Complete Solaria Agrees to Terms to Sell Certain North American Solar Panel Assets
FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Complete Solaria, Inc. (“Complete Solaria” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CSLR), a leading solar technology, services, and installation company, today announced they have entered into a Non-Binding Letter of Intent to sell certain Complete Solaria’s North American solar panel assets to a global, tier-1 panel manufacturer. The agreement also includes a provision for the buyer to supply premium, high-power solar panels to Complete Solaria.
Complete Solaria CEO, Will Anderson, said, “We are shifting our business away from manufacturing and toward our highest margin, most popular ‘total-service model’ in which we design, install, and warranty full solar systems. However, we will maintain access to our market-leading premium panels that support our end-to-end customer offering. Our Pro Partner installers will also benefit with access to a broader range of products. This is a great deal for us. It will supply valuable cash to the business, lower our operating costs, and help us achieve profitability sooner.”
Further information about the transaction will be published in due course. Deal closing is expected by the end of September. There can be no assurance that the transaction will close. Key terms and closing schedule may be subject to change.
