The benefits of BP Solar power to homeowners

Peace of mind

Your BP Solar Certified Installer will review your energy needs and recommend the best system to fit your budget. The Installer will manage the entire installation process, including assisting with any building permits and applicable rebates.

Satisfaction guaranteed

BP Solar was the first company to offer a 25-year power warranty, and, in 2010, we were the first major company to guarantee a minimum power output of 93% for the first 12 years and 85% through 25 years for our solar panels*.

*For the majority of modules in our portfolio

Quality assured

Our superior quality comes from our long history, precision engineering, accelerated testing and quality construction. We’ve pioneered many of the advanced solar cell processes and designs that are available in the market today.

We exceed industry standards

Our internal tests exceed the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard by up to 250%, and our technology has proven its reliability on wind-swept mountaintops, weather stations in the bitter cold of Antarctica, and wells in Africa’s blazing deserts – even on satellites orbiting in space. We are confident that our solar systems will perform consistently on your roof.

Safety certifications

BP Solar panels are listed to the UL 1703 Standard for Safety and are certified according to the IEC qualifications for photovoltaic panels.

Put simply, we make a product that is safe for you and your family.
