Introduction
The shingled cell SunPower Performance solar panel
combines 35+ years of materials and manufacturing
expertise with conventional p-type mono PERC cells to
surpass the performance, reliability and aesthetics of
conventional panels.
The Performance panel originated from SunPower
Corporation’s 2015 acquisition of Silicon Valley-based,
Cogenra Solar. Cogenra’s innovative approach to stringing
solar cells paved the way for the Performance panel by
eliminating key vulnerabilities in conventional panel cell
connections.
Since 2015, more than 4 GW of high reliability SunPower
Performance panels have been deployed across 60+
countries, making it the leading shingle cell technology on
the market today.

In 2020, SunPower Performance 3 panels were introduced to
the market, incorporating a dedicated panel for large-scale
power plant installations (UPP). This new form factor
complemented existing models that catered to residential
(BLK) and commercial (COM) installations (figure 1).
