Gone are the days of clunky, piecemeal solar systems. Every part of the SunPower Equinox® is designed and engineered by one company to work better together - delivering more power, reliability and style than a conventional home solar system and backed by the industry's best complete-system warranty.
SunPower Equinox® Systems vs Conventional Solar
Conventional home solar
- Built with components from multiple brands and manufacturers each with its own warranty.
- Requires more panels typically spanning multiple sides to meet energy needs.
- Separate inverters add more utility boxes cluttering exterior walls.
- May not be compatible with energy storage or require a large, bulk installation.
SunPower Equinox® System
- Built by SunPower and backed by the industry’s only complete-system warranty.
- Generates more power in less space with fewer visible parts for a minimalist design.
- Eliminates unnecessary hardware and utility boxes on exterior walls.
- Easily add energy storage to provide backup power during an outage and to help reduce peak-time charges.

Benefits of SunPower Equinox® System
Built to last
At the heart of every system is the Maxeon® solar cell, designed with a solid copper foundation to stand up to harsh conditions and deliver decades of productivity.
Conventional solar cells can crack easily or lose power over time. SunPower's patented Maxeon® solar cells are uniquely designed to turn more sunlight into energy with their copper-backed design reinforces cell strength, resists corrosion and produces more electricity over time.Learn about Maxeon® Cells
Unrivaled performance
The SunPower Equinox® system features the most efficient solar panels on the market.* Because more power means more savings and fewer panels on your roof.
SunPower's elegant panels achieve a world-record setting 22% efficiency rate, the highest efficiency solar panels you can buy for your roof.* In fact, a SunPower solar panel produces the same total energy in its first 17 years as a conventional panel running for 25 years.*Learn more about SunPower® solar panels

Minimalist design
Our proprietary InvisiMount® frame is designed to be completely hidden, producing a sleek look that complements any architectural style.
Conventional solar frames can be visible from the ground, but with the SunPower EquinoxTM system, the frame is hidden, so beautiful solar is the only thing you see.Tell me more about the InvisiMount® frame
Concealed Genius
Our solar panels for your home have built-in microinverters hidden behind each panel to optimize power conversion at the source—minimizing disruptions and eliminating the need for ugly external inverters.
The SunPower Equinox system maximizes energy production and converts more sunlight into usable power immediately right at the panel. With SunPower's micro-inverter technology, a bulky inverter on the outside of your house is a thing of the past.Tell me more about the built-in micro-inverters
Seamless Backup
Our SunPower® SunVault™ Storage system is designed to pair perfectly with your Equinox® system, using excess energy generated during the day to power your essential appliances during an outage* and reduce peak-time electricity charges.

- *. "Essential Appliances" are determined by the homeowner before installation and typically include lights, select appliances and outlets for devices. The battery storage system should not be relied upon as a power source for critical medical devices. The life of the battery storage system will vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the amount of energy stored in the battery, the amount of wattage used by the appliances and electronics connected to the battery storage system, the age of the battery, the battery’s ability to recharge during daylight hours due to weather, the frequency and duration of battery usage, and other factors. Battery life will decrease with time and use.
