Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2005, SunPower Corporation (“SunPower”) entered into a Photovoltaic Module Master Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with PowerLight Corporation, PowerLight Systems, AG, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates (“PowerLight”). The Agreement provides the general terms and conditions pursuant to which SunPower will deliver a total of $330 million worth of solar panels over a period of four years. SunPower’s solar panels will be incorporated into PowerLight’s solar power systems for commercial, government and new home residential customers worldwide. To date, shipments and revenues under the Agreement have been immaterial to SunPower. Volume deliveries under the contract began in this first quarter of 2006 and will ramp up with SunPower’s planned capacity expansion. A copy of the Agreement, with certain portions redacted in order to preserve the confidentiality of certain terms which are the subject of a confidential treatment request submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), is attached to SunPower’s annual report on Form 10-K, which will be filed with the SEC via EDGAR later today.
