I agree...Once rest of solar industry caught up to Sunpower on solar modules technology and efficiency... there really is nothing that makes Sunpower different that justifies a premium price.
You missed their acquisition of SolarBridge and the associated class action lawsuit, the fact their early modules were positively grounded and required special inverters, and their crappy rollout of Equinox and Helix "systems". Oh also their terrible PVS5 monitoring systems. IMO, if they stuck with making modules, they'd be better off.
I agree … should have made modules as their difference … good point on solar bridge etc … having a proprietary system with no real benifits increased the costs .. vs using say enphase micros …. Thanks for watching
SPWR stopped being ‘good customer service’ years ago. And rush to meet CA NEM 3.0 driven demand led to lots of ‘shortcuts’ that have created a fair amount of remediation liability. And Maxeon in equally bad position so panel warranty unlikely… looking forward to (hoping for) enPhase offering alternative to PVS6 to take over firmware maintenance and panel monitoring
I have been a sunpower dealer for 3 or 4 years never even tried to sell their stuff, just too expensive

spot on. you mentioned everything i was thinking, after being in solar for 14y. CEO needs to go to prison, not resign.

Good points ..
They'll all open up under a different name in a few months 😔
Nope not under the new rates. All these failures could not find buyers. Go with the wind
No way on keeping a Warrenty. There are other headwinds ahead and the consumer will be stuck with useless panels...
warranty
Scamorama...
