HOW SOLAR WORKS
For over 20 years, SunPower has been leading the industry with advanced research and the most efficient technology available.
STEP 1:
COLLECTION
SunPower's streamlined, all-black panels collect sunlight throughout the day, automatically converting it into electricity. Because SunPower's panels produce up to 50% more energy than conventional PV panels, fewer are needed across your rooftop.
STEP 2:
CONVERSION
The electricity produced from your panels travels through the system to the SunPower inverter, where it's converted from DC to AC for household use.
STEP 3:
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
During daylight hours, as your panels produce more energy than your home needs, your electric meter spins backwards. This earns you credits from your local utility company in a process known as net metering. After dark, your home automatically retrieves that credited energy from the grid for normal use.
