At the Verge conference in San Jose in October 2015, Tom Werner of SunPower talked of the innovation and cost-savings aspects of the new Helix system for commercial installations: “You can mount panels on the roof at a 10 degree tilt with no tools with Helix so we’ve made putting the panel on the roof snap-in. Now, you think well is that a big deal? Half the cost of the system for a commercial system is BOS. So it’s a huge deal.”
Helix is the world’s first fully-integrated commercial solar platform.
Robert Eckhardt has used solutions from SunPower to reduce energy costs at Bed Bath & Beyond stores across the U.S. In talking about Helix, Eckhardt remarked: “Having a plug and play system [like Helix], I think is really a game changer and really gonna help increase our solar program and do it in more and more stores.”
