FTC Solar wins new U.S. tracker order and advances 600-MW Puerto Rico solar portfolio
The clean energy transition is an initiative that most countries around the world are participating in, which means there are endless opportunities for companies to capitalize on and be involved in huge projects. While companies and nations have previously been competitive when it comes to who can execute the most captivating projects, nowadays countries are aware that they are all aiming for the same objective, which is reaching clean energy objectives, meaning there is no need to promote competition. Ultimately, this is a huge benefit for energy companies because it means they have a wide-open pathway to pursuing projects in countries where they are not headquartered. One of the most active companies in 2026 is FTC Solar, and it recently won a new U.S. tracker order and advanced its 600-MW Puerto Rico solar portfolio.
Assessing the massive contributions that FTC Solar has made to the solar landscape
Companies that maintain longevity in the energy sector understand the importance of capitalizing on certain moments with the understanding that they will not last forever, considering the rapid pace at which the energy sector evolves. One of the busiest companies in 2026 is FTC Solar.
FTC Solar is one of the leading solar energy companies that was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. It is a global provider of utility-scale single-axis solar tracker systems, software, and engineering services designed to optimize solar panel orientation and maximize energy generation.
From the get-go, the company revealed that, from its analysis, it delivered a strong quarter with revenue up 25% sequentially and margins ahead of its targets.

Every project that FTC Solar is involved in becomes more and more impressive, which is a reflection of the company’s dedication to growing and dominating the solar landscape. A recent press release from FTC Solar revealed the financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
From the get-go, the company revealed that, from its analysis, it delivered a strong quarter with revenue up 25% sequentially and margins ahead of its targets. One of the reasons why it has been able to reach its targets ahead of schedule is because the Department of Energy has fostered an environment where companies can execute projects quickly without the restrictions that previously caused unexpected delays.
Because FTC Solar has been growing from strength to strength over the years, it believes that it can continue on that note in the fourth quarter with a path to EBITDA profitability in the first quarter of next year. This expected growth is warranted considering that the company received significant new awards and growing momentum across North America, India, Australia, and Europe, and with AI and robotics enhancing its current and future productivity.
FTC Solar shows that it is way ahead of other solar energy companies
Since FTC Solar is willing to embrace technology, it has been able to stay ahead of the rest of the field as they are all competing to become pioneers in the solar sector. One of the standout achievements that the company has been involved in is working with Linxon and private equity firm Energy Transition Capital to advance a portfolio of solar projects across multiple locations in Puerto Rico. The company is currently involved in the provision of engineering, design, and qualification support for this 600-megawatt portfolio.
Looking ahead: Where is the solar energy industry headed in 2027?
As FTC Solar continues to establish its presence in a variety of countries and regions, it is set to become undeniable as a pioneer in solar projects. The company was also able to attain independent validation from DNV that its tracker installs at an industry-leading 81 labor hours per megawatt, confirming what customers are telling it: speed in the field is a winning advantage.
One of the reasons why FTC Solar has had a strong impact within a short period of time is because it was established in the contemporary era, meaning it was not forced to adapt to contemporary energy generation approaches.
