Effectively absorb different wavelengths of light to generate more electricity
Perform better at high temperatures than others.
Maintain efficiency during initial break-in. This is known as light induced degradation. Most other
panels lose 3% efficiency when first exposed to sunlight in their first few hours, not Sunpower.

2010s
Through constant innovation and new partnerships, Sunpower reaches new heights to
become a global leader in the solar industry. Sunpower Customers include
2000s
This decade was filled with many accomplishments and milestones for Sunpower. The
company became publicly listed on the NYSE with CEO Tom Werner taking the company
to new levels. Sunpower set new world records in solar cell efficiency.
1990s
In the 1990s, Sunpower received initial funding from Associate Venture Investors and
Technology Funding and an R&D contract from EPRI and US DOE. Sunpower solar
technology was used to power some of the most innovative applications for solar power
race cars and airplanes.
1980s
By 1985, Dr. Swanson (who by then was a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford)
had been awarded grants from the Electric Power Research Institute and the U.S.
Department of Energy to support his solar power explorations. With the help of these funds
as well as financial support from two venture capital firms Sunpower was officially
incorporated.
1970s
Record of solar innovation began nearly four decades ago, when Sunpowers co-founder,
Dr. Richard Swanson, was pondering ways to deal with the oil crisis. At that time, solar cells
were being used on satellites, a concept he found intriguing. His engineering challenge
was to figure out how to make the cells more cost-effective. So he began a quest that,
almost 40 years later, has helped position Sunpower as a leader in residential, commercial
and utility-scale solar power production.

Energy Independence
Environmental Benefits
Solar panels offset the pollution generated to create them in approximately 1 year
Zero fuel required and zero emissions from a solar system
Reduce our use of dirty electricity from burning coal, natural gas, and oil
Use solar power to offset unnecessary uses of fossil fuels
General Benefits
Reduce peak loading on the grid which reduces wear and tear on the transmission
and distribution equipment, as peak loading of the grid occurs during peak
production of solar energy

issue, SunPower E-Series
dominate the PHOTON 2012
yield test decisively. With
performance ratios between
94.8 and 95.2 percent, the
Sunpower E-Series modules
seem to have entered a new
dimension.
ABOUT PHOTON
PHOTON is the worlds
preeminent authority on testing
the power and performance of
solar panels in the field. Based
in Aachen, Germany, PHOTON
Laboratory performs professional, long-term yield measurements on an outdoor test field.
Since 2009, PHOTON has
conducted more than 6,000
detailed solar panel tests focusing on yield measurements in
standard conditions.
With over 130 different types
of modules from 90 national
and international manufacturers, PHOTON claims to be the
largest and the most accurate to
date in carrying out published
test comparisons.
