Be Thankful. It’s that time of the year again, time to buy that Christmas tree and get out the decorations. Fun fact, I put up the lights on my house a few weeks ago because if this year has taught me anything is that we need to just focus on what brings us joy when everything sometimes feels like its falling apart. This year has had its ups and downs for sure, tariffs, OBBB, permitting, State battles all made us look in the mirror and wonder what happened to the power of solar that we’re actually scaring people with our scale. It has also been an amazing year for me leading FTC Solar, launching this amazing product and my first year and first time running a public company. We’re always ready to take on challenges and learn new things. So thank you for all of you that read the newsletter and support me with the dialogue on all things solar and of course as you support my professional endeavors as well. Enjoy this time with you friends and family and we’ll see each other on Monday.
