You'll Be Glad You've Compared The Difference!
Once you have done your research, you will find that not all solar is created equal. See just a few issues with conventional home solar systems compared to our SunPower Equinox® System.
The SunPower Equinox® system is different by design
Conventional Solar
Conventional solar systems are typically built with components from different brands and manufacturers, with multiple warranties for different parts.
The SunPower Equinox® solar + storage system
The entire SunPower Equinox® solar + storage system, from solar cell to software, is designed and engineered to work better together. The system generates more power in less space with fewer visible parts, stores unused energy, and delivers it in an elegant, minimal design.
Racking: Conventional Solar
Most conventional solar racking hardware systems (the frame that holds the panels in place) are built to fit all panel brands, compromising on aesthetics.
Racking: SunPower Solar
SunPower’s proprietary InvisiMount® racking system sits beneath the panels, providing a custom-fit that lays flat on your roof and is barely visible from below. The accessories are designed to work together, securing your investment for the life of the system, providing a clean aesthetic and peace of mind.
Panel: Conventional Solar
When roof space is limited, so is system power. Most conventional solar systems resort to asymmetrical installations that span multiple sides of the roof to meet the home’s energy needs.
Panel: SunPower Solar
The SunPower Equinox® system provides the highest efficiency solar available on the market1 to your rooftop, producing energy to run your home beautifully with fewer panels, which can result in a compact, symmetrical installation. SunPower® panels are available in black or white sheet options.
Storage: Conventional Solar
Other storage systems are complex and messy, with multiple boxes and configurations.
Storage: SunPower Solar
SunPower® Equinox™ Storage combines the sleek and minimalist design that customers expect from SunPower. Equinox Storage uses battery technology tested for long-term reliability and durability, backed by a 10-year warranty to give you peace of mind.
Consumption Monitoring: SunPower Solar
The SunPower Equinox® solar + storage system comes with EnergyLink® software that helps you track how much energy you’re producing and using.3 Check in anytime from your smartphone, tablet or desktop to see your daily energy profile,4 estimated savings, manage your storage and energy use, and see the positive impact you’re having on the environment.

The Science Behind Solar Power
Modern solar panels generate energy through photovoltaics, a renewable method that uses solar radiation to produce electricity. Each panel is made up of multiple solar cells. These small cells contain two layers of semiconducting silicon -- one negatively charged layer, and one positively charged layer. When sunlight strikes the cells, electrons are knocked loose and drawn into an electrical current. This electrical current is what generates power in a solar panel system.
Before the power generated by a solar system can be used in a home or commercial building, it must be converted into an alternating current (AC). Solar panel systems are connected to an inverter that converts direct current (DC) into AC. This current is then fed into your home, powering your lights and all other electrical appliances. Solar Energy Partners is one of the best solar companies in SC & GA that uses microinverters, enhancing the efficiency and energy production of each solar panel.
