 of solar systems could become less economically feasible and could reduce our gross margins or
reduce the demand of solar systems manufactured and sold, which in turn may decrease demand for our products. Additionally,
existing or future tariffs may negatively affect key customers, suppliers, and manufacturing partners. Such outcomes could adversely affect
the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows, and continuing uncertainty could cause sales volatility, price
fluctuations or supply shortages or cause our customers to advance or delay their purchase of our products. It is difficult to predict
what further trade-related actions governments may take, which may include additional or increased tariffs and trade restrictions, and
we may be unable to quickly and effectively react to such actions.

We are subject to
various governmental export controls, trade and economic sanctions, and import laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete
in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.

Our products and technologies
are subject to export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations administered by the U.S. Department
of Commerce, and our products, technologies, and activities are subject to trade and economic sanctions, including those administered

countries and end users and for certain end uses. For example, the U.S. government continues to add additional entities in China and elsewhere
to restricted party lists impacting the ability of U.S. companies to provide products, technology, and services to, and in some cases
receive products, technologies, and services from, these entities. These controls may impact our ability to import certain products, technology,
or services from or export or re-export certain products, technology, or services to China and other destinations, and it is also possible
that the Chinese government will retaliate in ways that could impact our business. The process for obtaining necessary licenses and making
required notices may be time-consuming or unsuccessful, potentially causing delays in sales or losses of sales opportunities. Trade controls
are complex and dynamic regimes and monitoring and ensuring compliance can be challenging. Any failure to comply with these regimes could
subject us to both civil
