OREM, Utah, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cobalt Power Systems ("Cobalt"), located in Mountain View CA and a wholly owned subsidiary of SunPower Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:SPWR), in partnership with Wunder Power, today announced the completion of the Waterfront Plaza solar installation, which will deliver ~349,000 kWh of clean electricity annually. This project is a significant commercial milestone for Cobalt as it expands its portfolio of complex commercial solar projects throughout California.

Located across from Pier 33 on San Francisco's iconic waterfront, the Waterfront Plaza project highlights Cobalt's ability to deliver sophisticated commercial solar solutions in dense urban areas where engineering precision, safety, and regulatory compliance are paramount.

Cobalt President, John Paul Bergh, said, "As building owners need more sophisticated engineering solutions to reduce operating costs and meet sustainability objectives, projects like Waterfront Plaza demonstrate what is possible – and showcase the technical expertise and execution capabilities that have defined Cobalt Power Systems for more than two decades. Working alongside Wunder Power, we have successfully delivered a highly engineered solution on one of San Francisco's challenging commercial rooftops."

The Waterfront Plaza 220.9 kW DC solar project utilized 554 high-efficiency solar photovoltaic modules and required extensive coordination and innovative engineering due to its special post-tension concrete roof structure. Installation teams had to deploy custom-engineered anchor points, utilizing multiple attachment methodologies, to safely navigate dense post-tension cable layouts beneath the roof membrane. More than 3,000 ballast blocks were strategically distributed across the roof to meet structural loading requirements and provide seismic stability.

Wunder Chief Operating Officer, Kaylee Mulligan, said, "It's been a pleasure partnering with the Cobalt team on the Waterfront Plaza project. Their attention to detail and commitment to operational excellence made this a seamless collaboration from start to finish. We're proud to work with high-quality partners like Cobalt to help commercial real estate owners deploy renewable energy across their portfolios to unlock additional long-term value."

The Waterfront Plaza installation further strengthens the strategic relationship between Cobalt Power Systems and Wunder Power as both organizations continue expanding their partnership across California and the United States.

SunPower CEO, T.J. Rodgers, said, "This project gives investors a peek at our engineering future as enhanced by the acquisition of Silicon Valley-based Cobalt. The panels shown below are clearly not mounted on ordinary residential mounts. These footings make the system earthquake resilient, and the mount raises all of the panels above the roof, creating a light pathway to the back of the panels that we will use in the future with our second-generation ‘Monolith II' panels, which will absorb light through glass on both sides of the panel, providing more power per panel."
