See how Maxeon’s IBC solar cell technology vastly outperforms standard cells in stressful conditions.

Cheap solar panels just can’t match the real-world track record of the Maxeon solar panel for customer performance and value over the long haul.

Cracked cells in standard panels can occur from transport, installation, environmental stresses, and even poor manufacturing quality. Maxeon cells are reinforced by a thick plated layer of metal for added structural strength. If a crack forms, the metal backing holds the cell in place while maintaining full electrical conductivity.

It takes just a little bit of shade to impact the power output of a solar panel. Standard solar panels typically activate bypass diodes to counter the obstruction—shutting down an entire section of the panel to mitigate heat build-up—sacrificing energy generation in the process. Maxeon panels offer greater resilience to shade, powering through small obstructions with only a slight reduction in power output.

The unique design of Maxeon panels not only features an engineered encapsulant that is highly resistive to moisture, but thick, plated copper which is much more robust and able to better withstand corrosion.

Maxeon solar panels feature thick, plated copper contacts for long-term stability. Each tab offers redundant connections with built in strain relief, to ensure a consistent flow of energy while having the flexibility to expand and contract with temperature changes.

Shaded Maxeon cells demonstrate lower heat generation, that is more evenly spread across the entire cell. As such, the diodes in Maxeon panels activate less frequently, increasing both energy production and useful life of the panel.
