SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWRA, SPWRB) announced it is offering its high efficiency solar power systems to Orchard Supply Hardware customers via information displays at Orchard Supply Hardware's California stores and at www.OSH.com. The displays and online information describe the features of SunPower residential solar technology, the process for installing a home solar power system, and information on contacting a local SunPower dealer.
Also available is information on financing options for the systems, including the SunPower® Lease. In addition to low monthly payments with no upfront cost, benefits of the lease program include a direct-from-manufacturer performance guarantee and an early buy-out option that allows homeowners to capitalize on solar home resale values. Homeowners can also obtain SunPower systems through a cash purchase or SunPower's loan program, which offers a variety of low-interest options.

"Orchard Supply Hardware customers can rely on SunPower systems to deliver guaranteed performance -- maximizing the power generated on the roof, and their monthly savings, over the long-term," said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO. "Homeowners have many financing options when they choose a SunPower system, and SunPower dealers work with customers to ensure they choose the financing option that is right for them.
