We broke the story yesterday about layoffs at SunPower, and reported that the company’s chief marketing officer, Brad Davis, was one of the casualties. But the company got back to us later to say that wasn’t true. We apologize for the mistake.

While SunPower wouldn’t confirm names of those who have been let go, its director of communications, Stephen Wright, pointed out in an email that all the executives listed on the company’s Website are still gainfully employed. That means Davis is still with the company.

SunPower, like many other solar companies, are cutting staff and costs to weather the economic downturn. The San Jose, Calif.-based company said yesterday it had let go about 60 out of 1,000 employees in the non-manufacturing operations. Or about 60 out of its global workforce of more than 5,000, Wright said.

The company has seen changes in its executive management. Daniel Shugar, president of SunPower’s installation business, announced last October that he would take a personal leave of absence for nine to 12 months starting in March this year, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company has a new chief financial officer, Dennis Arriola, who joined the company last November. It also announced last December the hiring of Jorg Heinemann as its chief information officer.
