225 SOLAR PANEL

EXCEPTIONAL EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE

BENEFITS

Highest Efficiency
Panel efficiency of 18.1% is the
highest commercially available for
residential applications.

More Power
SunPower 225 delivers up to 50% more
power per unit area than conventional
solar panels.

Attractive Design
Unique all back-contact solar cells and
optimized panel design eliminate harsh
reflection from front-side metal contacts.

Reliable and Robust Design

Proven materials, tempered front glass,
and a sturdy anodized frame allow
panel to operate reliably in multiple
mounting configurations.

The SunPower 225 Solar Panel provides today’s highest

efficiency and performance for residential use. Utilizing
72 next generation SunPower all back-contact solar
cells and an optimized panel design, the SunPower
225 elegantly delivers an unprecedented total panel
conversion efficiency of 18.1%. The panel’s reduced
voltage-temperature coefficient and exceptional low-
light performance attributes provide outstanding energy
delivery per peak power watt.
