"Pleased Customer"
I have had my Sun Power solar panels in my home for two years now and I am pleased with the panels' performance. Efficiency and aesthetics are the two main things I like about my solar panels. The panels do not have any unsightly metal grid lines and look better than most other solar panels. The solar panels have an efficiency of 18% which is relatively high for solar panels. As a result most months I generate my own electricity and will be able to recoup my investment in less than eight years. My only qualm with my solar panels was the high price. As of yet I have not had to repair or replace any part of my installation. I would highly recommend Sun Power to any of my friends and if I ever needed to purchase more solar panels I would definitely consider buying from Sun Power first.

"Why pay for electricity? Go Solar!"
My Sunpower solar panels are excellent. They look great on my roof and have dropped my electricity bill from fifty dollars per month to less than ten dollars per month. I like that they work great, take very little effort, and essentially no maintenance. I only wipe them off when I am up on the roof cleaning out my gutters. They also give you a sense of helping the environment and the world and look very nice on the roof. I have no complaints about my system at all. They were relatively inexpensive to install because of all the generous tax incentives, and will pay for themselves in a couple years. I would certainly purchase the same brand again. Sunpower solar panels offer the highest amount of power for a given area. I have recommended these solar panels to many friends who have purchased them and are also happy with their systems.

"talk about saving money"
I have had my SunPower solar powered panels for about three years and in that I have saved a couple thousand dollars. The solar panels work just like the company said they would if not better. The SPR 215 model solar panel which is the model I currently own features a very aesthetically pleasing black roof mounted design. Who every said solar power can't be aesthetically please obviously never seen the SPR 215 solar panels. But with a warranty like below and with all the money you save why wouldn't I recommend this product to a friend. "SunPower Solar Panels come with a 25-year manufacturer's warranty on the power output. SunPower guarantees that there will be 90% of the rated power output for the first 12 years from the date of supply and 80% of the rated power output for the entire 25 years. SunPower further warrants that their solar panels will be free from defects for 10 years from date of supply. Defective panels in the first 10 years will be replaced free of costinstall"

"Somewhat Satisfied"
SunPower solar modules may offer higher efficiency than other models but all that means is a slightly smaller footprint. Hardly worth the much higher price. SunPower 200 through 230 watt solar modules offers one of the poorest negative tolernce ratings on the market when compared to most other modules. Rated at negative 5% tolerance, SunPower will only guaranty that their 230 Watt module will produce 218.5 Watts new right out of box. Also SunPower modules are made in China. I have owned my two panels for about 3 years and have been lucky so far because no repairs have been necessary. I would buy then again based on these facts.
