The Performance range, or P-series, is SunPower’s signature module range. First introduced in 2015, Performance has built an impressive track record, powering homes, businesses and large-scale solar projects, including Limondale Solar Farm in NSW (349MW) and Gemini Solar Farm, in Nevada, USA (967MW). Over the years, Performance has continued to evolve, with enhanced capabilities, certifications and proven reliability. Performance 8 continues that legacy, engineered to perform in some of the toughest conditions. With over 2.8 million Performance modules sold in Australia and New Zealand since launch, it’s performance you can choose with confidence!

While traditional PERC solar cells have dominated the market, a new contender has emerged: TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact). This cutting-edge technology is the next evolution of the solar industry, with its high efficiency and specifications that enable strong solar generation.
SunPower Performance 7 combines one-third cut cells, shingled cell technology and a dual-glass structure, engineered to deliver greater energy generation, reliability and durability compared with traditional front-contact panels. Its highly efficient bifacial cells capture more available sunlight from both sides of the panel, supporting enhanced energy generation across a range of conditions.
The cell is protected by a premium encapsulant, it excels in protecting solar panels with its superior durability and weather proofing. It boasts exceptional moisture resistance, keeping out harmful water and humidity-induced moisture, boosting long term production (especially in harsh environments).

Power, Product & Service coverage for 30 years.
SunPower panels are manufactured for long-term durability, covering defects related to workmanship and materials for a full 30 years, versus some manufacturers that can go as low as 12 years on their warranty.
SunPower panels also account for the repair, replacement or refund of any defective panel for 30 years, with removal, shipping and installation included in Australia and New Zealand.
All our warranties abide by Australian Consumer Law and New Zealand Consumer Guatantees Act.


High predictable energy yield.
Smaller cells create shorter electrical pathways, reducing resistance and minimising energy losses. The one-third cut cell design also improves partial-shading tolerance, limiting the impact of shading on overall panel performance while reducing the risk of hotspot formation.
The overlapping shingles eliminate inactive "dead zones" between cells, capturing more light and boosting overall panel output. This translates directly to increased energy production. Unlike standard half cut panels, where shading across a single cell can significantly impact output, shingled panels’ more independent cells minimise power loss in shaded areas.
The materials used in the encapsulant excel in protecting solar panels with its superior durability and weather proofing. It boasts exceptional moisture resistance, keeping out harmful water and humidity-induced moisture boosting long-term production.
The shingled-cell design helps to manage shade and keep cell temperatures low. Panels that can handle shade and keep cells cooler can produce more power and are a safer option long-term.
Performance 7 modules are a robust glass-glass construction. Their double layered glass construction enhances durability, safeguarding against environmental factors, installation stresses and ensures a longer lifespan.
The metal wires that can be seen on Performance panels connect each overlapping shingled-cell. This forms a strong but flexible cell interconnect which helps mitigate ribbon failure and cell cracking generally caused by thermal cycling or excessive movement. The wires are flattened at the cell interconnect point to form a flexible joint. This provides reliability advantages over standard panels.
At SunPower Australia, our mission is simple: accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific while creating positive outcomes for our communities and the environment.
We recognise that strong ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) leadership is a continous journey. Thats why we invest in the people, processes and resources needed to drive meaningful and lasting progress.
Our commitment to responsible business practices is reflected in our alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, comprehensive supplier due diligence and responsible sourcing practices. Supported by vertically integrated manufacturing from ingot to module, we deliver high-performance, reliable solar solutions backed by more than 5,500 solar patents, while maintaining strong oversight across our supply chain.


TOPCon cells outperform previous technologies, meaning you can generate more power from the same amount of sunlight.

The cell design makes them more resistant to efficiency losses caused by heat and light. Resulting in better long-term solar production in real-world conditions.

Standard cells lose efficiency more rapidly over time, TOPCon cells boast impressively low degradation rates. This translates to higher energy output over a longer period.
