All-black SunPower Origin solar panel, lit from the side against a dark background.

Anatomy

No lines. No shadows.

On a conventional panel, part of the surface produces nothing. On Origin, almost all of it does.

  1. 01

    A conventional panel

    The metal lines that collect the current run across the front of every cell. They work, but they shade the cell itself.

  2. Back of a SunPower Origin cell, with its electrical contacts visible.
    02

    Everything to the back

    On Origin, every electrical contact sits on the back of the cell. The front has no lines and no wires: about 95 % of the panel's surface collects light.1

    Overlapped like tiles

    The cells overlap slightly, like tiles on a roof. The gaps between them disappear and the panel gains active area right to the edge.1

The climate

Portugal isn't all sunshine.

40 °C summers, sea air, storms and shade that shifts with the seasons. A panel faces all of it for decades.

Inland

Heat

Summers go past 40 °C, and a hot panel produces less. Origin loses little power as it heats up, so it performs when the sun is strongest.2

Coast

Salt

From Minho to the Algarve, many homes sit close to the sea. Origin is certified to withstand salt mist (IEC 61701).2

Storms

Hail

Origin's tempered glass is tested against large hailstones at almost 100 km/h.2

Any roof

Shade

A chimney, an aerial or fallen leaves cover a cell. On Origin, that cell doesn't overheat and the rest of the panel keeps producing.3

The warranty

The warranty that reaches your roof.

Many warranties cover the panel but not the work of replacing it. Origin's covers the product, the power and the service, for up to 40 years.

Product
Defects in materials and workmanship, for 40 years.
Power
A minimum output, in writing, for every one of the 40 years.
Service
If a panel fails, the warranty also covers removing, shipping and reinstalling it, where applicable.

We register the warranty for you, on installation day. With registration it's 40 years; without, it would be 30.4

  2. 02

    Licensing

    We handle registration and the grid paperwork.

  3. 03

    Installation

    Carried out by Enbiente, following SunPower's installation instructions.

  4. 04

    Warranty registration

    We register the 40 years in your name, on installation day.

  5. 05

    Monitoring

    We track the system's production and act when something drifts.

  6. 06

    Maintenance

    Preventive maintenance across the life of the system.

Frequently asked questions

What is back-contact technology?

In a conventional solar cell, the metal lines that collect the current sit on the front and shade the cell itself. In back-contact cells, every contact is on the back. The front is left free to collect light, which means higher efficiency and an all-black look. SunPower was the first to produce these cells at commercial scale, in 2004.

Do SunPower panels cope well with shade?

Partial shade is the worst case for any panel, because it heats up the covered cell. According to SunPower, Origin's architecture keeps a shaded cell below 100 °C while the rest of the panel keeps producing, and the panel holds TÜV Rheinland's A+ shade-resistance rating. Even so, good design starts by avoiding shade, which is what we assess in the roof survey.

Is the 40-year warranty valid in Portugal?

Yes. The SunPower module limited warranty applies to panels sold in Spain and Portugal. It covers product, power and service for 40 years, provided the warranty is registered online. Without registration, a 30-year warranty applies.

Who registers the warranty?

We do. When we install a SunPower system, we register the warranty in your name and hand you the confirmation.

How much more energy does it produce than a conventional panel?

It depends on the roof, orientation, shading and the panel it is compared with. What SunPower guarantees is power over time: at least 99 % in year one and 89.3 % in year 40. In your roof survey, we run the numbers for your case.

Is SunPower Origin available in Portugal yet?

Yes, you can order it through Enbiente. TCL SunPower expects first deliveries in Europe by the end of 2026.

Who handles installation and maintenance?

Enbiente, an official SunPower installation partner in Portugal. We handle design, licensing, installation, warranty registration, monitoring and maintenance.
