Solar Star
At 747 MW, the largest solar power plant in the USA was developed, designed and built by SunPower for BHE Solar, a subsidiary of BHE Renewables, in 2015.
Solar for power plants
Proven panel technology for today's solar power plants
Over the course of our 40+ years in solar, our panels have been installed in more than 5 GW of solar power plants across 6 continents, enabling insightful relationships with some of the world’s most sophisticated utilities, developers and EPCs. This includes The Gemini Project, 690 MW, one of the largest solar and storage projects in the world developed by Primergy Solar. Upon completion, it will be one of the largest operational solar power system in the U.S.
A Legacy of innovation
Successfully delivering a solar power plant is complicated. We know, because we’ve spent a lot of time designing, developing, constructing and operating some of the largest solar power plant installations around the world.
Ultimate reliability
Reliability is more critical than ever to realizing the LCOE benefits of today’s large-format, high-power solar panels. SunPower Performance panels are engineered to mitigate the detrimental effects of real-world operation of solar plants.
Quality materials
SunPower technology uses unique materials to decrease or eliminate power loss
Uniquely engineered for large-scale solar power plant installations
The innovative shingled cell design of SunPower Performance panels delivers more energy, and savings, over traditional front contact panels. With more than 7 GW deployed across 60+ countries, SunPower Performance panels are the leading shingle cell panel on the market today and the ideal choice for solar power plants.

Reliability is more critical than ever to realising the LCOE benefits of today’s large-format, high-power solar panels. SunPower Performance panels are engineered to mitigate the detrimental effects of real-world operation of solar plants. Learn how SunPower technology uses unique materials to decrease or eliminate power loss from:
- Breakdown of soldered cell connections
- Cell cracking
- Debris shading and soiling
- Potential Induced Degradation (PID)
- Hotspots, and more
Panel choice matters in solar power plants
Scalable manufacturing to meet a growing demand
The latest generation of shingled cell technology builds upon years of design and engineering innovation, while rapidly scaling manufacturing to meet demand from solar power plant EPCs and developers around the globe. SunPower technology was recognised with the first annual Sustainability Award from pv magazine. We strive to continue producing panels as clean as the energy they produce.
