Performance 8

Introducing Performance 8!

Your Performance 8, smaller but mightier with advanced enhanced certifications and increased power output!

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!

The next evolution of solar cells

SunPower Performance 8 combines one-third cut cells, shingled cell technology and a dual-glass structure to deliver greater energy generation, reliability and durability compared with traditional front-contact panels.

To further enhance durability, the cells are protected by a premium encapsulant, which provides excellent moisture resistance and weather protection. Its resistance to water and humidity helps protect the cells from environmental exposure and supports reliable energy production, particularly in harsh operating conditions.

By combining advanced cell technology with enhanced protection against environmental and operating stresses, SunPower Performance 8 is designed to optimise energy generation while supporting reliable, long-term performance, even in challenging environmental and low light conditions.
