Nextracker CEO Dan Shugar recently appeared on the Factor This! podcast, where he discussed his journey from an engineer in the solar group at Pacific Gas & Electric in the late 80’s, to leading PowerLight to a $335 million acquisition by SunPower, to acting as the CEO of module manufacturer Solaria before spinning off the company’s tracker technology to create Nextracker. c

Shugar also appeared on Factor This! last year, where he discussed Nextracker’s decision to invest heavily in U.S. manufacturing amid supply chain constraints and trade disputes facing the solar industry.
