SunPower to unveil X-Series residential solar panel at Intersolar

SunPower-Headquarters

SunPower will introduce its X-Series residential solar panel – powered by SunPower Maxeon solar cells — this week during Intersolar Europe in Munich, Germany.

SunPower’s X-Series residential solar panel — at 370-watts and 22.7-percent efficiency — is the most efficient solar panel that customers can buy for their home today.

“Building on over 30 years of experience and more than 9 gigawatts of solar generating clean energy worldwide, SunPower continues to raise the bar with record-setting solar technology,” said Gabi Bunea, SunPower vice president, research and development.

SunPower said the 370-watt X-Series solar panel offers 60 percent more power than traditional solar panel from the same amount of roof space over 25 years. It takes 15 SunPower panels to produce as much energy as 22 conventional panels.

SunPower said its solar panels are impervious to the corrosion and cracking that typically degrade conventional panels allowing the company to offer an industry-leading 25-year Combined Power and Product Warranty.

“In Europe, our customers expect high-quality, proven technology, and we’re meeting those demands with SunPower’s record-setting solar panels,” said Chris de Jong, director of Netherlands’ Isogoed Duurzaam Besparen and one of SunPower’s 1,400 installation partners operating around the world.

SunPower is expanding its suite of residential solar solutions for homeowners in EMEA and parts of APAC with the P-19 Series (P-19) solar panel offering 19 percent efficiency, which is currently available to commercial customers in select APAC markets.

P-19 uses monocrystaline PERC solar cells to generate up to 32 percent more energy in the same space over 25 years when compared to conventional panels. The P-19 solar panel is a lower cost option compared to SunPower’s E-Series and X-Series panels.
