SC are newly manufacturers. SC bought SIlevo and plans a highly automated facility in Ohio I believe. They may intend to honor a warranty that is beyond what the current panels should be. But since the mostly own the panels and the electrons they make for the installations, it is not worth their while for them to be broken. It is a good deal if they don't fold someday. Sunpower is bonded so if they go out of business, there is a mechanism to honor the warranty.
In a short time, I couldn't find what seemed like a complete warranty for all their products. They talk about 21% efficiency, but I only found this warranty for an 18.4% system: http://silevosolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Silevo-Triex-R-Series-Datasheet4.pdf It is comparable in time to Sunpower, but not as high efficiency. It is limited whereas the Sunpower is not.
