Welcome to Episode 63 of SunCast!

I hope you enjoyed the last week's episode with Oleg pushing the envelope on commercial finance.

Today's episode is going to plumb the depths of the entrepreneurial journey with a CEO of a US-based solar module manufacturer who's had his share of failure and success, and most certainly understands how to cross the chasm.

I had the incredible pleasure of sitting down with Suvi Sharma, CEO of Solaria Corporation.

Suvi joined Solaria in 2003 and recruited a world-class management team, developed partnerships with industry-leading solar companies and raised close to $200 million from strategic financial investors.

Tune in Today as we Discuss:

• Solaria's Newest Innovation: Architectural PV Glass
• How Suvi gave his job to Dan Shugar, then took it back after they spun Nextracker out of Solaria.
