SunPower has extended the terms and reduced the value of its existing credit support agreement with French energy giant Total through to 2018. 

Total will continue to guarantee SunPower's letters of credit in support of certain company activities. The initial agreement signed in 2011 involved a US$1 billion credit support agreement with Total for SunPower to accelerate its project pipeline rollout, add manufacturing capacity, and further its R&D activities.
