• Solar Power World: Realistic market outlook emerges after ‘pep rally’ start to RE+

Best, Yann

RE+ Comes To Close. Now the work begins. I appreciate seeing many of you at the show throughout the week, it’s always nice to see old friends and make new ones. Of course, I am thankful to the support that you are showing to help make FTC Solar a success, building on the constructability of the 1P tracker that we launched last week and showcasing at the show as well as our demo center in Austin. I know that there are challenges for the market, both in policy and in the labor force. Many of you shared your policy ideas and I will consolidate those for you in the coming days and of course if you are looking for a tracker solution that helps shave significant time from the construction schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out.
