SunPower Maxeon solar panels deliver more energy for your money and greater certainty for you.
From day one, a Sunpower Maxeon solar panel captures more sunlight and produces more energy than a standard solar module. That means real savings across the long life of your system. The Sunpower panels come with an industry-leading warranty that covers the power and performance of Maxeon solar panels for 40 years; therfore the advantage is clear: Maxeon technology gives you more energy for your money and total confidence in your investment.
With all this said Supower Maxeon solar panels – due to its technical characteristics – are not suitbale for all the power inverters available in the market. Based on our decades long of solar experience, expertise gained from system installations we listed the some of the power inverter brands which can be a perfect fit your Sunpower panels.
5.Ginlong Solis Inverters with Sunpower
Ginlong Solis power inverters are a very reliable Tier 1 inverters suitable for both residential and commercial solar systems. Installing it with Sunpower Maxeon panels results in a vary stable and effcicient solar system on your roof.
With Sunpoower “now you can have the most sustainable solar panels on the market without sacrificing performance.”
With all that said the relatively low maxumum input voltage of the Solis solar power inverter requires a detailed calculation and attention when designing a system with the Solis – Sunpower combo. In single phase architecture it is recommended to be used only for small solar systems, installed requiring not more tha n a few solar panels. Everything above 1-2 kw of panels installed – if not ptoperly sized – could leed to the shorthening of the life time of the Solis inverter and in extreme cases to damaging the power inverter.
The three phase Ginlogs Solis inverter are more flexible in this respect, therfore we rather recommend them to be installed with three phase inverters. In both cases due to tthe high efficiency of the Sunpower solar panel your system will be a very efficient one.

1. Enphase Micro Inverters with Sunpower
Enphase is de factor the leading manufacturer of microinverters for solar pv systems. The Enphase microinverters operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes with our proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
We do not need to further enphasis the qualities of the SunPower solar panels and their performance. We just explained them eralier in the article. We recommend pairing Enphase microinverters with SunPower solar panels when you need a very reliable and efficient solar system with some unique advantages, like protection against shading.
Enphase microinverters are designed to be installed on each individual solar panel, rather than a central inverter for the entire system. This allows for panel-level optimization, which can greatly improve energy production, especially in situations where shading or panel mismatch may occur. Enphase microinverters also offer advanced monitoring capabilities, allowing you to track the performance of each individual panel in real-time, detect potential issues, and optimize system performance. With IQ8 Series microinverters, Enphase Energy Systems are flexible and scalable. Start with an IQ8 Solar Only system and, as energy needs grow, simply add Enphase IQ Batteries and an IQ Load Controller.
Enphase microinverters and SunPower solar panels always create a high-performance solar energy system that maximizes energy production, minimizes shading losses, and offers granular panel-level monitoring for optimized solar power generation. This combination can also provide greater design flexibility, as each panel operates independently, allowing for easy expansion or system customization. The bigest advantage of such a combo is that ther is No single point of failure. If a system with a central inverter fails, solar production will stop completely. With one microinverter per module, solar production keeps working even if a microinverter fails.
As with any solar installation, it’s important to work with a qualified solar installer to ensure proper system sizing, design, and installation to get the best results for your specific location and energy needs. They can help you determine the optimal configuration and ensure a professional installation for a reliable and efficient solar power system with Enphase microinverters and SunPower solar panels.

Despite the generalities you may hear from your installer or in solar advertising, not all solar systems are created equal! Of all the solar panels on the market, SunPower panels have one of the highest efficiency and convert the highest amount of sunlight into electricity. This means our solar panels generate more power than conventional panels within the same amount of space, and you will need fewer panels to produce the energy you need. You can maximize your available roof space to choose the best, unobstructed location for electricity production.
A photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is composed of solar panels, racking for mounting the panels on the roof, electrical wiring, and a power inverter. From sunrise to sunset, the solar modules generate direct current electricity (DC) which is sent to the inverter. The inverter converts the DC into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity required for household use. (SunPower also offers AC solar panels which do not require a central inverter because they feature a microinverter that’s factory integrated into each panel.) The AC power is delivered directly to your home’s main electrical service panel for use by you and your family.
