RISK FACTORS (Cont'd)
We expect to have one main source of financing for the Sustainable Community Networks in 2023 and 2024. If there is a breach of that financing arrangement, it could have an adverse effect on our liquidity
and our revenue and results of operations may not meet our projections.
A significant portion of our purchased components are sourced in a small number of foreign countries, exposing us to additional risks that might not exist if our suppliers were more geographically
diversified or were located in the United States.
Our business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions.
Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for inverters and lithium iron phosphate cells, could harm our business.
Our hardware and software integrated energy storage solution may not achieve broad market acceptance, which would prevent us from increasing our revenue and market share.
If demand for energy storage solutions does not grow or grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, including as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our business will suffer.
We depend on a small number of wholesale dealers and installers to assist in selling our products to customers. As our business grows, we will be required to find a significant number of additional dealers
and installers. Loss of dealers or installers, the failure of dealers or installers to perform as expected or the inability to find additional dealers and installers could harm our business and impair our ability to
meet our projections.
The success of our energy storage system may depend in part upon our ability to continue to work closely with leading solar module manufacturers.
Our success and future growth is dependent upon the market's willingness to adopt energy storage systems in general, and our energy storage system in particular.
If we fail to scale our business operations and otherwise manage future growth and adapt to new conditions effectively as we grow our company, we may not be able to produce, market, sell and service our
systems successfully.
A drop in the retail price of electricity derived from the utility grid or from alternative energy sources may reduce demand for our products and impact our ability to meet our projections for growth, revenue
and results of operations.
The failure of energy storage costs to continue to decline would have a negative impact on our business and financial condition and significant inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results.
The reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies and economic incentives for on-grid solar electricity applications and/or energy storage systems could reduce demand for solar photovoltaic
systems and/or energy storage systems and harm our business.
▸ Market conditions, economic uncertainty, an economic downturn or a recession could reduce demand for our products and materially harm our business.
► We may, in the future, experience delays or other complications in the design, manufacture, launch and production ramp of our energy storage products which could harm our business, prospects, reputation,
financial condition and operating results. Our planned expansion of our business could also subject us to additional business, financial and competitive risks.
We may experience material disruptions to our operations, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other catastrophic events.
