Yann Brandt is President and CEO of FTC Solar (Nasdaq: FTCI), a leading provider of utility-scale solar tracker systems and software. In his role, Yann works directly with the developers, EPCs, and asset owners responsible for moving the industry’s most complex projects from backlog to energization — helping teams navigate procurement strategy, construction sequencing, and the technology decisions that separate projects that get built from those that don’t.
With more than a decade of experience spanning solar development, manufacturing, and project delivery, Yann brings a practitioner’s perspective to the challenges facing utility-scale solar today — from interconnection backlogs and supply chain constraints to the accelerating integration of solar-plus-storage.
Yann is also the author of Solarwakeup, one of the solar industry’s most widely read daily newsletters, where he has tracked the trends, transactions, and voices shaping the clean energy transition for years.
