Unmatched Performance, Reliability and Aesthetics
Sunpower have their top-of-the-line solar panels give homeowners more energy.
They deliver the highest efficiency available in a residential solar panel today, at a record-breaking 22.6% for their 400W panel. That means homeowners get more electricity, more flexibility, more peace of mind, and lower electricity bills.
All with 40 year parts and labour warranty.
✅ Most energy from less space
SunPower Maxeon 3 solar panels have the highest efficiency than any other panel on the market, which means you can create more power in smaller spaces, with fewer panels.
✅Most electricity
Simply put, SunPower Maxeon 3 400W panels produce more electricity than conventional panels. They convert more sunlight to electricity, producing 75% more energy per square foot over the first 25 years.
✅ Most flexibility
Because Maxeon 3 residential solar panels generate more electricity from a smaller area, you can expand energy production simply by using additional roof space to add more panels later.
✅Most peace of mind
More guaranteed power. SunPower offers the best combined power and product warranty over 25 years. And because they’re built on a solid copper foundation, SunPower solar cells deliver unmatched reliability over the lifetime of your solar energy system.

F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is my rooftop solar system covered by warranty?
Yes it certainly is. Each panel type typically gets a 25 year performance warranty and at least a 10 year manufacturing warranty, depending on the panel chosen. Jinko panels offer a 10 year manufacturing warranty, QCells panels 12 years, and SunPower panels offer a 25 year manufacturing warranty (parts and labour).
Check out your panel and inverter warranty sheets for more details!
-
What are the benefits of rooftop solar power?
There are many benefits in installing a solar PV system including:
- Reduce or eliminate your power bill - you can regain control of your electricity costs.
- A revenue generating asset - you make back many times the initial cost of the system over the lifetime of your solar PV system.
- Add value to your home - a solar system adds value to your home increasing the resale value.
- Reduce your carbon footprint - a solar system generates no greenhouse gases while in operation giving you zero carbon power and lowing your overall carbon footprint.
- Reduce or eliminate your power bill - you can regain control of your electricity costs.
-
What rebates can I get with my rooftop solar system? And how much are they worth?
Solar rebates come in three forms:
- Federal rebates: i.e. Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) which are available in all states.
- State based rebates: Available in some states from time to time and may be means tested (you can email info@pure-electric.com.au for more details).
- Feed in tariffs: Different tariffs are offered by different retailers.
Small-Scale Technology Certificate (STC) rebate
Currently, all solar systems are eligible for an STC rebate which is calculated using four factors.
Factor 1: The total size of your system in kW
i.e. you have a 10 kW of panels and an 8.2 kW inverter your system size is considered 10 kW
Factor 2: The Zone you are in
Australia is divided into four solar zones.
Zone Rating 1 1.622 2 1.536 3 1.382 4 1.185 To find out which zone your postcode is in click this link.
Factor 3: The STC multiplier based on the year in which you install your solar system
The STC multiplier is a factor worked out based on what year you install your solar system and is as follows:
Factor 4: The price of STCs
STCs can be priced through the Government's STC clearing house or on the open market at places like Green Energy Markets.
As an example say that you are installing 10 kW of panels, in Zone 1 in 2020 and the current price of an STC is $35 your STC rebate would then be:
STC rebate = 10 x 1.622 x 11 x 35 = $6,244.70
This would appear as a $6,244.70 discount off the total cost of your solar system.
State specific rebates and Feed in Tariffs (FiT)
If you want to find out the currently available up-front rebates or Feed in Tarrifs (i.e. the amount you are paid for feeding power back into the grid) you can always email us at info@pure-electric.com.au for more details.

Maxeon recommends visual inspection on a regular basis of all modules for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical connection, and free from corrosion. This visual inspection should be performed by trained personnel. The standard frequency is once a
year according to environmental conditions, periodic cleaning of modules is recommended but is not required. Periodic cleaning has resulted in improved performance levels, especially in regions with low levels of annual precipitation (less than 46.3cm (18.25 inches)). Consult your dealer or supplier about recommended cleaning schedules for your area.
To clean a module, wash with potable, non-heated, water. Normal water pressure is more than adequate, but pressurized water up to 100 bar (min. 50 cm distance) may be used. Maxeon recommends using a large hosepipe and not to perform cleaning at high outside temperatures. Fingerprints, stains, or accumulations of dirt on the front surface may be removed as follows: first rinse off area and let soak for a short period of time (5 mins). Re-wet and use a soft sponge or seamless cloth to wipe glass surface in a circular motion.
Fingerprints typically can be removed with a soft cloth or sponge and water after wetting. Do not use harsh cleaning materials such as scouring powder, steel wool, scrapers, blades, or other sharp instruments to clean the glass surface of the module. Use of such
materials or cleaning without consultation will invalidate the product warranty. As dry cleaning is also risky for Anti-Reflective (AR) coated module surface, spinning brush is not recommended for module cleaning.
