The news last year regarding SunPower’s bankruptcy has raised questions among both homeowners and businesses considering Solar Panels. However, it’s essential to understand that this development has no impact on the availability, quality, or warranty of the SunPower-branded Solar Panels we install and supply.
SunPower vs. Maxeon: Two Separate Companies
In 2020, prior to the bankruptcy, the SunPower Corporation split into two independent companies:
- Maxeon Solar Technologies, which manufactures SunPower panels and holds the patents, research, and production facilities.
- SunPower Corporation, which focuses on solar installation and energy services (this is the entity that has now filed for bankruptcy).
This means that SunPower panels are produced by Maxeon, a financially stable and independent company that continues to thrive in the solar industry.
No risk to existing or future customers of Stratford Energy customers
If you already own or are considering purchasing SunPower-branded panels, you can rest assured that:
- Warranties remain fully intact and are backed by Maxeon Solar Technologies
- Maxeon is financially strong, with majority ownership by electronics giant TCL and minority investment from Total Energies.
- We are amongst the majority of premium installers in the UK who are continuing to install SunPower Solar Panels for the foreseeable future
With nearly 40 years of solar expertise, Maxeon continues to be a leader in cutting-edge solar technology. The company remains committed to delivering high-performance, durable, and efficient solar solutions worldwide.
