Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our securities, you should consider carefully the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Form 10-K, including the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A thereof. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” above. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Any of the risks discussed in the Form 10-K, in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other risks we have not anticipated or discussed, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Except as set forth below, there has been no material change to our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in the Form 10‑K.

Changes in the United States trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs, have and could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations or cash flows.

Our business is dependent upon the availability of raw materials and components for assembly. During 2025, the United States imposed significant new tariffs on nearly all products and components imported into the United States and pursued a new approach to trade policy that included renegotiating or terminating pre-existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements, enacting sweeping new tariffs on all imports, and imposing additional “reciprocal” tariffs on targeted imports from specified countries. A subset of our products is sourced from China and India, and certain components necessary to manufacture our products in the United States, including our microinverters, batteries and related accessories, are imported from China, India, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan, among other countries.

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed by the U.S. under IEEPA were invalid. The U.S. Supreme Court did not address refunds or remedies but instead remanded the matter to the Court of International Trade to address remedies. In response, the President issued an executive order rescinding the IEEPA tariffs and directing agencies to take measures to cease collection of the tariffs. However, a presidential proclamation was issued imposing a temporary import surcharge under Section 122. The surcharge was initially set at 10% ad valorem on all imports, and subsequently increased to 15%, the statutory maximum, with certain exceptions for specified commodities (e.g., electronics and critical minerals) and United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement qualified products. The surcharge took effect on February 24, 2026, for a maximum period of 150 days and expired on July 24, 2026. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that the Section 122 proclamation was invalid on the basis that it did not satisfy the statutory requirements of the Trade Act of 1974. The government appealed the ruling, and the Federal Circuit issued a temporary stay pending appeal. As of the date of this filing, the appeal remains pending. On July 23, 2026, following an investigation initiated on June 2, 2026 under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301”), the Administration announced new tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners. These tariffs apply to many of the countries from whom we source materials and can include some products material to our business. The evolving legal status, and expiration of the Section 122 surcharge creates additional uncertainty regarding our tariff exposure and any potential recovery of Section 122 duties paid to date. The ultimate impact of these newly enacted and potential future tariffs or other restrictions on international trade will depend on various factors, including the ultimate level of tariffs, the duration such tariffs remain in place, and how other countries respond to U.S. tariffs. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the United States or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Section 122 surcharge is not replaced, we may benefit from reduced tariff costs on imported components; however, any replacement tariffs imposed under alternative statutory authorities, such as Section 301 or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 or Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, could result in tariff rates that are equal to or higher than the former Section 122 surcharge and could remain in effect for significantly longer periods.

We have moved a significant portion of our manufacturing to the United States, while retaining limited contract manufacturing in China and India. However, certain components necessary for our products are still required to be imported from outside the United States. For example, LFP battery cells used in our storage products are still supplied solely by two vendors in China. Although we are in the process of searching for other vendors outside of China for future supplies, the expertise and industry for the LFP battery cell is primarily in China, and it will require significant effort to identify alternative, qualified suppliers with the right expertise to develop our battery cells. The resulting environment of retaliatory trade or other practices or additional trade restrictions or barriers, if implemented on a range of products or components that we source from outside the United States, could harm our ability to obtain necessary product components or to sell our products at prices customers are willing to pay, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and cash flows.

Trade disputes, trade restrictions, tariffs and other geopolitical tensions between the United States and other countries may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns, which may also negatively impact customer demand for our products or services, delay purchases or renewals, limit expansion opportunities with customers, limit our access to capital, or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations. Ongoing tariffs, trade restrictions and macroeconomic uncertainty have contributed, and may continue to contribute to volatility in the price of our common stock.
