Warranty
Only 1 in 20,000 panels are returned to us under warranty, that’s just 0.005% (or 50 parts per million). Our industry-best warranty covers the panel and its performance. And in the unlikely case you’ll ever need it, we make the return process very simple, so you can rest assured you’re your business will be supported for decades to come.
Maxeon solar panel for businesses - FAQs
How do Maxeon solar panels differ from Conventional Panels?
Maxeon panels also deliver greater peace of mind, having earned the trust of experts by being more reliable and durable - and backed by our industry-leading Complete Confidence Warranty. Not only is this warranty stronger, but unlike most conventional warranties, it is based on actual field-testing data. For example, the power warranty promises no more than a 0.25%/ year power drop. This is backed by a study of more than 230MW across 149 actual global sites using a methodology developed in collaboration with NREL. We also know from actual field data that only 0.005% or 1 in 20,000 Maxeon panels have been returned under warranty4 .Lastly, Maxeon panels are built with our customers in mind, which means higher sustainability standards and more elegant design aesthetics than Conventional Panels. Maxeon panels have pioneered sustainability efforts in solar manufacturing, and have been recognized with the prestigious Cradle to Cradle Certified™ designation for direct current (DC) panels. The Cradle to Cradle designation demonstrates the products' quality based on rankings of material health, material reutilization, renewable energy use, water stewardship, and social fairness.
Maxeon panels were also the first solar panel to disclose its ingredients through the Declare label. In March 2020, our Mexicali, Mexico manufacturing facility was re-certified by NSF Sustainability as Zero Waste to Landfill – and remains the only solar panel manufacturing facility to achieve this. The certification means that this facility diverts more than 99% of its waste, with 1% or less going to landfills.
The back-contact cell design of Maxeon panels also delivers an uncluttered and elegant design aesthetic – with panels available in black and white backsheets. This has made Maxeon panels the panel of choice for architects and designers.
How do Maxeon Performance solar panels differ from Maxeon® panel technology?
Maxeon® Performance solar panels use high efficiency mono PERC cells, as opposed to Maxeon's proprietary back contact technology developed for our Maxeon panels.
What is the typical performance advantage gained from using Maxeon panels?
A Maxeon solar panel delivers up to 25% more energy than a Conventional Panel in its first year of operation. In year 25, the difference would grow to about 35% more energy, for an average of 30% more energy during the first 25 years. Maxeon solar panels are predicted to have a useful life of more than 40 years.
How much do Maxeon panels cost?
With solar, as with many things, “you get what you pay for.” Not all solar systems are alike. The quality of the technology matters in the long run. The durability, reliability and efficiency of solar panels can vary widely by manufacturer. If you settle for Conventional Panels that might cost less out-of-pocket, you can expect to see average (or below average) results and less savings over time.
A higher quality panel like Maxeon might cost a little more up front, but you will see more predictable performance in the long run. Maxeon panels generate more energy, last longer, are backed by a stronger warranty, and are produced more sustainably than Conventional Panels. This means Maxeon panels will offset more of your electricity bill, saving you more, and do so with the peace of mind you expect from a top-quality product.
