Former President Solaria, SunPower, and Powerlight Solar.  What’s it like to start a clean energy company? What are the critical success factors in building a startup into a successful business? What does the future look like for residential and industrial solar power?

We will spotlight one of the few clean tech entrepreneurs to have done it successfully - and multiple times! Dan Shugar will walk us through the history of NEXTracker, describe how he built teams that could execute with passion and explain the obstacles and opportunities that he and his team encountered along the way to a leading global market share, followed by a successful acquisition by Flextronics. Dan will also draw upon his career in the solar industry to give us his insights on the future of solar power, discussing both technology advances and market developments.
