Maxeon solar cell technology

IBC_Interdigitated Back Contact_Rendering

Your next project deserves the most powerful, durable cells.

SunPower Maxeon cells have redefined the boundaries of solar for almost 40 years. They are the heart of our industry-leading solar panels but can also be used independently in all kinds of applications from space to sea.
Pushing

Powerful

Maxeon cells create unparalleled energy output thanks to our patented design, industry-leading efficiency and high-quality manufacturing processes.
Shield Protection

Durable

Built to meet challenges: Engineered for extremes, Maxeon solar cells power through all kinds of weather extremes, including heat, rain, snow, hail and salt mist, so you’ve got power when and where you need it.

Sleek

The back contact design of the Maxeon solar cell technology allows a seamless appearance on the surface of the cell, and actually enables the cell to capture more light than front contact cells.

Product details

IBC-Maxeon-Cell-Sunpower

Highest recorded efficiency

  • Up to 24.9% certified efficiency
  • Highest quality materials and production (n type silicon, patented cell design) converts more sunlight earlier in the day, later in the afternoon and in cloudy conditions
  • Innovative smaller size wafer (125mm) adaptable for wider range of applications

Trusted durability

  • Durable cell design flexes when others break. The metal backing protects the cell in fluctuating temperatures and conforms to curved surfaces, such as arched rooftops
  • Solid metal foundation prevents cracks to keep energy flowing and prevents damage from water, harsh salt mist or destructive damp heat.
  • Versatility to perform in many lamination processes (such as glass-glass, composite, polycarbonate)

Maxeon solar cells FAQs

I see Maxeon cells for sale on the internet. Are these sales by Maxeon Solar Technologies also?

These are not Maxeon Solar Technologies sales sites. We cannot guarantee the effectiveness or safety of those cells.

How can I attach the Interconnection tabs to the cells?

There are a number of methods but often cell customers use a soldering iron. Also we have an instruction guide that explains how to connect the cell and tabs so feel free to contact us from the inquiry page.

Is there any instruction guide so that I can use it safely?

Yes, we have an instruction guide to share so feel free to contact us from inquiry.

What is the difference between High and Medium Cosmetic Quality?

Cells with a high cosmetic quality have slight color variations on the front side. After laminating, the color of the solar cells has a dark appearance even with a black background. Cells with a moderate cosmetic quality have some color variations on the front side. After laminating, the color variations on the cells became less obvious but are often still visible when inspected from short distances.
