For SunPower Corp. customers in the United States who are concerned about their product warranties now that the installation company has filed for bankruptcy, panel manufacturer Maxeon has come up with a solution.
For SunPower systems installed by SunPower dealers that use SunPower brand solar panels made by Maxeon, Maxeon provides warranty coverage for the solar panels. Customers can find instructions on how to register their systems here: maxeon.com/us/sunpower-warranty
Maxeon’s panel manufacturing business was spun out of SunPower in 2020 and Maxeon has since operated as an independent company with no further ties to SunPower. SunPower dealers were primarily installing Maxeon solar panels until earlier this year, so some SunPower systems may not be equipped with Maxeon panels. Customers are encouraged to review their existing contracts.
Maxeon’s warranty coverage only covers the solar panels. Other components, including microinverters, mounting systems and batteries, are not included in Maxeon’s offering.
