The benefits of choosing BP Solar
As a leader in the solar industry with almost 40 years’ of experience, BP Solar is the trusted partner that can make your solar project a reality. Whether you’re interested in a solar energy system for your home, business or utility, BP Solar is the right choice for your solar needs. We offer high quality solar panels and can offer complete large-scale solutions – whatever your energy requirements might be.
Reliability and expertise
As a result of many years of technological research, development and testing by some of the brightest minds in the PV industry, BP Solar modules set the standard in reliability and durability. We test our panels well beyond industry standards, with some tests exceeding the standard by up to 250%. In a 2010 study commissioned with the independent lab of TÜV Süd, only 4 out of the top 12 solar manufacturers passed BP Solar's reliability & durability tests.
BP Solar panels also have one of the lowest rates of power degradation. Over a 25-year period, third party testing has proven that our panels degrade at a much lower rate than other brands, resulting in improved energy yield and increased return on your investment over time.
Value for the money
Generating clean electricity from the sun is becoming an economical and intelligent option, enabling people to cut energy costs and reduce exposure to rising utility prices.
BP Solar products are engineered to deliver the highest lifetime value. Our product innovations allow BP Solar panels to generate more energy per watt installed over their 25-year lifetimes, and we stand behind our products with an industry-leading power output warranty.
With our many years of experience, technical innovations, long-lasting panels and superior service, BP Solar provides one of the lowest costs per kilowatt hour (kWh) over the expected 25-year life of the system.
Guaranteed performance
Industry-leading warranty
At BP Solar, we respect our customers and believe in our products. That’s why, in 1998, we were the first company to offer a 25-year panel warranty. In 2010, we led the industry once again by announcing a significant increase to our power output warranty, guaranteeing increased power output over the lifetime of the panels. Our power-output warranties are among the best on the market for the majority of modules in our portfolio.
- 12-year limited warranty of 93% minimum power output
- 25-year limited warranty of 85% minimum power output
- 5-year limited warranty of materials and workmanship
We also offer a 5-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship. Additional warranties are available to homeowners through our Certified Installers, and a best-in-class Performance Ratio Warranty is available in our Operation and Maintenance service contracts for large commercial and utility-scale projects.

A solar electric system is an investment that will add both immediate and long-term value to your home or business.
