Maxeon Solar Technologies is undergoing a strategic restructuring of its business portfolio and geographic market to focus exclusively on the U.S.

As part of this strategy, the company has executed a five-year lease on a building in Albuquerque, N.M. and expects to begin solar panel manufacturing in the planned 2 GW capacity facility in 2026.

In rest-of-world markets, Maxeon and TCL Technology Group, the parent company of its majority shareholder, have reached agreement-in-principle for the sale of Maxeon’s EMEA, APAC and LATAM sales and marketing organization to TCL Group. The sale is slated to be incorporated into a newly formed solar solutions business unit, TCL SunPower International. The two companies have also agreed in principle for TCL Group to acquire Maxeon’s Philippines manufacturing operations.

These transactions are intended to create a global solar solutions company under TCL Group, while empowering Maxeon to capitalize on its U.S.-focused business platform. Maxeon and TCL Group anticipate signing definitive agreements by the end of the year.

“As Maxeon intensifies its focus on the U.S. market, our priority is to further expand our growing residential and commercial partner network and support our well-established base of utility-scale customers,” says George Guo, Maxeon’s CEO.

“This strategic re-focusing of our business is designed to keep us closer and more attuned to the needs of our U.S. customer base, allowing us to leverage Maxeon’s deep experience and top-tier reputation for product innovation and quality that are a result of almost 40 years of technology leadership and investments in intellectual property.”

Ask a Pro

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget.  Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means.  What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do.  You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country.  Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

I see.

There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.

LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?

Published

It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.

People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species.  Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed.  They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.

As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
