Product Details

Making the most out of your roof

  • Premium, high-quality materials boost sunlight capture​
  • Compact panel size maximises the utilisation of available roof space​
  • Industry-leading efficiency facilitates greater energy production for higher utility bill savings​
  • The industry’s lowest degradation rate ensures panels create more energy over time​
  • The industry’s longest warranty covers 10-15 years of additional energy production compared to other panels​

Engineered for the real world

  • Interconnection points are resilient against temperature-induced stresses that can crack cells​
  • An optimized electrical design ensures cells maintain a safe temperature in shade and avoid hotspots​
  • A durable frame design and heat-strengthened glass are resilient against hail, withstand high winds and heavy snow loads, and are protected from salt-mist corrosion near the coast​
  • A low temperature coefficient better maintains power and energy production in hot, sunny conditions​
  • Panels maximise light capture at dawn and dusk, and on cloudy days

A track record of success

  • 40+ years of innovation and leadership are packed into every SunPower M Class panel​
  • SunPower interdigitated back contact (IBC) technology has been the industry standard for 20+ years—pioneering the evolution toward back contact solutions ​
