Interested in the most advanced and aesthetically pleasing solar panels for your home? SunPower has just introduced the new Maxeon 3 Solar Panels. They are up to 21.3% efficient and have a 40 year warranty. Even more important, these new panels are designed to have enhanced performance in high temperatures, and higher energy conversion in low-light conditions like mornings, evenings and cloudy days. The panels are also engineered to power through all types of weather conditions with crack-resistant cells and reinforced connections that protect against fatigue and corrosion, to an electrical architecture that mitigates the impact of shade and prevents hot-spot formation.

But for those homes in areas where the HOA doesn’t want to see solar panels, these all black panels almost disappear against the roof. With a black flat mounting system, the normal silver aluminum that you might see on the panels and the racks disappear. As we are moving into a townhouse with a pergola on the third floor, we are hoping that the black racking system and panels set flat against the top of the pergola (making them almost invisible) will convince the developer and HOA to allow us to install them.
