As SunPower Approaches a Technical Wall, New Developments Come Into View 2 comments
by: Greentech Media March 24, 2010 | about: SPWRA / SPWRB
by Michael Kanellos
In crystalline silicon, the end isn't here, but it's coming into view.
Silicon solar cells, according to various researchers, will not be able to convert more than 29 to 33 percent of the light that strikes them into energy. Realistically, the limit is likely closer to 24 to 25 percent because of factors like heat, said Tom Werner, the CEO of SunPower (SPWRA, SPWRB), during a briefing with reporters late last week.
SunPower currently mass produces solar cells with a 22.5 percent efficiency and later this year will start to ship cells with an efficiency of just over 23 percent.
"It is very hard to get to 24 and 25 percent," he said. "The thermodynamic limit is around 25 percent with a pure silicon solution, but there are more innovation options that allow us to get more energy out of the module."
So what can a company that specializes in high efficiency solar panels do when faced with the principles of physics on one side and a rising tide of Chinese manufacturers bent on boosting their own efficiency?
Everything it can.
Internally, the company will explore technologies like concentrators, which increase the amount of light that shines on a solar cell, as well as other types of materials that can be added to cells to boost power output and efficiency, he said.
If history is any guide, solar manufacturers will somehow manage to circumnavigate the barrier. Hard drive makers like Seagate (STX) invested millions into optical storage, convinced that spinning drives faced an absolute wall in density. Ultimately, the industry blew past the mark with things like perpendicular storage. Chip designers have regularly hurdled seemingly impossible barriers.
The difference in the solar market is that it may not be able to pass the barrier through smooth, incremental, Moore's Law-like progress. The 29 percent barrier has existed for years. Progress may come in surges and that could favor or hurt companies like SunPower and impact the market dynamics, depending on the timing and circumstances. Bet on the wrong technology and premium pricing may be tough to justify.
Depending on the type and amount of new material added, it will come down to a debate over whether these hypothetical panels can be called crystalline silicon. The absolute record for efficiency belongs to a cell constructed of multiple layers of silicon, gallium and indium at the University of New South Wales, sporting 43 percent efficiency that could well be a hit in the market if it also wasn't too costly right now to mass produce.
Work also continues on improving absorber layers that can prevent sunlight that strikes a solar cell from escaping. While SunPower's cell efficiency is in the 22 percent range, the module efficiency rating is a few points lower.
Perhaps more importantly, SunPower will concentrate on the balance of system to reduce cost and / or extract more energy from modules. Although not as glamorous as cell design, installation can account for a large portion of a solar project. In recent years, Solar City, Sungevity and Global Solar Center have devised software that trim project planning and estimating costs, while Akeena Solar (AKNS), GreenRay, Zep Solar, Armageddon Energy and Sollega have devised all-in-one panels and new racking systems to cut costs.
SunPower currently makes a tracker, the T20, which holds solar panels at about a 20 degree angle and then tilts them from east to west during the day to track the path of the sun. The combination of the mounted angle and tilting can boost energy output by up to 30 percent, according to other SunPower execs. Tilting alone can boost power production by 4 to 10 percent.
The T20 right now is used in large, utility-scale deployments, like the 14 megawatt solar field at Nellis Air Force Base, while more standard trackers are deployed for commercial solar panel parks. In the future, it might be possible to shrink the motors and other components to put T20-like trackers in smaller environments.
"We probably have more resources on system design and grid integration than we do on the cell itself," he said. "If you have a tilted tracker that is cost-effective, you multiply all of that work on the cell by 1.3."
SunPower will also look at ways to reduce the electrical work and other construction tasks that take place on-site.
At the moment, Werner asserts the company has a technological lead. Suntech Power Holdings and a number of other solar manufacturers have launched efforts to boost high efficiency efforts. SunPower, though, still holds a lead in absolute efficiency
"The competition in the premium segment, let's call it high efficiency, is mostly talk. We don't see Chinese companies competing with us directly on energy density," he said. "We still have a significant competitive advantage in terms of technology. The only firm that is comparable to us is Sanyo."

Dafür hat Sunpower wohl den beschissensten Kundendienst weltweit. Anders kann man es nicht sagen. Habe letzten Dezember eine PV-Anlage von Sunpower aufs Dach installieren lassen. Nach nur vier Wochen ging ein Wechselrichter kaputt. Sunpower kriegt das bis heute nicht gebacken, mir einen neuen Wechselrichter trotz Garantie zu liefern und auszutauschen.
Habe jetzt Klage gegen diese Deppen eingereicht. Anders ist den Abzockern nicht beizukommen.

SunPower to Build Solar Power Plants Totaling 16.5 Megawatts for Sol.In.Build in Italy
Agreement Includes Seven Sicilian Solar Plants
MILAN, March 31, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) and Sol.In.Build Srl, a majority owned subsidiary of Veronagest SpA, today announced an agreement to build seven solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants totaling 16.5 megawatts in the Sicily region of Italy. Located on a combined total of 63 hectares, the seven plants will range in size from one to 3.5 megawatts, and will be complete by September 2010. Up to 50 jobs are expected to be created during construction.
The construction will be financed by a pool of leading Italian and international banks including Societe Generale, Unicredit Medio Credito Centrale and Dexia.
"SunPower's high-efficiency solar technology makes sense for these projects because it can be constructed quickly anywhere, including on the very sloped terrain at some of these sites," said Veronagest Chief Executive Officer Alberto Malagodi. "As a result, we will optimize energy production, helping to meet our financial objectives and Italy's renewable energy goals."
At all of the Sol.In.Build sites, SunPower will install SunPower panels, the most efficient solar panels commercially available, on fixed-tilt system technology and SunPower T0 Tracker systems. Fixed tilt systems will be used in areas with steep slopes and uneven terrain to optimize land use in those areas. The T0 Tracker tracks the sun during the day to maximize energy delivery, and requires only half the land area to produce the same amount of energy as conventional dual-axis trackers. Both technologies feature a modular design for fast, easy installation.
"High-efficiency SunPower technology at these sites will minimize land use and maximize the amount of reliable, emission-free solar power generated per hectare, which is one of the priorities of Veronagest and the Sicily region," said SunPower Vice President Gian Maria Ferrero. "This is the largest solar project to be financed in Italy this year, which underscores financier confidence in SunPower's technology and experience."
The seven power plants will be built in the Sicilian municipalities of Cerami, Licata, Caltanissetta, Calamonaci, Mussomeli and Cammarata.
SunPower has more than 200 megawatts of solar power plants operating globally today, including Italy's largest solar power plant, the 24-megawatt plant in Montalto di Castro. SunPower recently finalized the acquisition of SunRay Renewable Energy, a leading European solar power plant developer with a principle project office in Rome. With the acquisition, SunPower expanded its pipeline of solar PV projects to more than 1,200 megawatts in Italy, France, Israel, Spain, the United Kingdom and Greece.

SunPower Partners With Flextronics and Announces Silicon Valley Manufacturing Facility
Earth Day Announcement Marks SunPower's 25th Anniversary
SAN JOSE, Calif. and MILPITAS, Calif., April 22, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- In a press conference with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Flextronics (Nasdaq: FLEX) today, SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB), a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, announced that it has partnered with Flextronics to begin manufacturing solar panels in Milpitas, Calif. by the end of this year. The announcement comes 25 years to the week since SunPower was founded in Silicon Valley in 1985.
The SunPower and Flextronics partnership is expected to create approximately 100 new jobs this year, and produce 75 megawatts of SunPower solar panels annually. The West Coast location will allow SunPower to quickly and cost-effectively supply SunPower panels to solar installations at homes, commercial and public facilities, and power plants throughout the Western U.S.
"I can think of no better way to celebrate Earth Day than to highlight action that is good for both California's environment and its economy. SunPower is not only enabling homes and businesses to conserve energy and save money by going solar, they are also creating jobs at a time when they are needed most," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "Today's announcement is another example of how our state's nation-leading green policies are encouraging nation-leading green businesses to ramp up investment in California."
"We commend Governor Schwarzenegger and our state and federal leaders for creating the long-term stability and visibility we need in the solar market to open this facility," said SunPower CEO Tom Werner. "The Governor's leadership on the California Solar Initiative, the Renewable Portfolio Standard, incentives for green manufacturing equipment and AB 32 provide us with the confidence to further invest in our home state. We look forward to working with the city of Milpitas to bring back manufacturing jobs and generate new economic opportunity in Silicon Valley, where SunPower was founded 25 years ago."
Establishing a U.S. manufacturing facility is a direct result of SunPower's three-year agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) under the Solar Energy Technologies Program. Under the agreement, which was initiated in 2007, SunPower may receive up to $24 million of federal funding to implement improvements across the value chain that reduce solar system costs through improvements in the design and manufacture of integrated solar power systems. Funding from the DOE supports the research and development of both the solar panel manufacturing equipment ordered for this facility as well as commercial rooftop and tracking power plant systems which will incorporate the solar panels. Four of the equipment suppliers for SunPower's solar panel manufacturing line manufacture their tools in the United States. The equipment set used in U.S. will also be exported to a solar panel manufacturing facility located in Europe. SunPower plans to apply a U.S. federal manufacturing tax credit awarded to it from federal stimulus dollars by the DOE to support its investment in the manufacturing equipment purchased for Silicon Valley.
Last year, SunPower launched its new SunPower T5 Solar Roof Tile product, the solar industry's most powerful rooftop system, as a result of the SAI program and less than two years after the company began receiving DOE research and development funding. To date, SunPower has delivered T5 Solar Roof Tile installations for customers such as Agilent Technologies and Harvard University, and recently announced a contract to deliver 200 megawatts of the technology to Southern California Edison for the utility's large solar photovoltaic installation program.
"According to the California Public Utilities Commission, more applications were received under the California Solar Initiative (CSI) last month than in any month since the CSI was launched three years ago," Werner continued. "Solar systems are affordable today for many kinds of customers in the private and public sectors. We are installing solar across the state and around the world - from rooftops to parking lots to power plants - and this manufacturing facility will help supply the growing demand for all of these applications, providing emission-free, renewable solar power."
"We are proud to have been selected as SunPower's manufacturing partner in California," said E.C. Sykes, president of Flextronics Industrial. "Today's announcement solidifies Flextronics' leading position as the clean tech supply chain partner of choice for OEMs participating in this important and rapidly growing market sector."

SunPower Delivering Solar Power Plant for EDF in Italy
MILAN, May 6, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB), a manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, announced today that it is building a 1.3-megawatt solar power plant in the Lazio region of Italy for Solar Green Energy-SGE, a joint venture between EDF-EN Italia, a subsidiary of EDF Energies Nouvelles, and Emmecidue, an Italian project developer.
At the 4.7 hectare site in Ferentino, Frosinone province, SunPower will install its 96-cell, E 18 / 305 solar panels with an efficiency of 18 percent or higher, on SunPower T0 Tracker systems. The Tracker follows the sun during the day and delivers up to 25 percent more energy than fixed-tilt systems, requiring only half the land area to produce the same amount of energy as conventional dual-axis trackers. The plant is expected to be operational by the end of the year.
"SunPower's solar power plant experience in Italy and worldwide, as well as the company's high efficiency technology, gives us confidence that this system will be well built in a timely manner, and will maximize the clean, renewable solar power that is delivered to the community, including to the nearby Nestle ice-cream factory," said Bruno D'Onghia, president of EDF EN Italia and Solar Green Energy-SGE.
"We are extremely pleased to partner with EDF Energies Nouvelles, one of the leading renewable players worldwide, for the construction of this project. Customers rely on SunPower, with more than 225 megawatts of SunPower solar power plants operating today in Europe, and our solid track record of building highly efficient power plants quickly and cost effectively, to achieve the highest return on their investment over time," said Gian Maria Ferrero, vice president and general manager, utility and power plants for the EMEA.
EDF-EN Italia uses high-efficiency SunPower E 18 series solar panels at 6.5 megawatts of solar power plants currently operating in Italy, and is installing an additional 2.8 megawatts of SunPower technology for plants under construction.
SunPower has more than 550 megawatts of large solar power systems installed or under contract globally, including Italy's largest solar power plant, the 24-megawatt plant in Montalto di Castro. SunPower recently finalized the acquisition of SunRay Renewable Energy, a leading European solar power plant developer with a principle project office in Rome. With the acquisition, SunPower expanded its pipeline of solar power plant projects to more than 1,200 megawatts in Italy, France, Israel, Spain, the United Kingdom and Greece.

Woongjin IPO implications
■
Bottom-line: Woongjin Energy, a SPWR JV and ingot supplier, went public
in the Korean market recently. SWPR's stake in Woongjin Energy is
currently valued at 21% of SPWR’s market cap. SPWR's Woongjin stake
makes the SOTP argument for SPWR $2.50/share cheaper; there could be
mark to market accounting gains that SPWR may also realize at some point.
■
SOTP on SPWR even cheaper now: Woongjin a major ingot supplier to
SPWR went public on June 30. The company raised ~ KRW 150bb or
$123mm. Proceeds from the IPO would be invested in the KRW 270bb (or
$220mm) 3500 MT ingot plant expansion. SPWR had 42.06% stake in
Woongjin energy, post IPO the stake is worth ~$246.7mm (or 31.29% of
stock), which is 21% of SPWR’s market cap. We would caution that SPWR
has a 6 month lockup period in Woongjin Energy, it will be difficult to
monetize this asset as SPWR is the primary customer of Woongjin Energy,
and there could be international tax implications as well. That said, the IPO
does provide another way to value SPWR's stake in Woongjin Energy and
provides a bit more background to SPWR's manufacturing costs.
Woongjin Energy: This is a JV formed between SPWR and Korean conglomerate
Woongjin group in 2006, is an ingot supplier to SPWR. Other ingot suppliers to SPWR
include – Norsun, First Philec and Jiawei. (Please refer chart for SPWR’s supply chain
presence). Woongjin polysilicon, another holding company of Woongjin Group supplies
polysilicon to the JV. In addition SPWR also supplies Woongjin with polysilicon from
OCI. 95% of Woongjin ingot sales go to SPWR. Woongjin Energy is trying to expand its
customer base to domestic companies like Shingsung, Hyundai, Samsung and few
international players. Note, SPWR contract with Woongjin Energy was extended till
2016. Woongjin has an ingot capacity of 1800MT and will expand to 5300MT by Sep
2010. Woongjin Energy is currently ramping wire saw capacity at proposed 3500MT
facility. The company had KRW 31.64bb sales in 1Q10 with GM/OM of 51%/47%.
Gross Margins are higher compared to 15%-20% for wafer players like SOL and LDK.
This partly explains SPWR’s higher conversion cost (refer cost comparison chart
below).
■
Implications for SPWR: The IPO theoretically is positive to SPWR stock, as SPWR
was getting penalized for its higher cost manufacturing costs, but was not rewarded for
its Woongjin stake – the value of which has now become more apparent. While
concerns on long term cost competitiveness for SPWR has been the key issue on the
stock, note that SPWR looks even cheaper on a sum of parts: SPWR has assets in
factory (which one could interpret that AUO is willing to value at cost through its
proposed JV), probably one of the best brands in solar, strong IP (high efficiency cells)
and a large pipeline (including 210MW AC PG&E PPA and European pipelines).
Adding Woongjin Energy stake just made that SOTP argument $2.50/share cheaper;
and provides a bit more detail behind the real manufacturing costs for SPWR. Thus, we
would not be surprised if SPWR screens as an interesting M&A or JV candidate for
large international corporations that are trying to enter the solar energy market

Etrion Acquires 28-Megawatt Montalto di Castro Solar Park
ROME, Aug 09, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) today announced that Etrion Corporation (TSX: ETX), an independent solar power producer, has signed a euro 48 million definitive sale and purchase agreement to acquire the equity in the first two phases of the Montalto di Castro solar photovoltaic (PV) power park, the largest in Italy.
The acquisition of the 20-megawatt (MW) first phase of the project for euro 36 million has been completed. The acquisition of the 8 MW second phase for euro 12 million remains subject to standard closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of the third quarter, 2010. SunPower will recognize the sale of the first phase of the project as a return of capital, and will recognize revenue on the sale of the second phase, including previously deferred EPC revenue, upon close of sale, which is expected by the end of the third quarter, 2010.
SunPower designed and built the 28 MW power plant in the Lazio region of Italy near Rome, and will provide ongoing operations and maintenance services. The first 20 MW were connected to the grid in November 2009, several weeks ahead of schedule. The 8 MW second phase was commissioned this month. An incremental 44 MW is planned to be completed and sold by the end of this year, bringing the total to 72 MW. The Montalto solar park's first and second phases are rated at 28 MW on an AC basis and 33 MW on a DC basis.
"The successful sale of the first phases of the Montalto solar park is an important milestone for SunPower," said SunPower President Howard Wenger. "The sale demonstrates our progress monetizing SunPower's European power plant pipeline of more than 1,200 MW that we acquired with the purchase of SunRay Energy in March 2010, and it helps validate our model of building and selling first-class solar power parks. Our expanding utility and power plant business provides us with strong revenue visibility in Europe, the Middle East and North America through 2014."
"Successful closure of this transaction is a tribute to the professional skills of our project sales team," said Yoram Amiga, CEO of SunRay Energy, a SunPower company. "Financiers recognize SunPower's superior quality, reliability and performance as we serve local communities with clean, renewable power. We intend to complete construction of an incremental 280 MW of Italian power plants by the end of 2011."
The Montalto di Castro park uses high-efficiency SunPower solar panels, the most efficient panels commercially available, installed on a SunPower(R) Tracker system. The Tracker follows the sun during the day and delivers up to 25 percent more energy than fixed-tilt systems, while significantly reducing land use requirements.
Worldwide, SunPower has more than 600 megawatts of solar power systems installed or under contract, including more than 225 megawatts of operational power plants in Europe.

WINDSOR, Colo., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Ice Energy, a leading provider of smart-grid enabled, advanced energy storage solutions to the electric utility industry, will work with SunPower Corp., , on a unique pilot project funded by the California Public Utilities Commission that will combine its Ice Bear energy storage technology with SunPower's photovoltaic (PV) solar systems.
The project, part of the California Solar Initiative's Research, Development, Deployment and Demonstration Program, seeks to demonstrate the economic and operational benefits of integrating advanced energy storage systems with existing PV systems for peak demand reduction directly on commercial buildings. Ice Energy is one of three energy storage companies selected to participate in the program, which will be implemented by SunPower in conjunction with PG&E, KEMA, Sandia National Laboratories and a major national retailer.
"Think of it as sun + ice + wind," said Greg Tropsa, executive vice president and co-founder of Ice Energy. "All three of these technologies have the potential to be more valuable together than any single one of them alone, and that's what this project sets out to demonstrate."
"As the sun begins to set in the afternoon, the Ice Bear units will deliver stored energy to bridge the gap between increasing building electrical demand and decreasing solar energy production," Tropsa explained. "The project will demonstrate that the combination of solar and ice storage will significantly reduce a building's peak demand charge, saving money for the consumer and helping the environment by reducing the need for utilities to dispatch fossil fuel-fired peaking generators. The bonus is the Ice Bear storage units are recharged during the off-peak hours, absorbing wind and surplus low cost base load generation."
The goal of the CPUC California Solar Initiative (CSI) is to create 1,940 megawatts of new, solar-produced electricity by 2016, moving the state toward a cleaner energy future and helping to lower the cost of solar systems for consumers. The CSI RD&D program provides grants to fund solar research and demonstration projects that will measurably reduce the cost and accelerate the adoption of solar, or other distributed technologies, such as storage, that could employ solar, for alternative generation, and reduce the use of natural gas and other fossil-fuel generation.

"As the sun begins to set in the afternoon, the Ice Bear units will deliver stored energy to bridge the gap between increasing building electrical demand and decreasing solar energy production," Tropsa explained. "The project will demonstrate that the combination of solar and ice storage will significantly reduce a building's peak demand charge, saving money for the consumer and helping the environment by reducing the need for utilities to dispatch fossil fuel-fired peaking generators. The bonus is the Ice Bear storage units are recharged during the off-peak hours, absorbing wind and surplus low cost base load generation."
The goal of the CPUC California Solar Initiative (CSI) is to create 1,940 megawatts of new, solar-produced electricity by 2016, moving the state toward a cleaner energy future and helping to lower the cost of solar systems for consumers. The CSI RD&D program provides grants to fund solar research and demonstration projects that will measurably reduce the cost and accelerate the adoption of solar, or other distributed technologies, such as storage, that could employ solar, for alternative generation, and reduce the use of natural gas and other fossil-fuel generation.
SAN FRANCISCO | Thu Sep 9, 2010 6:57pm EDT
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Solar panel maker SunPower Corp is planning to research large-scale storage technologies, a key requirement for the widespread use of renewable energy.
SunPower, with the help of a grant of about $1.8 million from California through the state's solar initiative program, will partner with three storage companies to develop a pilot program for commercial customers, the company said.
Inventing less costly ways to store energy has so far been a stumbling block toward widespread use of solar power.
U.S. utilities are racing to increase their production of electricity from renewable energy sources to meet stricter state environmental rules and to gear up for any U.S. move to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.
But wind and solar are intermittent energy sources, and storing the power -- at an economically viable rate -- is seen as crucial to making 'alternative' energy truly mainstream.
SunPower's energy storage program will be put in place with the help of a major retailer to demonstrate the integration of energy storage systems with existing photovoltaic systems, SunPower said. It did not name the retailer.
The company will work with energy storage firms Ice Energy, Xtreme Power and ZBB Energy on this program.

"Total and SunPower will collaborate to ensure that solar becomes a platform for an efficient, competitive and sustainable energy future. Already, SunPower's high-efficiency, high-reliability solar photovoltaic power plant costs are competitive with other new resources."
"SunPower is preparing for rapid expansion through the next decade," added Boisseau. "We look forward to supporting SunPower as a strategic partner with whom we expect to find many synergies with our solar activities as well as with Total Group overall, while maintaining their entrepreneurial culture of rapid innovation."
Transaction Details
Under the terms of the tender offer agreement, SunPower shareholders will receive $23.25 per share in cash at closing for each share validly tendered in the tender offer, subject to pro-ration in the event that more than 60 percent of SunPower's Class A and Class B shares are tendered. Total expects to begin its tender offer within 10 business days. Following the completion of the transaction, SunPower's shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbols "SPWRA" and "SPWRB." The closing of the tender offer is conditioned on a minimum of 50% of the outstanding shares of each of the Class A and Class B common stock being tendered, clearance by U.S. and European Union antitrust authorities, and other customary closing conditions.
Under the credit support agreement, Total will offer to guarantee an amount up to $1 billion of SunPower's repayment obligations with respect to letters of credit issued over the next five years in connection with SunPower's global utility power plant and large commercial installation businesses. This credit support should allow SunPower to substantially reduce the total costs of its letters of credit and financing. SunPower's affiliation with Total is expected to benefit SunPower, lowering its cost of capital and increasing its access to uncollateralized debt financing.
In addition, SunPower and Total have entered into an affiliation agreement under which Total will nominate a majority of directors to SunPower's board of directors, which will be expanded to 11 members following the closing. This agreement also includes conditions on Total's ability to purchase additional shares of SunPower. Specified transactions between Total and SunPower shall be approved in advance by SunPower's independent board members.
SunPower and Total have also entered into a research and collaboration agreement under which the companies will focus on advancing photovoltaic technologies across multiple research and development projects.
SunPower intends to call a meeting of its stockholders within six months following closing to combine its Class A and Class B common stock into a single class of common stock with one vote per share. This plan is subject to the company's receipt of a tax opinion that such reclassification will be permitted on a tax free basis, and Total has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the reclassification.
SunPower will discuss this release and provide an update on its 2011 first quarter results, which will be released on May 12, 2011 in a conference call on Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The call-in number is 517-623-4618, passcode SunPower. The call will be webcast and can be accessed from SunPower's website at http://investors.SunPowercorp.com/events.cfm.
SunPower Provides Preliminary Second-Quarter 2011 Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWRA, SPWRB) today announced preliminary results for its fiscal second-quarter ended July 3, 2011.
For the 2011 second-quarter, SunPower expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $590 million to $595 million, in line with its previous outlook of $550 million to $600 million.
The company now expects its second-quarter non-GAAP gross margin to be in the range of approximately 12 percent to 13 percent, compared to its previously announced outlook of 15 percent to 17 percent. The company also expects its non-GAAP earnings per share for the quarter to be a loss of approximately ($0.19) to ($0.20) from its previous outlook of ($0.05) to $0.10 per share. Preliminary second quarter results reflect a shift in product mix related to market conditions in Germany and recent policy changes in Italy. On a GAAP basis, the company expects gross margin to be in the range of approximately 3 percent to 4 percent and a GAAP loss per share of approximately ($1.50) to ($1.55). Preliminary GAAP financial results include one-time pre-tax charges totaling approximately $75 million, including $29.3 million related to the company's panel reallocation strategy, $13.1 million in expenses related to the Total tender offer, and $32.5 million related to the write-down of third-party inventory and costs associated with the termination of third-party cell supply contracts.
"While we met our revenue goals for the second quarter, our gross margin and bottom line performance was impacted by market conditions in Germany and Italy," said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO. "Despite these challenges, we successfully reduced inventory quarter over quarter and have begun the process of cancelling above-market third-party cell contracts. In addition, we continue to execute on our accelerated cost reduction roadmap and are ahead of our original plan. With the closure of the Total transaction, we commenced negotiations with banks to effectively utilize our $1 billion credit support agreement and expect to enter into new and more flexible credit facilities shortly. With continued strong demand for our high-efficiency systems and our partnership with Total, we are poised to gain share profitably."
SunPower will discuss its second quarter performance and update its 2011 outlook on a conference call on Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. PDT. The call-in number is 517-623-4618, passcode SunPower. The call will be webcast and can be accessed from SunPower's website at http://investors.SunPowercorp.com/events.cfm.
