Sunpower Corporate Office

Founded in 1985 by Dr. Richard Swanson, SunPower actually had its start in the 1970’s when Dr. Swanson conducted research on how solar cells, which were used only on satellites at the time, could be used in both residential and commercial settings.

With funds from the Electric Power Research Institute, the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as start up funds from several other venture capital firms, SunPower was incorporated in April of 1985.

Today, SunPower designs and manufactures crystalline silicon solar cells, solar panels, and roof top solar tiles based on a silicone backed design developed at Stanford University. The company has projects around the world and recently announced that they would allow Ford electric car buyers an option to install solar panels on the roof of the car, which would charge the battery.

SunPower is publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker symbol SPWR.
