The SunPower Maxeon 7 combines some of the strongest specifications available to UK homeowners, including efficiency of up to 24 per cent, high output from each panel and warranty cover lasting as long as 40 years. These qualities helped it earn the top spot in our guide to the best solar panels, but they also come at a premium price.
That doesn’t necessarily make the Maxeon 7 poor value. Its ability to generate more electricity from a limited area could make it particularly useful for smaller roofs and its low rate of degradation should help it maintain its output for decades. However, households with plenty of roof space or relatively modest electricity use may be able to achieve similar overall generation with a less expensive system.
