SunPower, a once high-flying pioneer of the solar energy industry, plans to slash hundreds of Bay Area jobs.

SAN JOSE — SunPower, a once high-flying pioneer of the solar energy industry, has notified state government officials of the company’s decision to slash hundreds of Bay Area jobs.

“As a result of recent financial circumstances, the Company expects it will have to terminate the employment of certain employees,” SunPower vice president of human resources Maribelle Bostic wrote in a letter the company sent to the state EDD. SunPower is also cutting 61 jobs in the Southern California cities of Anaheim, North Hollywood, Ontario and Santee and 16 positions in the Sacramento County city of Elk Grove, according to the filings with the state.

“SunPower is working as hard as possible to pursue a long-term solution for the company in the coming weeks,” the company stated in the WARN letter.
