Current report
On September 30, 2024, we acquired the SunPower Businesses for consideration of $54.5 million which we financed through the issuance of $66.8 million of 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes in September 2024. These notes mature on July 1, 2029 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a current conversion rate of $1.71 per share. The SunPower Businesses operated as a solar technology and energy services provider that offered fully integrated solar, storage, and home energy solutions to customers in the United States through an array of hardware, software, and “Smart Energy” solutions. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805,Business Combinations.
Current report
Sunder Energy LLC
Current report
On September 24, 2025, we acquired all of the membership interests in Sunder Energy LLC (“Sunder”) for consideration of $57.8 million. We financed this transaction through (1) $20.7 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments; (2) a promissory note to the seller in the principal amount of $20.0 million (“Seller Note”); and (3) 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $17.1 million (based on the $1.71 closing share price of the Company’s common stock on September 24, 2025). We issued 3.3 million shares at the acquisition date and will issue the remining shares in two equal tranches of 3.3 million shares at 12 months and 18 months following the date of acquisition. Sunder is a solar sales company. Sunder provides a third-party solar energy sales force to initiate and execute contracts with customers throughout the United States. Sunder’s sales force works with solar installation companies in which Sunder acts as the agent for each transaction entered.

We acquired Sunder as a strategic acquisition to expand its overall market share and its penetration into more U.S. states. We accounted for this transaction as a business combination under ASC 805.
Current report
Ambia Energy LLC
Current report
On November 21, 2025, we acquired all of the membership interests in Ambia Energy LLC (“Ambia”) for consideration of $33.4 million. We financed this acquisition through the issuance of 10.2 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $16.5 million on the date of acquisition and an agreement to issue an additional $16.9 million in shares of our common stock in two tranches with the final issuance on the 12-month anniversary of the Ambia closing. Ambia is a residential solar energy system installer and operates in various markets throughout the United States.
Current report
We recognize revenue for the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business reportable segments when installation is substantially complete, the system is capable of interconnection to the local power grid, and control has transferred to the customer.
Current report
Installation activities—including system design, equipment delivery, installation, and grid interconnection—are treated as a single performance obligation. For most contracts, revenue is recognized over time beginning upon installation, using an input method based on direct installation costs. Installation costs incurred prior to this point are deferred.
Current report
Residential Solar Installation revenue is generated through cash sales, third-party financing arrangements, and power purchase or lease structures. Homeowners are the customers in cash and financing arrangements, while leasing partners are the customers in power purchase and lease arrangements. New Homes Business revenue is primarily generated from sales to homebuilders, with limited lease arrangements recognized upon system acceptance.
Current report
Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, net of customer incentives and financing-related fees, and may include estimated variable consideration. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed or collected in advance of performance. None of the Company’s arrangements contain a significant financing component.
Current report
With respect to our Dealer reportable segment, we earn revenue from contracts in which solar installations are performed by third-party installation companies. In these arrangements, our performance obligation is to facilitate the transaction and arrange for installation services rather than provide those services directly. As a result, we act as an agent and recognize revenue on a net basis, representing the fee retained by us.
Current report
Dealer revenue is recognized at a point in time when Permission to Operate (“PTO”) is obtained, which indicates that installation is complete and the system is authorized for operation. These arrangements do not include significant financing components, and we do not provide warranty services related to dealer-installed systems.

Current report
Revenue recognition involves significant judgment in determining the timing of control transfer, identification of the customer, estimation of variable consideration, and measurement of progress toward completion. For the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business segments, the Company’s performance obligation is the design and installation of a fully functioning solar energy system, which includes design, equipment delivery, installation, and grid interconnection services. These activities are combined into a single performance obligation.
Current report
Revenue is generally recognized over time using an input method based on direct installation costs, beginning when installation is complete and control of the system begins to transfer to the customer. This approach requires management to estimate total expected installation costs, and changes in these estimates may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized. Installation costs incurred prior to the transfer of control are deferred.
Current report
For certain New Homes Business lease arrangements, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon system acceptance. In arrangements involving financing partners or leasing partners, judgment is required to determine the appropriate customer, which affects revenue timing and presentation. Dealer segment revenue is recognized on a net basis at the point in time when Permission to Operate is obtained.
Current report
The transaction price may include variable consideration, which is estimated using the most likely amount and constrained to amounts for which a significant revenue reversal is not probable. Estimates are reassessed each reporting period, and changes are recognized prospectively. Revenue is recorded net of customer incentives and does not include a significant financing component. Changes in assumptions related to these estimates could materially affect reported revenue and deferred balances.
Current report
Dealer revenue is recognized at a point in time when PTO is obtained, which indicates that installation is complete and the system is authorized for operation. These arrangements do not include significant financing components, and we do not provide warranty services related to dealer-installed systems.
Current report
Residential Solar Installation revenue increased primarily attributed to a full year of Solar Installation due to the acquisition of SunPower Businesses at the beginning of our fourth quarter in fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. New Homes Business increased due to the sale of solar system sales to home builders and the completion of backlog projects acquired with the SunPower Businesses. Dealer revenues are attributable to the acquisition of Sunder.
Current report
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Current report
Residential Solar Installation cost of revenue increase is primarily attributed to a full year of Solar Installation as described above. New Homes Business cost of revenue increased as a result of a full year of completing backlog and the inventory costs associated with each solar system sale. Cost of revenues attributable to the Dealer network is attributable to the acquisition of Sunder.
Current report
The increase in gross margins is attributed to operational efficiencies gained through the synergies created by consolidating the various lines of business and streamlining direct overhead costs attributed to each solar installation.
Current report
Residential Solar and New Homes Business sales commission increased from the prior fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue.
Current report
Residential Solar Installation expense increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 due to increase in overall headcount due to combined business and increasing sales and marketing footprint. New Homes Business increased when compared to prior year primarily attributable to our decision to invest in sales and marketing efforts in fiscal 2025.
Current report
Residential Solar Installation expenses decreased as a result of declines in our legacy operations following a strategic resizing of this reportable segment including reduction of personnel costs. New Homes Business increased due a full year of operations in fiscal 2025. Dealer reportable segment expenses increased entirely attributable to our acquisition of Sunder.
Current report
Interest expense inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs was $25.1 million in fiscal 2025 and principally consisted of $20.4 million attributable to our 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes and $3.4 million attributable to our 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes with the remainder attributable to interest expense on our other obligations.
Current report
Interest expense inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs was $16.2 million in fiscal 2024 and principally consisted of (i) $5.5 million related to our 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, (ii) $3.5 million related to our 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, (iii) $5.8 million relating to obligations that were exchanged during fiscal 2024 for 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, and (iv) other of $1.4 million.
Current report
Other Non-Operating Income, Net
Current report
Other non-operating income, net, was $9.3 million in in fiscal 2025. Other income principally consisted of $11.5 million of gains from changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with our 12.0% and 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes and other non-cash income and other of $1.3 million. These gains were partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in the fair value of our public, private placement and working capital warrants accounted for as liabilities, $0.5 million increase in the fair value of our forward purchase agreements liabilities, and $0.2 million increase in the fair value of a SAFE Agreement liability.
Current report
Sources of Liquidity
Current report
We finance our continuing operations through the revenue we collect and through the issuance of debt and equity instruments. For expenses related to mergers and acquisition and payments on our debt obligation we rely on sales of equity securities, the issuance of debt instruments, SAFE Agreements, leases and cash generated from operations. Our cash equivalents are on deposit with major financial institutions. Our cash position raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, we issued a $20.0 million Seller note and $22.0 million of 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes to finance our acquisition of Sunder. We also issued $7.0 million in 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes to entities related to our CEO in fiscal 2025 to finance our operations.
Current report
As of December 28, 2025, we had negative working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, of $38.0 million.

Borrowings
Current report
Our contractual debt obligations consist of the following principal amounts excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and accrued interest*(in thousands)*:
Current report
In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, we issued $7.0 million principal amount of 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes to an entity controlled by our CEO, for an aggregate related party principal balance of $25.0 million principal amount of the 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes. In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, we issued $22.0 million principal amount of 7% senior unsecured convertible notes and $14.7 million principal amount of 7% senior unsecured convertible notes were converted into approximately 8.6 million shares of our common stock. We pay interest on both the 7.0% and 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes semi-annually on January 1 and July 1. The principal amount of these senior unsecured convertible notes is due in full on July 1, 2029.

SunPower Acquisition Transaction
Previous report
On August 5, 2024, we entered into the aforementioned APA among us and the SunPower Debtors which provided for the sale and purchase of certain assets relating to the Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes Business and Non-Installing Dealer network previously operated by the SunPower Debtors (the “Acquired SunPower Assets”). The sale by SunPower was approved on September 23, 2024, by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. We completed the acquisition (“Acquisition”) of the Acquired SunPower Assets (“SunPower Businesses”) effective September 30, 2024.
Previous report
Financing of the Acquisition
Previous report
Complete Solaria financed the Acquisition by issuing 7% convertible senior notes (“September 2024 Notes”) in September 2024, which are due in 2029. The September 2024 Notes mature on July 1, 2029 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion rate of $2.14 per share. The September 2024 Notes will become immediately due and payable at the option of the holder in the event of default and upon a qualifying change of control event.
Previous report
Revenue is recognized for Residential Solar Installation and New Home Business when a customer obtains control of promised products and services and we have satisfied our performance obligations which is the date by which substantially all of our design and installation is complete for a fully functioning solar power system to interconnect to the local power grid.
Previous report
Installation includes the design of a solar energy system, the delivery of the components of the solar energy system (i.e., photovoltaic system, inverter, battery storage, etc.), installation services and services facilitating the connection of the solar energy system to the power grid. We account for these services as inputs to a combined output, resulting in a single service-based performance obligation.
Previous report
The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the products and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps:

Our Residential Solar Installation segment sells products through a network of installing and non-installing dealers and resellers, as well as our internal sales team. Our contracts with customers include three primary contract types:
Previous report
Our New Homes Business sells through a network of home builders as well as our internal sales team. Our contracts with customers include two primary contract types:
Previous report
Our performance obligation for both reportable segments is to design and install a fully functioning solar energy system. For all contract types (with the exception of New Homes Business Lease agreements), we recognize revenue over time. Our over-time revenue recognition begins when the solar power system is fully installed (as it is at this point that control of the asset begins to be transferred to the customer and the customer retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the solar power system). We recognize revenue using the input method based on direct costs to install the system and defer the costs of installation until such time that control of the asset transfers to the customer (installation). For New Homes Business Lease agreements, we consider the performance obligation to be satisfied at a point in time upon acceptance of the system by the customer.
Previous report
Revenue is generally recognized at the transaction price contained within the agreement, net of costs of financing, or other consideration paid to the customers that is not in exchange for a distinct good or service. Our arrangements may contain clauses that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. Variable consideration is estimated at each measurement date at its most likely amount to the extent that it is probably that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and true-ups are applied prospectively as such estimates change.
Previous report
We record deferred revenue for amounts invoiced that are received in advance of the provisioning of services. In certain contracts with customers, we arrange for a third-party financing partner to provide financing to the customer. We collect upfront from the financing partner and the customer will provide installment payments to the financing partner. We record revenue in the amount received from the financing partner, net of any financing fees charged to the homeowner, which we consider to be a customer incentive. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component.

Income Tax Expense
Previous report
Income tax expense primarily consists of income taxes in certain foreign and state jurisdictions in which we conduct business.
Previous report
We rely on a small number of suppliers of solar energy systems and other equipment. If any of our suppliers was unable or unwilling to provide us with contracted quantities in a timely manner at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to us, we would have very limited alternatives for supply, and we may not be able find suitable replacements for our customers, or at all. Such an event could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report
Includes stock-based compensation expense as follows (in thousands):
Previous report
Total revenues increased by $21.1 million or 24%, during 2024 compared to 2023. This increase includes $84.6 million in revenue generated from the SunPower acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in legacy solar energy system installation of $61.0 million or 70% when compared to the previous year. The decrease in Residential Solar Installation during 2024 is primarily a result of decreased demand for solar energy systems due to the net energy metering program (“NEM 3.0”) that went live in California in April 2023, an overall softening in the industry due to reduced economic outlook in key markets, and rising interest rates.
Previous report
The decrease in software enhanced services during 2024 was the result of a shift in focus towards solar energy installations.
Previous report
Cost of Revenues
Previous report
Total costs of revenues decreased by $0.5 million, during 2024 compared to 2023. This decrease includes $49.0 million in cost of revenue generated from the SunPower acquisition partially offset by a $49.5 million or 1% decrease in costs attributable to decrease in legacy solar energy systems revenues
Previous report
Gross Margin
Previous report
Gross margin increased from 20% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 to 36% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributed to the SunPower acquisition. New Homes Business has a higher gross margin because the systems are integrated into new builds whereas solar system installations require retrofitting that may require additional labor and costly renovations for optimal roof orientation and proper installation.
Previous report
The decrease in Residential Solar Installations commissions during 2024 compared to 2023 is attributed to a decrease in sales in solar system installation revenue and overall decrease in customer acquisition costs.
Previous report
Residential Solar Installation expense decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 due to the decrease in revenues and a reduction in incentives and rebates for the solar energy system installations.

The Mergers between Complete Solaria and FACT has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, FACT is treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the Company having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, the Company’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, and the Company’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Mergers have been treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Complete Solaria is issuing stock for the net assets of FACT. The net assets of FACT have been stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

In October 2023, we completed the divestiture of our solar panel business to Maxeon (“Divestiture”), pursuant to the terms of the Disposal Agreement. Under the terms of the Disposal Agreement, Maxeon agreed to acquire certain assets and employees of Complete Solaria, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.0 million consisting of 1,100,000 shares of Maxeon ordinary shares. We determined that the criteria were met for discontinued operations classification as the divestiture represented a strategic shift in our business. In connection with the Divestiture, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $2.0 million and $173.4 million in the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We also sold all the Maxeon shares in the year ended December 31, 2023, and recorded a $4.2 million loss on the sale of these shares in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In addition, the global supply chain and our industry have experienced significant disruptions in recent periods. We have seen supply chain challenges and logistics constraints increase, including shortages of panels, inverters, batteries and associated component parts for inverters and solar energy systems available for purchase, which materially impacted our results of operations. In an effort to mitigate unpredictable lead times, we experienced a substantial build up in inventory on hand commencing in early 2022 in response to global supply chain constraints. In certain cases, this has caused delays in critical equipment and inventory, longer lead times, and has resulted in cost volatility. These shortages and delays can be attributed in part to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting government action, as well as broader macroeconomic conditions, and have been exacerbated by the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. While we believe that a majority our suppliers have secured sufficient supply to permit them to continue delivery and installations through the end of 2023, if these shortages and delays persist into 2024, they could adversely affect the timing of when battery energy storage systems can be delivered and installed, and when (or if) we can begin to generate revenue from those systems. If any of our suppliers of solar modules experienced disruptions in the supply of the modules’ component parts, for example semiconductor solar wafers or investors, this may decrease production capabilities and restrict our inventory and sales. In addition, we have experienced and are experiencing varying levels of volatility in costs of equipment and labor resulting in part from disruptions caused by general global economic conditions. While inflationary pressures have resulted in higher costs of products, in part due to an increase in the cost of the materials and wage rates, these additional costs have been offset by the related rise in electricity rates.

We cannot predict the full effects the supply chain constraints will have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations at this time due to numerous uncertainties. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances on our ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance, the full impact of macroeconomic factors, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impact of delays or price volatility in solar energy systems, raw materials, and freight, it could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. For additional information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” located elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We record all acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and other identifiable intangible assets at fair value. The initial recording of goodwill, other identifiable intangible assets, requires certain estimates and assumptions concerning the determination of the fair values and useful lives. The judgments made in the context of the purchase price allocation can materially affect our future results of operations. Accordingly, for significant acquisitions, we obtain assistance from third-party valuation specialists. The valuations calculated from estimates are based on information available at the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual tests for impairment or more frequent tests if events or circumstances indicate it may be impaired. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount.

Other income (expense), net was $7.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. The expenses consisted primarily of and increased due to $34.0 million gain on remeasurement of derivative liability, and $6.5 million due to the change in fair value of warrant liability, warrants, forward purchase agreement liabilities and SAFE Agreement. The increase is offset by $24.7 million loss on issuance of a derivative liability, $1.3 million change in the fair value of FACT public, private placement and working capital warrants, $1.3 million loss on conversion of SAFE agreements to common stock with a related party and $3.8 million in other financing costs.

Since inception, we have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. We incurred net losses of $56.5 million and $269.6 million, during the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $411.4 million and current debt of $1.5 million as of December 29, 2024. We had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million as of December 29, 2024, which were held for working capital expenditures. We believe our operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue into the foreseeable future. We have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities, the issuance of convertible notes and cash generated from operations. Our cash equivalents are on deposit with major financial institutions. Our cash position raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

On July 17, 2024, we entered into the third amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement with Polar (the “Polar Third Amendment”), pursuant to which we and Polar agreed that Section 2 (Most Favored Nation) of the Forward Purchase Agreement is applicable to all 2,450,000 shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

The FPA Amendments extend the valuation date applicable to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “Valuation Date”) to the earliest to occur of (a) July 17, 2026, (b) the date specified by Meteora or Sandia, as applicable, in a written notice to be delivered to us at their discretion and (c) 90 days after delivery by us of a written notice in the event that for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period that occurs at least six months after the closing date of the transactions under the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into on May 26, 2023, the applicable volume-weighted average price (“VWAP Price”) is less than the then applicable reset price, provided that a registration statement was effective and available for the entire measurement period and remains continuously effective and available during the entire 90 day notice period. The FPA Amendments further amend the definition of “Settlement Amount Adjustment” to provide that if the expected Settlement Amount (as defined in the FPA Amendments) determined by the VWAP Price over the 15 scheduled trading days ending on but excluding the valuation date exceeds the Settlement Amount Adjustment, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be deemed to be zero, and that if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of our common stock. The FPA Amendments also amend the definition of “Cash Settlement Payment Date” to provide that if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, we shall remit to the applicable seller the difference between (i) the Settlement Amount Adjustment and (ii) the Settlement Amount. The FPA Amendments further provide that the Settlement Amount will be used solely as a calculation mechanism to determine any liability we may owe to the applicable seller via the Settlement Amount Adjustment, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the applicable seller shall not be required to remit the Settlement Amount to the Company or return any portion of the Prepayment Amount.

We will receive the proceeds from any cash exercise of any warrants. The aggregate amount of proceeds could be up to $257.3 million if all the warrants are exercised for cash. However, to the extent the warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the warrants will decrease. The Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis.” The Public Warrants and the Mergers Warrants may only be exercised for cash provided there is then an effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants. If there is not a then-effective registration statement, then such warrants may be exercised on a “cashless basis,” pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. We expect to use any such proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase our liquidity. As of April 28, 2025, the price of our common stock was $2.05 per share. The weighted average exercise price of the warrants was $8.12 as of December 29, 2024. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the market price of our common stock. If the market price for our common stock remains less than the exercise price, we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise. In which case we will not receive any proceeds from the cash exercise of the warrants.

Complete Solaria expects to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards.

On July 18, 2023, we consummated a series of merger transactions contemplated by an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Freedom Acquisition I Corp. (“FACT”) (“Mergers”), equating to a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes. Under the reverse recapitalization of accounting, FACT was treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. This determination was based on us having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, our senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, and our operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Mergers were treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which we issued stock for the net assets of FACT. The net assets of FACT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
