SunPower Maxeon 5: Features and Integrated Technology
Maxeon 5 Panel Specifications and Warranties
so the difference between these two panels are the maxion three are slightly smaller but have got exactly the same technology as the maxim five the maxim 5 here is the flagship of sun power it is a 415 watt panel it comes with a 25 year product warranty the industry standard is between 10 and 15 years only performance warranty is 92 after 25 years it will still perform at 92 from brand new which is amazing the industry standard is more like 81 percent
Integrated Enphase Inverter and Enhanced Warranty
what's so unique about the maximum 5 is they have an integrated end phase inverter so what that means is there's an inverter under every single panel and every panel does not get affected by the next one with shade what's so unique about end phase in this panel is enphase usually come with a standard 10 year warranty with the maxium 5 it comes with a 25 year warranty on the end phase and 25 year warranty on the panel this panel it's made to last
Rear Panel Design and Enphase Integration
so what i'll do i'll flip this around and i'll show you how the end phase works on the back so here we have the rear of the maxion 5 solar panel this here is the en phase inverter it's on a specially designed bracket that comes bolted straight out of the factory they've even left it a little bit off the solar panel to create a little bit of airflow they've got extremely nice cable management and to go from one panel to the next it's as simple as plugging in one cable to your next end phase we're extremely proud to have this as part of our product range
