Court Approves Complete Solar Purchase of SunPower Assets
Complete Solar Holdings says the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has approved the sale of substantially all assets of the Blue Raven, New Homes and Dealer businesses of SunPower Corp. and certain of its affiliates to Complete Solar for $45 million in cash.
The sale is expected to close on or before Sept. 30, at which time SunPower businesses, the SunPower brand and its employees will become part of Complete Solar.
“This is a pivotal moment in the history of SunPower, one of the most storied U.S. solar companies,” says T.J. Rodgers, Complete Solar CEO.
“The dark cloud currently hanging over the U.S. solar industry will not bring SunPower’s demise. And when that cloud recedes – as it must, since only 3.7% of American homes have solar power in an age when solar energy has literally become cheaper than fossil fuel energy – the New SunPower will re-emerge as a lean and competitive American-owned company with a national footprint.”
