Solen Energy today announced a new partnership with SunPower, a leading manufacturer of high efficiency solar panels, to distribute SunPower® solar technology in the UK.
“As a leading wholesaler of solar energy systems, we see the partnership with SunPower as complementary to our portfolio,” said Solen Director of Sales Terry Hughes. “SunPower panels are ideal for maximizing the benefits that a solar power system has to offer” commented Mark Wilke, Solen Director of Finance.
Innovation is central to SunPower’s core, with solar technology developed and tested in Silicon Valley. SunPower’s X-Series solar panels offer higher efficiency and durability than conventional solar panels currently available on the market,1,2 providing homeowners more electricity over time. SunPowers innovative Maxeon® solar cells generate more energy than conventional solar cells, and are durable, even in extreme weather conditions.
“SunPower is proud to partner with Solen Energy due to their ability to promote value among their customers and their clear focus on customer satisfaction,” said Jim Dawe, VP and General Manager of SunPower in Europe. “We trust Solen to position SunPower appropriately and effectively in the market.”
SunPower backs its product with one of the industry's best product and performance guarantees of 25 years. Over this time period, SunPower customers can expect to receive up to 60 percent more energy in the same space compared to conventional solar panels3 - a savings potential that is already being taken advantage of in more than 500,000 homes worldwide.
SunPower panels are available for sale from Solen Energy.
1 Highest efficient panels available based on search of datasheet values from websites of top 10 manufacturers per IHS, as of January 2018.
2 SunPower panels ranked #1 in "Fraunhofer PV Durability Initiative for Solar Modules: Part 3". PVTech Power Magazine, 2015. Campeau, Z. et al. "SunPower Module Degradation Rate," SunPower white paper, 2013.
3 SunPower 360W compared to a Conventional Panel on same sized arrays (260W, 16% efficient, approx. 1.6 m2), 4% more energy per watt (based on PVSyst pan files), 0.75%/yr slower degradation (Campeau, Z. et al. "SunPower Module Degradation Rate," SunPower white paper, 2013.
