Editor’s Note: In 2020, SunPower announced the completion of the strategic spin-off of its manufacturing division into a separate business named Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. As a result, SunPower has expanded its offerings to drive future growth. The SunPower Equinox® system now offers multiple panel options, including front- and back-contact panels, all of which are responsibly and rigorously quality tested to provide the best energy solution for your home. For more information on the differences in panel technology, see: http://ow.ly/5hPL50LzjxK.

When people think of solar energy they likely picture solar panels on a rooftop, but did you know that you have a choice when it comes to where you install solar panels for your home or business to generate electricity?

In this video we take a look at three of the most common types of onsite commercial solar installations, some of which also work for residential uses.

It's clear that solar can work anywhere that the sun shines. One commercial customer, a health center in New York City even had a SunPower solar system installed on the side of their building. Learn more about that project from Quixotic Systems.
