SunPower and Maxeon in 2025: Everything You Need to Know
Share
In recent months, the photovoltaic industry has seen major changes involving SunPower Corporation and Maxeon Solar Technologies . In particular, the financial crisis of SunPower in the United States has raised doubts among installers and customers in Italy.
Let’s clarify what’s really happening, how it impacts the market, and what it means for those who have installed or want to purchase SunPower panels.
SunPower and Maxeon: Two Independent Companies Since 2020
Since 2020, SunPower Corporation and Maxeon Solar Technologies have been two fully independent companies. The separation has created two distinct entities:
- SunPower Corporation operates exclusively in the United States and Canada, providing solar solutions for residential and commercial customers.
- Maxeon Solar Technologies is responsible for the design, manufacturing and sales of SunPower solar modules in the rest of the world, including Italy.
Maxeon holds exclusive rights to the SunPower brand outside of the United States and Canada. This means that all SunPower modules sold in Italy are from Maxeon and have no connection to SunPower Corporation.
SunPower USA Financial Crisis: What’s Going On?
In 2024, SunPower Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, beginning a corporate restructuring process to try to remain operational, divest assets, and find new investors.
This crisis affects only SunPower Corporation in the United States and Canada and has no impact on Maxeon.
What does this mean in practice?
- SunPower panels sold in Italy are manufactured by Maxeon, not by SunPower Corporation.
- SunPower panel warranties in Italy remain valid and unchanged.
- After-sales service continues regularly without interruption.
- The distribution of SunPower modules in Italy does not suffer delays or problems.
Maxeon in 2025: Financial Stability and Innovation
While SunPower Corporation faces economic challenges, Maxeon Solar Technologies is in a strong position and continues to grow in the global solar market.
Maxeon Stability Key Factors
- Maxeon recently received a major round of funding from technology group TCL, strengthening its financial structure.
- Production and sales of SunPower panels continue without problems.
- The company is investing in new technologies to improve the efficiency of solar modules, with a focus on advanced materials and sustainability.
These elements confirm that SunPower panels sold in Italy will remain among the best on the market, with a solid guarantee and ongoing support.
What changes for Italian customers?
If you have already installed SunPower panels or are considering a new purchase, there are no problems related to the SunPower USA crisis.
Here are the key points for those in Italy:
- Deliveries continue normally, as SunPower in Italy is managed by Maxeon.
- The warranties remain valid, because Maxeon is independent of the financial situation of SunPower Corporation.
- Technical assistance and after-sales service continue unchanged.
- New technologies are coming, with investments in increasingly efficient solar modules.
What about those who have purchased SunPower panels in the past?
If the panel was purchased in Italy or Europe, the warranty is provided by Maxeon and is not involved in SunPower USA issues.
If you purchased your panel in North America, however, you may need to check your warranty with SunPower Corporation.
Conclusion
Despite the financial crisis of SunPower Corporation in the United States, Maxeon continues to operate with stability and innovation in the global market, including Italy.
If you are an installer or a customer who has purchased SunPower panels in Italy, you can rest assured: supplies, warranties and after-sales assistance continue without problems.
