The agreement between the parties requires Giulio Barbieri to deliver carports depending on customer specifications.
SunPower’s local partners will oversee installation of the complete system, including the aluminum structure, solar panels and inverters.
The SunPower Carport design incorporates 18, 24 or 32 of SunPower’s 96-cell, high-efficiency solar panels, delivering about 5.9kW to 10.5kW, depending on the system size.
SunPower regions president Howard Wenger said the company is currently designing and installing commercial solar carport systems at schools and businesses across North America.
"Partnering with Giulio Barbieri will enable SunPower to offer the same high efficiency, high reliability solar panels to homeowners wanting to power their homes with solar, but have constrained rooftops," Wenger said.
Giulio Barbieri president Giulio Barbieri said SunPower chose the company’s structures for the elegance of design and ease of installation, as its carports have concrete bases and do not require any groundwork.
"Our solid reputation in the market for quality and reliable carport structures, coupled with SunPower’s high efficiency solar panels, provide customers an artistic and effective solution, capable of enhancing, in an attractive manner, external parking lots especially in residential complexes," Barbieri said.
SunPower is a manufacturer of high efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems.
Giulio Barbieri is an Italian manufacturer of aluminum modular coverings for both residential and public application.
