This seems typical, no mention(s) of manufacturing solar PV by using solar PV to power the manufacturing line. Well, positioning the “company” Werner would have been using non-fueled energy to manufacture non-fueled solar PV panels. Expanding the product line manufacturing to more output in the U.S. and using the (fact) of solar PV manufactured by solar PV generated energy would help in the Paris accord countries for their own self imposed decarbonization edicts. You’ve left a lot of money on the table Werner, time to pack your bags and leave.

” Maxeon and SunPower are cooperating to develop and commercialize next generation solar panel technologies, with early stage research conducted by SunPower’s Silicon Valley-based research and development group, and deployment-focused innovation and scale-up carried out by Maxeon.”

As soon as this new technology is made available, it will no longer be the specific intellectual property of SunPower and will cost over the long run, by intellectual property bleeding along the way. Nice “Corporate view” Werner. “The technology community steals all of the time, your partners steal from you less often.”

What a pathetic overall business plan and model to accept as one’s own.
