About SunPower
In August 2024, SunPower Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, marking the end of the original SunPower company. Complete Solar Holdings, Inc. acquired several SunPower assets, including its New Homes division and Blue Raven Solar. Complete Solar officially rebranded its entire organization as SunPower Inc. in October 2025. The new SunPower Inc. is not the same company as the old SunPower Corporation. According to a company representative, it is a separate entity with different ownership, leadership and business structure.

What is SunPower?
The SunPower brand has existed since 1985. For most of its history, SunPower manufactured its own high-efficiency solar panels. In 2020, it spun off its manufacturing division into a separate company, Maxeon Solar Technologies.
The current SunPower, Inc. functions as a vertically integrated residential solar and storage company, offering:
- System design and proposal software
- Procurement of panels, inverters, batteries and other equipment
- A dealer and installer network, plus in-house installers (e.g., Blue Raven)
- Financing options and warranty support
SunPower solar equipment
SunPower provides complete solar panel systems with optional battery storage. Batteries are most useful in areas with variable utility rates or where net metering credits are low.
Solar panels
SunPower no longer uses Maxeon-manufactured panels. According to a SunPower representative, the company is now “brand agnostic” and installs panels with comparable efficiency and quality from other suppliers.
Solar batteries
The Enphase IQ Battery 10C stores excess solar energy for use at night, during peak-rate hours or in outages. Homeowners can start with one 10 kWh unit and scale up to 80 kWh.
Enphase batteries include a 15-year limited warranty (or up to 6,000 cycles). By the end of the warranty, the battery is guaranteed to retain at least 60% of its original capacity.
SunPower costs
How much solar panels cost depends on a number of factors, like where you live, how much energy your household uses and what incentives you’re eligible for.
A typical residential solar panel installation costs $18,000 to $43,000 on average, not including the cost of a storage battery. Adding a solar battery typically adds $7,000 to $18,000 to your total system cost.
On the high end, Faysal in California said their SunPower installation cost $70,000, and Douglas in Hawaii paid $100,000 for a SunPower system.
SunPower financing
SunPower offers solar loans, solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
SunPower’s Lightreach Solar Lease is a $0-down option that provides predictable monthly payments, no maintenance responsibility and immediate bill savings. With a lease, your payment is fixed, regardless of output. However, the fixed payment must be made even during months with lower production.
With a PPA, you pay for the solar energy your system produces at a set per-kWh rate. Bills fluctuate based on production.

Stakeholders with questions may call Epiq (SunPower Corporation’s bankruptcy administrator) or email SunPowerinfo@epiqglobal.com.
Does SunPower offer energy monitoring?
Yes, the equipment is compatible with a monitoring app (Enphase App), so you can track performance remotely.
What happens to my SunPower solar panels if I sell my home?
With a leased system, you may be able to transfer the system to the new owner for a fee. If your lease has expired, SunPower can remove the solar system from your roof before you sell. If you own your panels, you can factor the solar energy system into the home’s asking price.
