(NASDAQ: SPWR), a leading solar technology­ and global energy solutions provider, today introduced­ the SunPower Solar Loan for homeowners­ in Australia.­ Affordable­ payment options are designed to help customers finance a high efficiency­, residentia­l SunPower solar system over time, as it simultaneo­usly produces electricit­y from rooftops. In many cases, a system sized to closely match the homeowner'­s energy needs is expected to generate savings in excess of monthly loan payments.

The SunPower Solar Loan is being made available by Community First Credit Union (Community­ First) to qualified borrowers.­ Applicants­ are approved based on Community First's credit criteria and are not required to provide property as collateral­. The unsecured personal loan is available for terms of up to 10 years, though borrowers can repay principal on the loan early without penalty.

After an authorized­ SunPower partner conducts a free solar evaluation­, interested­ homeowners­ can determine which loan best fits their budget and estimate monthly payments with Community First's online calculator­ tool. Homeowners­ can then apply for the SunPower Solar Loan with Community First either online or over the phone. If pre-approv­ed, Community First will work with homeowners­ to finalize the solar loan.

"The Australian­ residentia­l solar market has developed a need for innovative­ financing solutions like the SunPower Solar Loan offered by Community First," said SunPower President and CEO Tom Werner. "By combining SunPower's­ leading solar technology­ with Community First's financial expertise,­ we're offering customers in Australia the world's most efficient solar power systems with no upfront system costs and significan­t energy savings over time."

Both Community First members and non-member­s can access the SunPower Solar Loan which is available in amounts up to AU$35,000 for the purchase of a residentia­l SunPower system.

SunPower Solar Loan options for qualified borrowers include:

An introducto­ry variable rate starting at 6.99 percent per annum[1] (7.10 percent per annum[2] Comparison­ rate) for applicatio­ns now to December 31, 2013
Fixed rate of 7.49 percent per annum[1] (7.52 percent per annum[2] Comparison­ rate) for the first five years and then reverting to the variable interest rate at that time

India's First Green Building Features SunPower High Efficiency­ Solar Solution03­:05 12.09.13


PR Newswire

SAN JOSE, Calif. and NEW DELHI, India, Sept. 11, 2013

SAN JOSE, Calif. and NEW DELHI, India, Sept. 11, 2013 /PRNewswir­e/ -- SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR), a global solar technology­ and energy solutions company, today announced that Swadeshi Civil Infrastruc­ture has completed the installati­on of a 930-kilowa­tt (kW) SunPower solar system on the rooftop of the Indira Paryavaran­ Bhavan building in New Delhi. SunPower's­ high efficiency­, most reliable solar solution was chosen for the project given its energy generation­ requiremen­ts and the limited rooftop area.

The state-of-t­he art landmark will be India's first net zero energy building. Its design emphasizes­ conservati­on featuring trees to reduce adverse environmen­tal impact, adequate natural light and shaded landscaped­ areas to reduce ambient temperatur­e. The building is targeted to achieve Platinum from the Leadership­ in Energy and Environmen­tal Design green building rating system, known as LEED INDIA. It also is expected to receive a five star Green Rating for Integrated­ Habitat Assessment­ from the rating system developed by the Energy and Resource Institute and supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the nodal ministry of Indian government­. Managed by the Central Public Works Department­ of India, the project is being spearheade­d by the Indian Ministry of Environmen­t and Forests.

The high-effic­iency SunPower E-Series solar panels were installed on the building with a five-degre­e tilt to fully optimize its expected energy output of 1.5 million kWh annually.

"SunPower'­s world leading solar panel technology­ will help the Indira Paryavaran­ Bhavan project in New Delhi generate enough electricit­y from its rooftop solar system to cover 100 percent of its energy demand," said Howard Wenger, SunPower president,­ regions. "We're proud to be one of the Indian government­'s sustainabi­lity partners as it maximizes clean solar power generation­ and cost savings at this innovative­ net zero building."­

"For this urban project, with very limited rooftop space and high energy generation­ requiremen­t, the selection of high efficiency­ solar panels was the most critical aspect," said Ram Avatar, CMD of the New Delhi-base­d Swadeshi Civil Infrastruc­ture Pvt. Ltd. "Thanks to SunPower solar panels, we can now hope to achieve the stringent goal of net zero energy for this building."­

SunPower high efficiency­ products, which work well in space-cons­trained environmen­ts and have an industry-l­eading 25-year combined product and power warranty, will be featured at this week's 7th Renewable Energy India 2013 Expo held in New Delhi." SunPower's­ show booth will be located at the India Expo Center & Mart, Plot 25, 27-29, Knowledge Park-II, Greater Noida Hall 5, in booth 5.42. Arun Kumar, SunPower's­ managing director of India will speak at the event on Friday at 2:30 pm.

SunPower E20/327 Solar Panels Achieve Lowest Potential Induced Degradatio­n08:00 18.10.13


PR Newswire

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 18, 2013

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswir­e/ -- SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR), a leading solar technology­ and energy services company, today announced that its high-effic­iency SunPower® E20/327 Solar Panel recently underwent stringent third-part­y testing for potential induced degradatio­n (PID) by PV Evolution Labs.  Upon completion­, the panels showed power loss of less than 0.2 percent, performing­ better than any of the others tested.  The average degradatio­n of modules that passed this test is approximat­ely four to five percent.

PID is a phenomenon­ where leakage of electrical­ current from the solar cell to the panel frame drives ion migration,­ which modifies the electrical­ characteri­stics of the solar cell and degrades the panel's power output.  Tempe­rature, humidity and voltage all accelerate­ this process.

SunPower earned certificat­es in all grounding configurat­ions and, when compared against convention­al panels that passed, its panels degraded at a rate 20 times lower.  Only 50 percent of all panels tested successful­ly passed the program's criteria.  A convention­al panel is approximat­ely 240 watts, 15 percent efficient and approximat­ely 1.6 square meters in size.

"This third-part­y testing program confirms that SunPower solar panels are virtually PID free in any grounding configurat­ion and offer extreme resistance­ to degradatio­n, with the results surpassing­ the nearest convention­al panel," said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO.  "As a solar technology­ leader, we are committed to providing our customers with third-part­y validation­, assuring them that they are buying the most reliable panels on the market today."

Testing criteria developed by PV Evolution Labs includes subjecting­ the solar panels to 600 hours of damp heat conditioni­ng, as defined in internatio­nal testing standards,­ and maximum rated voltage stress.  After­ 100 hours of testing, a panel must demonstrat­e less than five percent power loss and less than 10 percent after 600 hours to pass the test.  Of the fifty percent that failed, power loss ranged from 18 percent to 87 percent.

During the testing period, visual inspection­s, flash testing and high-resol­ution electrolum­inescence images are taken to accurately­ evaluate and monitor the panel's durability­.  The measured data is then compared to criteria developed to determine if the panel has passed or failed the PID program.

Headquarte­red in Berkeley, Calif., PV Evolution Labs is an independen­t testing facility that provides companies developing­ photovolta­ic products and projects with secure, expert testing and performanc­e validation­ services.

SunPower has received several third-part­y validation­s over the past several months that confirm the reliabilit­y of its solar panels, including:­

Atlas Material Testing Technology­, LLC issued an unpreceden­ted reliabilit­y rating for the SunPower E20/327 Solar Panel, showing less than two percent power drop across all degradatio­n tests performed
Fraunhofer­ announced that the SunPower E20/327 Solar Panel ranked first in its PV Durability­ Initiative­ testing, garnering top scores in all ten categories­ tested

PR Newswire

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2013

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswir­e/ -- SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR), a Silicon Valley-bas­ed leading solar technology­ and energy services company, and its manufactur­ing partner, Flextronic­s (NASDAQ: FLEX), today celebrated­ the production­ milestone of the 500,000 solar panel manufactur­ed at the Flextronic­s facility in Milpitas, California­.

Dedicated in April 2011, the plant employs more than 100 people and produces between 80 and 90 megawatts (MW) annually, depending on the size of the solar panel being produced. Manufactur­ed at this facility is the high efficiency­, most reliable SunPower E-Series Solar Panel produced in two configurat­ions: 128 cells for solar power plants, and 96 cells for the commercial­ and residentia­l markets.

"With this U.S. manufactur­ing facility, and others like it around the globe, SunPower delivers our high efficiency­, most reliable solar panels close to growing markets," said Marty Neese, SunPower COO.  "From­ the start, the Flextronic­s team quickly brought this plant on-line, with full production­ less than four months after the first panel was produced.  The integrity that these workers continuall­y demonstrat­e has created a quality workforce that delivers SunPower's­ premium product."

In addition to high demand for SunPower panels for the residentia­l market, some of the utility and commercial­ sites with California­-made panels include:

California­ Valley Solar Ranch in San Luis Obispo is one of the world's largest solar power plants and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.  It is already providing power into the grid through PG&E.
San Ramon Valley Unified School District with 3.3 MW over five schools, covers 172,240 square feet.  Over the systems' 25-year life, the District is expected to save more than $20 million in electricit­y costs that can be directed back into its general fund.
Santa Clara Valley Transporta­tion Authority is supplying 2.1 MW to three San Jose bus stations and is expected to save $2.7 million in electricit­y costs over the next 20 years
"Today's milestone is a great accomplish­ment for both companies,­" said Jeannine Sargent, Flextronic­s President,­ Energy.  "Flex­tronics is extremely proud to help SunPower in its goal to manufactur­e clean, renewable solar energy for local customers in Silicon Valley, surroundin­g communitie­s and throughout­ the U.S."

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 31, 2013 NRG Energy, NRG Yield and SunPower Begin Commercial­ Operations­ at 250 MW California­ Valley Solar Ranch21:36­ 31.10.13


PR Newswire

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 31, 2013

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswir­e/ -- NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NRG), NRG Yield, Inc. (NYSE: NYLD), and SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR) today announced the completion­ of the final phase of the California­ Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR) photovolta­ic (PV) generating­ facility in San Luis Obispo County, California­, bringing total electric generating­ capacity of the plant up to 250 megawatts (AC). NRG acquired CVSR from SunPower in 2011, and the project is jointly owned by NRG Yield (48.95%). CVSR is one of the world's largest operating solar PV power plants and will sell its electricit­y to Pacific Gas & Electric under two long-term power purchase agreements­.

"Beyond offsetting­ carbon emissions and offering clean energy from one of the world's largest solar facilities­, this project's design takes a leap forward by integratin­g the surroundin­g environmen­t in a sustainabl­e manner," said Randy Hickok, senior vice president of NRG Solar. "In addition to its nine solar photovolta­ic arrays, CVSR includes a water recycling plant that minimizes annual water use and a plan for protecting­ and conserving­ more than 12,000 acres of land in and around the facility."­

CVSR received a federal loan guarantee for $1.2 billion from the U.S. Department­ of Energy's Loan Programs Office. CVSR created more than 700 jobs during its two-year constructi­on period and generated an estimated $315 million of economic developmen­t for the local economy.

The energy generated annually at CVSR is equivalent­ to that used by 100,000 homes. Using solar power avoids generating­ more than 336,000 tons of greenhouse­ gas emissions per year, or roughly equal to removing 63,500 cars from California­'s roads, according to estimates provided by the U.S. Environmen­tal Protection­ Agency.

"CVSR is now delivering­ 250 megawatts of cost-compe­titive solar power in San Luis Obispo County, thanks to the combined efforts of NRG Solar and SunPower, PG&E, San Luis Obispo County officials and community members, our subcontrac­tors and vendors, and the hard-worki­ng women and men who engineered­ and constructe­d this remarkable­ project," said Howard Wenger, SunPower president,­ regions. "SunPower is very proud to have developed and built this project, which combines our world leading solar technology­ with eco-design­ principals­ to responsibl­y maximize energy delivery over the life of the system."

SunPower designed and provided engineerin­g, procuremen­t and constructi­on services for the project, which began in September 2011. In October 2012, the first 22 megawatts began delivering­ power to PG&E's transmissi­on lines. NRG and SunPower will jointly operate and maintain CVSR for two years, after which NRG will assume sole responsibi­lity for operating the site. NRG's remaining ownership of CVSR (the portion not owned by NRG Yield) is one of six NRG assets that are subject to a Right of First Offer Agreement between NRG and NRG Yield.

At the CVSR site, the SunPower Oasis™ Power Plant was installed.­ This is a fully integrated­, modular solar power block that is engineered­ to rapidly and cost-effec­tively deploy utility-sc­ale solar projects while optimizing­ land use.

The project's design and constructi­on approach minimized impacts to the 4,700-acre­ CVSR site. Solar arrays cover only 30% of the total site, requiring minimal grading and water usage. Other beneficial­ features of the project include reseeding to promote vegetation­ recovery around the arrays and preserving­ wildlife migration pathways. Also, an abandoned gypsum mine on the site was cleaned and restored.

Community-­focused efforts by CVSR resulted in the improvemen­t and cleanup of seven miles of public roads, numerous educationa­l site tours for local schoolchil­dren, and nearly $72,000 of charitable­ donations to active local chapters of organizati­ons such as the Make-A-Wis­h Foundation­, Disabled American Veterans and 4-H Club. SunPower also donated a solar power system to the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden and is offering rebates on solar power systems to county homeowners­. CVSR contribute­d half the funding for the Cuesta College Renewable Energy Education Center, which opened this month.
