1. Description of business

FTC Solar, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) was founded in 2017 and is incorporated in the state of Delaware. In April 2021, we completed an initial public offering ("IPO"), and our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “FTCI”.

We are a global provider of solar tracker systems, supported by proprietary software and value-added engineering services. Solar tracker systems move solar panels throughout the day to maintain an optimal orientation relative to the sun, thereby increasing the amount of solar energy produced at a solar installation. Our original two-panel in-portrait solar tracker system is currently marketed under the Voyager brand name (“Voyager”) and our one module-in-portrait ("1P") solar tracker system, which became certified in 2023, is marketed under the Pioneer brand name ("Pioneer"). We also have a mounting solution to support the installation and use of U.S.-manufactured thin-film modules by project owners. Our primary software offerings include SUNPATH which is intended to help customers optimize solar tracking for increased energy production, our SUNOPS real-time operations management platform and our web-based ATLAS portfolio management software. In addition, we have a team of renewable energy professionals available to assist our U.S. and worldwide clients in site layout, structural design, pile testing and other needs across the solar project development and construction cycle. The Company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and has international subsidiaries in Australia, China, India, South Africa and Spain.

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. Under the JOBS Act, we elected to use the allowed extended transition period to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
