“SunPower solar panels deliver cost-competitive power and proven long-term reliability, and we are proud to play a significant role in serving France's goals for clean, renewable solar power.”

When compared to conventional panels, SunPower’s E-Series solar panels produce 30% more energy in the same space over the first 25 years.
