Risk Change Over Time
- Capital Markets - Risk 1Changes 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, 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. 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 has appealed the ruling, and the Federal Circuit issued a temporary stay pending appeal. With the expiration of the Section 122 tariffs, on July 23, 2026, the Administration announced new tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on 60 trading partners as part of an investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 ("Section 301") that began on June 2, 2026. The tariffs apply to many of the countries from who we source materials and can include some products material to our business. The evolving legal status, and expiration of the Section 122 tariffs creates additional uncertainty regarding our tariff exposure and any potential recovery of Section 122 duties paid during the quarter. 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 to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Section 122 tariffs are ultimately invalidated and 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 current 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 tariff, trade restrictions and macroeconomic uncertainty has and may continue to contribute to volatility in the price of our common stock.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 53
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions and/or their early termination may affect the value of our common stock.
In connection with the offering of the Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions pursuant to which we have the option to purchase approximately the same number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026, at a price approximately the same as the initial conversion price of the Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026. These transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026. Separately, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions to acquire the same number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026 (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) at an initial strike price of approximately $370.33 and $397.91 per share for Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026, respectively. If the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the warrants, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrants will have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of existing stockholders and on our earnings per share, unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time of settlement. In addition, the existence of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions may encourage purchasing and selling share of our common stock, or other of our securities and instruments, in open market and/or privately negotiated transactions in order to modify hedge positions. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our common stock and the value of the Notes due 2028 and Notes due 2026.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These provisions could also make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. These provisions include: - providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;- not providing for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;- authorizing our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock rights senior to those of common stock, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror;- prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;- requiring the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock, voting as a single class, to amend provisions of our certificate of incorporation relating to the management of our business, our board of directors, stockholder action by written consent, advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals, forum selection and the liability of our directors, or to amend our bylaws, which may inhibit the ability of stockholders or an acquiror to effect such amendments to facilitate changes in management or an unsolicited takeover attempt;- requiring special meetings of stockholders may only be called by our chairman of the board, if any, our chief executive officer, our president or a majority of our board of directors, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; and - requiring advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. In addition, the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, from engaging in certain business combinations, without approval of substantially all of our stockholders, for a certain period of time. These provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future and result in the market price being lower than it would be without these provisions.
