Solar technology provider SunPower Corp. has appointed Tony Garzolini as executive vice president and chief revenue officer, the company announced in a March 14 press release.

In his role, Garzolini will oversee sales, including the direct, dealer and new homes channels, along with pricing and demand generation.

Garzolini, who has returned to SunPower, brings in more than 20 years of experience in home energy. Most recently he served as senior vice president of residential product sales for Generac Power Systems, the release stated.

Prior to that, he held various leadership positions at SunPower for more than 13 years, including vice president of residential sales. Garzolini also directed the company’s sales strategy as it evolved from a module-maker to offering complete solar and storage systems and financial products.

"With Tony's deep expertise in residential renewable energy and exceptional track record working with our valued network of independent solar dealers, we believe his leadership will help put SunPower in a strong position to nurture the dealer network and expand its reach," said Tom Werner, executive chairman of SunPower’s board.
