TRUSTED SOLAR SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR HOME. Since 1985 SunPower has been leading global solar innovation. SunPower solar panels consistently deliver more energy and long-term peace of mind with the highest performing solar power systems available. What brand of panels are being recommended for your roof? SunPower is Peace of Mind 100% focus on solar More than a quarter century of industry leadership Offers the best Combined Power and Product Warranty Over 7 million panels installed across the globe in every climate imaginable Financially Sound, Stable Company Multi-billion dollar publicly traded company Based in the United States with headquarters in Silicon Valley Majority shareholder is Total S.A., the world s 11th largest company 1 Globally diversified with more than 5,500 employees An investment in solar is a long-term economic investment (25-years plus), it pays not to take shortcuts. It s important to ask questions before making a 25-year solar investment, such as: - Who is the solar panel manufacturer? - How efficient are the panels? - How much energy will the system produce? - How long is the warranty cover? 1.

SUNPOWER MAXEON SOLAR CELL grid lines on the front of the cell allows more sunlight to be adsorbed and looks incredible of your roof. Solid copper foundation adds massive strength and prevents corrosion. Ultra pure silicon delivers optimal power conversion. ALL SOLAR PRODUCTS ARE NOT EQUAL. Our Maxeon solar cell is fundamentally different, and dramatically better. With its unique copper foundation, our cell delivers unmatched reliability and allows us to build the highest efficiency solar panels you can buy for your roof. 1 SunPower Maxeon Cell Technology Maxeon solar cells are fundamentally better. More power and reliability from back contact cell design SunPower is currently manufacturing its third-generation solar cell with efficiencies of up to 24 percent SunPower E-Series panels deliver 31% more power per square foot 2 Built using durable solid copper foundation SunPower panels offer premium aesthetics and highest efficiency Real-WORLD Reliability SunPower solar systems are meticulously designed and tested to stand up to the harshest conditions; temperature swings, battering winds, humidity, hail, and more. That s why our solar panels perform consistently for well over 25 years. 1. Highest of over 3,200 silicon solar panels, Photon Module Survey, Feb 2014 2. SunPower 327W panel vs. Conventional Panel (250W, 15.3% efficient, approx. 1.6 m2)

SUNPOWER PANELS GIVE YOU MORE OPTIONS. SunPower high efficiency solar technology is the best choice for space-constrained rooftops. With higher energy production per square metre you need less roof space to achieve your electricity production goals. What is the efficiency rating of the panels being recommended for your home? More Flexibility Compared to a Conventional Panel, a SunPower panel produces 60% more energy over the first 25 years. 1 Offset more of your bill today and have room to expand later Increase potential flexibility for electric car charging or future family and home additions Elegance and Efficiency SunPower panels mean you don t have to sacrifice aesthetics for high performance. Create more power in smaller spaces, making panel placement easier Smaller footprints are an attractive solution that also meets goals of offsetting electricity costs SUNPOWER PANELS ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT ON THE MARKET SunPower panels convert more sunlight into electricity than any other panel. 21% 20% 20.4% This means you can produce the same amount of energy, compared to Conventional Panels, in a smaller space. Or you can produce far more energy from the same footprint on your roof.

More Electricity = More savings. SunPower solar panels are designed to wake up earlier, work harder, and turn off later in the day. So you can make the most of abundant solar energy and the vast savings it brings. What will the estimated electricity production of the system be in years one, ten and twenty-five? More Electricity Today SunPower panels produce more electricity than other leading brands; this can translate into more savings for you. More electricity at sunrise and sunset, and on cloudy days More electricity throughout the day with better energy conversion across the light spectrum More electricity at high temperatures More Electricity OVER THE LONG-TERM SunPower solar panels, have an important advantage when first exposed to real world conditions. Conventional Panels suffer from light-induced degradation, reducing system power by 2-3% continuously, for the life of the system 1 SunPower solar panels have zero light-induced degradation, ensuring you get everything you pay for 1 MOST ENERGY PER WATT PHOTON 2012 FIELD TEST INDEPENDENT TESTS SHOW SUNPOWER PRODUCES THE MOST ELECTRICITY (kwh) Energy Yield Results 2012 1,200 1,144 1,140 1,139 SunPower panels produce more electricity (kilowatt-hours) than Conventional Panels.
