SunPower, a solar energy and technology provider headquartered in San Jose, California, recently introduced its X-Series solar panels, a new product line for the residential market.
The X-Series delivers more energy, higher reliability and superior aesthetics than conventional solar panels. The new world-record efficiency of this product line has received third-party validation by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
“Customers have already ordered more than 400 of the X-Series panels and RevoluSun project developers will begin installing them in the next few weeks,” said Eric Carlson, RevoluSun principal. “More power per panel means fewer panels to purchase, a smaller roof footprint, quicker installation time, and lower mounting hardware cost.”
The same size as a standard 240-watt panel, the X-Series produces a mammoth 345 watts in the same footprint. Ideal for roofs where space is at a premium or where future expansion might be needed, X-Series panels are designed for demanding conditions such as partial shade or hot rooftop temperatures.
X-Series solar panels deliver 44 percent more power per panel than conventional panels. This allows the system to create more power in a smaller footprint, with fewer panels. X-Series solar panels produce more electricity than conventional panels. They convert more sunlight to electricity, producing 75 percent more energy per square foot during the first 25 years.
SunPower offers the best combined 25-year power and product warranty. The X-Series panels are made with third-generation SunPower Maxeon solar cells, which are built on a solid copper foundation delivering unmatched performance and reliability over the lifetime of the solar energy system.
The associated labor and transportation costs for customers whose solar panels were installed by RevoluSun, an authorized SunPower dealer, are covered. The new warranty is also written in plain, simple terms that detail the coverage.
