SunPower has extended its supply agreement with solar technology company Maxeon until 2025 as it seeks to meet rising demand for residential solar in the US.
Residential solar installer SunPower increased its new customer addition record for a single quarter with 23,100 customers added in Q3 thanks to continued strong demand for rooftop PV.
The proliferation of solar requires PV projects to adapt to their grid surroundings, which increasingly entails connecting alongside adjacent technologies, be it energy storage, other renewables or green hydrogen. Amid the growing threat of curtailment, Jules Scully looks at the rise of the ‘solar-plus’ market and the financial models underpinning it.
Having completed its shift to become a pure-play residential solar company with the recent sale of its commercial and industrial unit, SunPower is aiming to benefit from a heightened focus on combining rooftop PV, home storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging.
