Renewable energy is all the rage these days (thank goodness). For SunPower, that translates into a financial boost.
Wells Fargo, parent company of Charlotte-based Wachovia Corp., will finance the solar power systems that SunPower will design, build, operate and maintain.Customers hosting the systems will buy the electricity from SunPower.
