out and their number is toll free 1-800-SUNPOWER (786-7693). Their stock price has been bouncing around a little bit recently but as one of the big players in the space we are confident in their continued success and have seen several SunPower installations go in right near downtown Mountain View, CA where Solar Power Authority is based.
