HANOVER, Germany, and SAN JOSE, Calif. — AT&T and SunPower have entered into an agreement that brings AT&T’s Internet of Things (IoT) technology to SunPower’s newest home energy solution — SunPower Equinox™. The companies will also collaborate on co-marketing efforts to offer a SunPower home solar system to qualified AT&T customers this summer.

SunPower recently released its SunPower Equinox system to homeowners in the U.S. The company stated that its solution will deliver 70 percent more energy over 25 years with 70 percent fewer visible parts compared to conventional solar. Over the next two years, AT&T and SunPower expect to wirelessly connect at least 100,000 solar electric systems in the U.S. providing customers with reliable access to system performance through AT&T’s IoT capabilities. The technology collaboration is designed to reduce onsite homeowner visits by allowing SunPower to wirelessly support solar power systems as needed and in near real-time.
