Not sure there was any doubt in this case, but it never hurts to secure solar module supply these days: SunPower Corp. extended its supply relationship with Maxeon Solar Technologies through 2025.
“This supply agreement solidifies our long-term relationship with Maxeon and further secures the supply of premium panels for our expanding customer base,” said Peter Faricy, SunPower CEO. “Demand for solar continues to increase alongside the desire for clean, affordable and reliable energy, and SunPower is well positioned to capture this growth with trusted products and unmatched customer experience.”
Maxeon is known for its high efficiency interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar panels. Under the new supply agreement, Maxeon expects to sell additional volumes of its Maxeon 6 panels (marketed in the U.S. and Canada under the SunPower brand as M-Series) to SunPower on an exclusive basis.
SunPower will also have the right to negotiate supply of future IBC next generation technology developed by Maxeon, which would enable SunPower to continue to provide homeowners the highest efficient solar technology available to date.
Meanwhile, this cements a framework for future collaboration as Maxeon develops its next generation technology and increases capacity.
“The high retail power prices seen in 2022, which look likely to continue into 2023, have created an environment where more and more consumers are realizing the benefits of top-quality rooftop solar,” said Mark Babcock, Maxeon interim CEO.
M-Series solar panels are among the most efficient solar panels available for homeowners, optimized to capture more sunlight in less space than competitive products. Available nationwide, M-Series panels come in multiple designs to match each homeowner’s aesthetic preferences.
