Legend Solar is bringing SunPower’s Equinox to Utah

Legend Solar, in partnership with SunPower, is introducing the SunPower Equinox system to Utah homeowners. With a typical SunPower Equinox installation, only the solar panels and a Smart Energy management device are visible, reflecting SunPower’s minimalist architectural approach at the system level.

It is the first residential solar solution in the nation in which every major component has been designed and engineered by one company to work seamlessly together, delivering unbeatable power, long-term performance and curb appeal. We wrote about it originally here.

“Offering products like the innovative SunPower Equinox system allows us to provide the most advanced solar technology available to our customers,” said Shaun Alldredge, co-founder and co-owner of Legend Solar. “The new SunPower Equinox system simplifies the installation and operation of a homeowner’s system. Legend Solar’s experience in the marketplace and our superior service, combined with SunPower’s technology and industry-leading power and product warranty, deliver high-quality solar power solutions for Utah homeowners.”

Since 2012, Legend Solar has set the bar as Utah’s premier and fastest growing provider of solar power for businesses and homes. Launched in St. George, the company is now providing services throughout Utah, with expansion underway in Nevada and planned in Arizona, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Legend Solar is an Elite Dealer for SunPower.

Key SunPower Equinox elements and homeowner benefits include:

• High-efficiency SunPower solar panels, including the X22, which delivers greater than 22 percent efficiency and 70 percent more energy than conventional solar panels from the same space over 25 years.
• SunPower microinverters, which are integrated into each solar panel at SunPower’s factory rather than attached by hand on rooftops as with conventional solar systems. SunPower microinverters are specifically designed for SunPower panels, and enable each panel to operate at peak performance independently.
• The low-profile, all-black SunPower InvisiMount mounting system, engineered to be hidden beneath solar panels and hardly seen. It installs on rooftops quickly and easily due to its pre-assembled and intuitively designed components.
• SunPower’s EnergyLink ecosystem, a Smart Energy management platform that tracks energy production and consumption in real time. Preconfigured wiring inside expedites both system installation and commissioning. The software offers an intuitive user interface, empowering homeowners to set energy goals and take control of their energy future.

There’s also a 25-year product and power warranty for the entire solar array.

“The SunPower Equinox system is a game changer for home solar,” said Howard Wenger, SunPower president, business units. “This powerfully elegant solution produces 70 percent more energy with 70 percent fewer visible parts compared to conventional solar, and we’re backing it by the best combined power and product warranty in the industry.”
