Quick Glance: Major Workforce Reduction at California Solar Company
- SunPower Corporation is planning to reduce more than a quarter of its workforce to address a prolonged downturn in rooftop solar energy.
- The closure of residential solar installation sites and the discontinuation of the direct sales unit are part of a shift to a low fixed-cost model, as mentioned by SunPower's CEO Tom Werner in an employee memo on the company's website.
- The announcement comes a day after SunPower stated the need to reassess financial results spanning nearly two years, adding to a series of challenging developments for the pioneering solar industry leader.
- The rooftop solar energy industry is facing difficulties due to high interest rates increasing the cost of solar panel installations, and California, the largest solar market, has reduced payments to households and businesses selling excess solar energy back to the grid, significantly impacting the industry.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.
- Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.
- ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

Peninsula gas station charges $7.09 per gallon for regular: A gas station on the Peninsula is giving drivers some extreme sticker shock.
nbcbayarea.com/news/local/peninsula/menlo-park-gas-station-prices/3519417/
Quick Glance: Menlo Park Gas Station Charges $7.09 Per Gallon for Regular
- A gas station on the Peninsula is causing extreme price shocks for drivers. The Chevron station in Menlo Park is charging $7.09 per gallon for regular, $7.45 for plus, and $7.69 for supreme. This is at least a dollar higher than neighboring stations and well above the California average of $5.42.
- According to AAA, gas stations set their own prices, and it depends on when they purchase their gas. If they buy their gas wholesale when oil prices are high, they need to sell it at that price to make a profit.
- AAA Northern California spokesperson John Treanor mentioned that gas prices have been elevated recently due to increased demand in spring, higher costs of the summer blend, and rising crude oil prices influenced by Middle East turmoil.
- AAA states that gas prices are expected to stabilize at this point.
