Solar photovoltaic (PV) solutions sold by SunPower implement Maxeon solar cell technology that delivers 60% more energy in 25 years and has achieved a world-record efficiency of 22.8%. One of the best and most advanced solar cells featuring cutting-edge technology are SunPower Maxeon solar cells. All About our SunPower Maxeon Solar CellsĬrystalline silicon (c-Si) technology is used in 95% of solar cells manufactured worldwide, but the efficiency and performance are determined by variations in the structure of the cell. This enables us to provide the same high quality at a lower price per watt. This allows some of the sun’s rays to reflect back into the solar cell, increasing the amount of energy produced resulting in a conversion efficiency of up to 22.5%. Premium PERC solar cells have an extra layer within the back side of the cell. PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact) cells are about 5% less efficient than Sunpower cells and cost about 25% less. These modified conventional cells produce 6 to 12 percent more energy than conventional monocrystalline solar cells. We also offer a more affordable walkable panel that uses PERC solar cells.


SunPower Maxeon cell technology uses a back contact design which maximizes the sunlight energy available to each solar cell and enables a sunlight to electric conversion efficiency of up to 24%. Our SunPower Maxeon Series solar panels are made with SunPower Maxeon solar cells which have the highest energy yield (power output) of any solar cell in the world. This program is dedicated to helping installers understand how the long-term performance of the insulated metal panel system can be affected by the installer’s attention to detail.Our walk-on solar panels are available with two different types of solar cells SunPower Maxeon and Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC). Metl-Span offers one of the most in-depth installer training programs in our industry. The unique LockGuard ® interlocking side joint further enhances the fire resistant performance of the panel with its tongue and groove engagement of the mineral wool core. In addition to its fire resistant characteristics, the panel provides good thermal performance and protection from the elements. ThermalSafe ® combines advanced panel design with Metl-Span's sophisticated manufacturing expertise to create a composite panel that achieves one, two and three hour fire resistance ratings under the most demanding conditions. Other end applications include schools, manufacturing facilities, distribution warehouses, equipment maintenance buildings, mechanical penthouses, kiosks, equipment screens, aircraft hangars, prison units and office buildings.
