SunPower - Customer Reassurance

There has been a lot of news recently about “SunPower” going bankrupt, and it has understandably caused confusion for homeowners and businesses looking to invest in high-quality solar panels.

This document clarifies exactly what happened and why customers can remain fully confident when purchasing SunPower solar panels through TCL SunPower International.

1. The SunPower That Went Bankrupt Is *Not* the One Making Your Panels
   The company that filed for bankruptcy in 2024 was SunPower Corporation, a U.S.-based solar installation and services company.

   It was not the global solar manufacturing business associated with today’s SunPower-branded solar panels.

   Your SunPower panels come from TCL SunPower International, a completely separate and financially stable entity.

2. TCL SunPower International Is a Strong, Global, Stable Company
   TCL SunPower International is backed by TCL Group, a major global technology conglomerate with strong financial foundations

   The manufacturing heritage of SunPower panels originates from Maxeon Solar Technologies, known worldwide for producing some of the most durable, efficient solar modules ever made.

   Maxeon remains operational, and TCL SunPower continues that legacy under a new structure designed for long-term global growth.

3. A Warranty You Can Trust
   Your SunPower system comes with a 30-year product and performance warranty – one of the strongest in the industry. This warranty is backed by:
   • TCL’s global financial strength
   • SunPower/Maxeon’s long-standing track record in premium solar technology
   • A corporate commitment to quality, sustainability, and long-term market presence

   This combination makes the warranty highly credible and secure for decades to come.

4. Industry Momentum and Long-Term Commitment
   TCL SunPower International has demonstrated ongoing investment and growth, including: 
   • Launching new high-performance product lines for 2025
   • Joining global sustainability initiatives
   • Maintaining solar manufacturing excellence rooted in SunPower/Maxeon technology

   These are strong signals of a company planning for the next 40+ years – not stepping away from the market.

Conclusion
When buying SunPower solar panels through TCL SunPower International, you are investing in:

• A stable, globally backed solar manufacturer
• Industry-leading panels
• A trustworthy 30-year warranty
• A long-term partner committed to innovation and customer support

Your system, your investment, and your warranty are all in safe hands.
