Actionable Insight

The strong Q1 beat and raised full-year guidance signal accelerating demand in utility solar and battery storage. Monitor Q2 revenue against the $150M-$170M guidance range and watch for margin recovery as tariff headwinds and facility consolidation costs ease. The record backlog provides multi-quarter visibility.

Key Facts

  • Q1 2026 revenue $140.6M, +74.9% YoY vs $80.4M, beating $129.2M consensus
  • Adjusted diluted EPS $0.07 vs $0.03 YoY; GAAP net loss $0.3M ($0.00/share)
  • Full-year 2026 revenue guidance raised to $600M-$640M (prior undisclosed); Q2 guidance $150M-$170M
  • Record backlog and awarded orders of $758.0M, +17.5% YoY
  • Adjusted EBITDA $21.1M vs $13.5M YoY; gross margin 29.2% (down from 35.0% due to tariffs and facility costs)
  • Operating cash flow -$41.4M in Q1 (vs +$15.6M YoY) due to inventory build and litigation settlement accrual

Financial Impact

Revenue beat consensus by $11.4M (+8.8%); adjusted EPS $0.07 vs consensus $0.06; full-year guidance midpoint $620M implies ~55% YoY growth from 2025 revenue of ~$400M
