Engineered for Peace of Mind
Designed to deliver consistent, trouble-free
energy over a very long lifetime. 3,4
Designed for Durability
The SunPower Maxeon Solar Cell is the only cell
built on a solid copper foundation. Virtually
impervious to the corrosion and cracking that
degrade conventional panels. 3
Same excellent durability as E-Series panels.
#1 Rank in Fraunhofer durability test.9
100% power maintained in Atlas 25+
comprehensive durability test.10
Highest Efficiency5
Generate more energy per square foot
X-Series residential panels convert more sunlight to electricity by producing
38% more power per panel1 and 70% more energy per square foot over 25
years.1,2,3
Highest Energy Production6
Produce more energy per rated watt
High year-one performance delivers 8–10% more energy per rated watt.2
This advantage increases over time, producing 21% more energy over the
first 25 years to meet your needs.3
