A little sunlight is a powerful thing. For a solar energy startup, SunPower doesn't seem to be a big believer in it. Deep in an SEC filing on employee compensation, San Jose-based SunPower buried the news that its COO PM Pai left the company. Forbes figures the departure has little to do with Pai or the company's performance. One source close to the company told Forbes Pai left simply because he refused leave the Philippines to move to San Jose. We know people who live in San Francisco who feel that way.
