Product revenue is generated from commercial sales of flexible PV modules and PV integrated consumer electronics, non-PV integrated power banks and associated accessories. Products are sold through the Company's own e-commerce website, online retailers, direct to retailers and indirectly to retailers through distributors. Revenue is recognized as products are shipped or delivered and title has transferred to the customer. In certain instances, the Company has agreed to refund a portion of the purchase price to customers if the Company decreases its standard retail price. The Company estimates the effect of this price protection and records the difference as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. We also, in certain instances have provided customers with a right of return provision. In these instances, we defer the recognition of revenues until the provision period has expired. Estimated costs of returns and allowances, other than those specifically pertaining to a right of return provision, and discounts are accrued as a reduction to sales when revenue is recognized.</font></div></div> | |
