Maxeon Solar Panels: The Most Reliable Technology in Solar
In an era where demand for energy is increasing, solar power has rapidly gained traction as a reliable, cost-effective solution. Among the numerous solar panel options available on the market today, Maxeon’s flagship interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar panels stand above the rest for their proven performance, reliability, and long-term financial returns.
More Power, More Reliably, For Longer
Maxeon’s patented back contact cell design and module construction ensure that its solar panels outperform others in energy production over the long haul. Here’s how:
Production in Low Light and Shade: Maxeon panels are engineered to capture more sunlight during low-light conditions—early mornings, cloudy afternoons, and evenings—maximizing energy output throughout the day. And unlike many conventional panels, Maxeon’s optimized electrical design ensures cells maintain a safe temperature in shade, mitigating the risk of long-term panel damage from hotspots.
Resistance to Hail: Maxeon panels are IEC-certified to withstand hailstones up to 45 mm in diameter thanks to a robust protective frame and tempered glass that outperform many competing panels.
Durability in Extreme Weather: Maxeon’s patented cell design with thick cell connectors endure high heat, extreme cold, and temperature fluctuations without compromising performance.
Industry-Leading Longevity: Thanks to the lowest degradation rate in the industry, Maxeon panels retain their power advantage for up to 40 years. This means more energy production from day one and sustained performance for decades to come.
Third-Party Validation
Maxeon IBC panels have been regularly recognized as a Top Performer in the Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard. The annual Scorecard provides insights about the long-term reliability and performance of solar panels, identifying industry Top Performers in critical reliability tests including thermal cycling, damp heat, mechanical stress, and hail stress, among others.
The Best Warranty in Solar
Maxeon stands apart from others with its comprehensive 40-year warranty. This industry-first coverage includes power, product, and service provisions for complete peace of mind. Key features include:
Longer product protection: With an impressive track record of reliability, Maxeon panels are supported by a 40-year warranty on workmanship and materials – 10 to 15 years longer than most solar panels.
Transferable Coverage: Even when replacing your roof or selling your home, the warranty provides continuous protection.
Guaranteed Power Output: Maxeon offers leading warranted power output protection—88.3% of the original power rating at year 40.
An Aesthetic Advantage
In addition to peak performance, Maxeon panels look better than anything else on the market. The sleek, all-black design integrates seamlessly with any roof—offering a stylish and unobtrusive energy solution for homeowners. Furthermore, since Maxeon panels produce more energy in less space, system owners can maximize their energy output without compromising on design.
