FTC Solar’s 1P Pioneer™ - Built for Constructability

The Benchmark for Easy, Fast and Safe Builds

FTC Solar’s 1P Pioneer is the most easily constructed tracker in the market. Our constructability team helps train your newest crews and make them more productive than your current highest performers.

With Pioneer, you can achieve 0.053 labor-hours per module from pile to module.

Whether block installation or straight-through, FTC Solar’s constructability team will help plan the method that best fits your staffing and sequencing.

Every feature is designed to be Fast, Easy, and Safe.

we deliver engineering excellence and technical leadership

  • Installations worldwide

    The FTC Solar team has more than 5 GW of trackers delivered around the world including in the US, Europe, Africa, SE Asia, and Oceania.

  • North American Projects

    As of 2024 we have supplied dozens of utility-scale arrays in various locations, including North Carolina and South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Utah, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, Nevada, Texas and California. Last year FTC Solar delivered trackers to solar plants in Oregon, Louisiana, and California.

  • Proven experience

    The FTC Solar team represents decades of experience in the solar industry including engineering, project development, silicon fabrication and manufacturing of racking and tracker components. Team members have worked for many different companies deploying utility-scale projects around the world.

  • Production

    Through contract manufacturing relationships with Tier 1 suppliers around the world certified to manufacture our tracker products, FTC Solar has a streamlined supply chain to meet strict project timelines and Domestic Manufacturing Support needs.

Proven Results

At FTC Solar, constructability isn’t a claim, it’s a measurable result. We track efficiency using labor hours per module (from pile to mounted module).

  • FTC Solar crews consistently achieve 0.053 labor hours per module and, with optimized sequencing, it drops below 0.05.
  • That’s at least 20% faster than anything we’ve seen in the market, including both single-row and assembly-line processes.
  • Pioneer is also easier to train on, enabling new crews to ramp to peak efficiency faster.
  • Our constructability team has proven they can take a C or D level crew and make them faster than an Installer’s A-team

Dig Less, Build More with 1P Pioneer​

1P Pioneer solar tracker requires only 11 piles per row and shallower embedment's leading to less steel usage, and reduced pile refusals and rework by over 10% compared to other solutions.​
