SunPower Offering Home Solar Systems for $0 Down and "6 Months on Us"
Company Making Solar Energy More Accessible to Homeowners in a Challenging Economy Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ:SPWR) today introduced an unparalleled new solar promotion to provide energy savings and security to U.S. families in immediate need of payment flexibility.

For zero down and the first six payments covered by SunPower through a VISA Reward Card Rebate1, qualified customers can access the most efficient home solar panels on the market. This new offer is available on 20-year loans offered by SunPower or select SunPower leases signed by May 31, 2020. As with all SunPower® systems, homeowners will also benefit from the industry's most comprehensive 25-year warranty.

"Americans are facing a challenging environment right now and we want to make it easier for them to go solar, lowering their electric bills as soon as possible, while offsetting the cost of the system for six months," said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of North America Channels. "Through our online energy consultations, homeowners can access electricity savings without leaving the comfort and safety of their homes. Additionally, customers can rest assured that SunPower solar installations are completed in a safety conscious manner."

For customers wishing to purchase a solar system outright, or finance with a 10-year or 15-year loan, SunPower also announced a $1,036 VISA Reward Card rebate2 on qualifying systems. These offers ensure homeowners can access clean energy and solar savings, regardless of their needs.
