MORE ELECTRICITY

Solar systems are often described in terms of watts or kilowatts, however, the most important factor to consider is the amount of electricity the system actually produces. This is measured in kilowatt-hours.

Major Companies Turn to SunPower

SunPower panels convert more sunlight into electricity than Conventional Panels. This means you can produce the same amount of energy, compared to competitors, in a smaller space. Or you can produce far more energy from the same footprint on your roof.
