| SunPower begins shipments of new solar panels SunPower Corporation announced volume shipments of its new line of industry-leading solar panels. This next generation line of products comprises panels rated at 220, 215 and 95 watts respectively, and is designed to maximize energy production from a limited solar array footprint in residential, commercial, and remote power applications. The new line of solar panels, SPR-220, SPR-215 and SPR-95, offers efficiencies of up to 17.7%, producing up to 50% more power in a given roof area compared to conventional solar panels, while reducing installation costs per unit of power. The SPR-215 panel incorporates the company's uniquely attractive, all-black design that enhances the appearance of roof-mounted solar systems. SunPower's solar panels have no moving parts, creating pollution-free electricity with no noise and virtually no maintenance. In addition, due to SunPower's all back-contact solar cell design, its solar panels perform good during cloudy or hot weather. SunPower's SPR-220, SPR-215 and SPR-95 solar panels will replace the company's current offerings: SPR-210, SPR-200 and SPR-90. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
