SunPower signed an agreement with Spark Energy, a retail energy provider, to offer solar technology to the partner’s new and existing customer in California and New York. After an initial pilot in those regions, the two companies may expand the offering to other areas of the U.S. as well.
"When considering a solar power system for your roof, it's important to know that not all solar panels are created equal. SunPower solar panels are the most efficient on the market today, generating up to 41% more power than conventional solar panels," said Howard Wenger, SunPower president, business units. "We're pleased to partner with Spark Energy and applaud the company's efforts to make solar accessible to more American families."
"We understand people are looking for renewable energy solutions," said Spark Energy President & CEO Nathan Kroeker. "Through the first half of this year, 60% of our energy sales have been green energy products, and we're excited that our new relationship with SunPower provides another renewable energy option to our customers."
This co-marketing arrangement continues a focus on green and renewable energy solutions for Spark Energy. Within the past year, the Houston-based retail energy provider has also introduced a carbon-neutral natural gas product and expanded its 100 percent renewable electricity offerings.
