SolarMax Technology, Inc. announced its fiscal year 2025 financial results, highlighting a nearly 300% increase in revenue to $91 million, significant gross profit improvement, and a reduced net loss of $6.3 million.

  • Three key BESS contracts in Texas and Puerto Rico represent over $500 million in expected future revenue.
  • SolarMax expanded US operations into industrial EPC services in Q3 2025, indicating strategic growth initiatives in the renewable energy sector.
