Tell us what you think of the show!
How do you measure the impact of someone like Dan Shugar?
He's been a mainstay in the solar industry since the early days. Before the solar coaster defined the twists and turns of the evolving industry.
He led PowerLight to a $335 million dollar acquisition. Helped grow SunPower into the behemoth it is today. And was the CEO of solar module manufacturer Solaria, before co-founding Nextracker, one of the world's leading tracker manufacturers.
Dan Shugar is solar. Undeniably the face, and voice, driving the industry to heights unthinkable when he started out nearly 30 years ago.
In Episode 41 of the Factor This! podcast, Dan Shugar returns fresh off Nextracker's $638 million IPO that is, so far, this year's biggest. Not just for a clean tech company— for any company.
What's left for the industry leader affectionately known by so many as Shug?
That's all next on Factor This!
