FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical or current facts contained in this Quarterly Report may be forward-looking statements. Statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, liquidity, growth and profitability strategies and factors and trends affecting our business are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified in some cases by the use of words such as “believe,” “can,” “could,” “potential,” “plan,” “predict,” “goals,” “seek,” “should,” “may,” “may have,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” the negative of these words, other similar expressions or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth under Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report, and more comprehensively in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report"). Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Description of business

FTC Solar, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) was founded in 2017 and is incorporated in the state of Delaware. In April 2021, we completed an initial public offering ("IPO"), and our common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol “FTCI”.

We are a global provider of solar tracker systems, supported by proprietary software and value-added engineering services. Solar tracker systems move solar panels throughout the day to maintain an optimal orientation relative to the sun, thereby increasing the amount of solar energy produced at a solar installation. Our original two modules-in-portrait ("2P") solar tracker system is marketed under the Voyager brand name (“Voyager”) and our one module-in-portrait ("1P") solar tracker system is marketed under the Pioneer brand name ("Pioneer"). We also have a mounting solution to support the installation and use of U.S.-manufactured thin-film modules. Our primary software offerings include SUNPATH, which helps customers optimize solar tracking for increased energy production, and our SUNOPS real-time operations management platform. In addition, we have a team of renewable energy professionals available to assist our U.S. and worldwide clients in site layout, structural design, pile testing and other needs across the solar project development and construction cycle. Our products and services provide tracker solutions for large utility-scale solar and distributed generation projects around the world. Our customers are primarily engineering, procurement and construction companies ("EPCs") and we also contract with developers and owners. The Company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and has international subsidiaries in Australia, China, India, South Africa and Spain.

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. Under the JOBS Act, we elected to use the allowed extended transition period to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared based on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As discussed further in "Liquidity and Going Concern" below, given the Company's current cash balances and recurring losses from operations, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern during the next year.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been made that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to our annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We currently operate in one business segment, the manufacturing and servicing of solar tracker systems. See Note 18, "Segment information" below for further discussion.

Liquidity and Going Concern

We have incurred cumulative losses since inception and have a history of cash outflows from operations, inclusive of $8.5 million in cash utilized in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we had $5.9 million of cash on hand and $20.2 million of working capital.

As of March 31, 2025, in addition to our cash on hand and working capital, we had approximately $64.9 million of remaining capacity available for future sales of our common stock under our ATM program as defined and described further in Note 14, "ATM Program" below. Our ability to use the ATM program may be constrained by the size of our non-affiliate market capitalization, our trading volume and other factors, and there can be no assurance regarding the price at which we will be able to sell such shares, and any sales of our common stock under the ATM program may be at prices that result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.

Based on our cash position at March 31, 2025 and our recent operating losses, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern within the next year.

At March 31, 2025, we had a contractual obligation that could require us to make additional capital contributions of up to $0.8 million to Alpha Steel, as well as make a minimum level of purchases from Alpha Steel, as described further in Note 9, "Equity method investment" below. In the event we were to fail to meet our minimum required purchase commitments during a specified period, including the current period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, we may be required to make a cash payment for the net profit attributable to any unfilled requirements, calculated as specified in the agreement, in an amount not to exceed $4.0 million in the aggregate.

In order to conserve our existing cash, we have elected, pursuant to the Senior Notes, for interest payable under the Senior Notes to be added to the principal amount on the applicable interest payment dates of the last day of June and December of each year, and we anticipate that we will make similar elections in the future. However, we could elect to make such interest payments in cash instead depending on changes in our future financial position. The obligations under the Senior Notes are secured by a lien on our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.

Our ability to meet our liquidity needs over the next year is dependent upon (i) our cash on hand (subject to a quarter-end minimum balance covenant of $5 million under the terms of our Senior Notes offering), (ii) our expectations of increased project activity and cash flow during the twelve-month period following issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, (iii) expected proceeds of up to $10 million from an additional private placement of debt based on a term sheet executed on March 4, 2025, as described further below, and (iv) utilization, as appropriate, of the capacity available for future sales of our common stock under the ATM program, which may be constrained by the size of our non-affiliate market capitalization, our trading volume and other factors. In addition, we continue to remain focused on implementing additional cost savings steps, which could impact, among other things, location of our headcount and the level of services currently provided by third parties, and we continue to evaluate further opportunities to obtain additional financing, although the ability to ultimately obtain such additional financing is not entirely within our control.

Use of estimates

Preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported revenue and expenses during the period. Estimates are used for calculating the measure of progress of our solar tracker projects and deriving the standalone selling prices of the individual performance obligations when determining amounts to recognize for revenue, estimating allowances for credit losses and slow-moving and obsolete inventory, determining useful lives of long-lived assets and the estimated fair value of those assets for impairment assessments, and estimating the fair value of investments, warrants, stock compensation awards, warranty liabilities and federal and state taxes, including tax valuation allowances, as well as other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and accounts receivable.

We regularly maintain cash balances with various financial institutions that exceed federally insured amounts, but we have experienced no losses associated with these amounts to date. We periodically evaluate the financial health of the financial institutions we use and may take action in future periods, similar to past actions, to reallocate cash balances between financial institutions based on our evaluation.

We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business, often without requiring collateral. We also perform credit analyses and monitor the financial health of our customers to reduce credit risk.

The Company’s accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States and Australia. For the periods included in this Quarterly Report, no company locations other than those in the United States and Australia accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. Most of our customers are project developers, solar asset owners and engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contractors that design and build solar energy projects. We typically rely on a small number of customers that account for a large portion of our revenue each period and our outstanding receivables at each period end.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Certain of our cash equivalents include deposits in money market funds that invest primarily in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities and contain no restrictions on immediate redemption. These deposits totaled $0.5 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Interest earned on cash equivalents is included in interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Accounts receivable, net

Trade receivables are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of allowances for credit losses, and do not bear interest. We generally do not require collateral from our customers; however, in certain circumstances, we may require letters of credit, other collateral, additional guarantees or advance payments.

The allowance for credit losses is based on the lifetime expected credit loss of our customer accounts. To assess the lifetime expected credit loss, we utilize a loss rate method that takes into consideration historical experience and certain other factors, as appropriate, such as credit quality, current economic or other conditions and changes in project status that may affect a customer's ability to pay. Provisions for credit losses are included as a component of our selling and marketing expenses.

Receivables arising from revenue recognized in excess of billings represent our unconditional right to consideration before customers are invoiced due to the level of progress obtained as of period end on our contracts to procure and deliver tracker systems and related equipment. Further information may be found below in our revenue recognition policy.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs computed on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess and obsolete items and adjusts carrying costs to estimated net realizable values when they are determined to be less than cost.

Impairment

We review our long-lived assets that are held for use for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable or that its useful life may be shorter than previously expected. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset, which in most cases is estimated based upon Level 3 unobservable inputs. If the asset is determined to have a remaining useful life shorter than previously expected, an adjustment for the shorter remaining life will be made for purposes of recognizing future depreciation expense. Assets are classified as held for sale when we have a plan, approved by the appropriate levels of management, for disposal of such assets, as well as other considerations, and those assets are stated at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Goodwill

We recognize goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identified assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment at least annually, or whenever events and circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. Our assessments may include qualitative factors such as current or expected industry and market conditions, our overall financial performance, share price trends, market capitalization and other company-specific events.

We operate in one segment, being the consolidated entity, which we have also determined is the reporting unit for goodwill impairment.

No impairment of goodwill was recognized as of March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Equity method investment

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. Our proportionate share of the net income or loss of these investees is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest, legal form of the investee, representation on the board of directors or managers, participation in policy-making decisions and material intra-entity transactions.

We account for distributions received from equity method investees under the “nature of the distribution” approach based on the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash inflows from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as cash inflows from investing activities).

We evaluate equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. Factors considered by the Company when reviewing an equity method investment for impairment include the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of the equity method investment has been less than its cost, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery. An impairment that is other than temporary is recognized in the period identified.

We made an accounting policy election that, upon the sale of our equity method investments, we will recognize contractual contingent gains arising from earnout provisions and project escrow releases when such amounts are realizable in periods subsequent to the disposal date.

Deferred debt discount and issue costs

Legal, consulting, accounting and other fees that are incremental and directly related to issuances of long-term debt, including any discounts on the debt, are capitalized and reflected as a reduction to the principal amount of our outstanding debt. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the interest method.

Warrants

Warrants issued for the purchase of our common stock are evaluated for liability or equity classification and recorded at fair value upon issuance. Fair value may be determined using a Black-Scholes model or other valuation technique depending on the terms of the warrants. Warrants containing clauses that could require settlement in cash or with other assets are reflected as liabilities whereas warrants that may only be settled with the issuance of our common stock are reflected as a component of our equity. Warrants classified as liabilities are adjusted to current fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes reflected in our results of operations. Legal, consulting, accounting and other fees that are incremental and directly related to the issuance of warrants are expensed as incurred for warrants classified as liabilities or shown as a reduction to the value of our warrants as reflected in our equity.

Warranty

Typically, the sale of solar tracker projects includes parts warranties to customers as part of the overall price of the product. We provide standard assurance type warranties for our products for periods generally ranging from five to ten years. We also accrue for costs

relating to remediation efforts involving product issues we believe require correction. We record a provision for estimated warranty and remediation expenses in cost of sales, net of amounts recoverable from manufacturers under their warranty obligations to us. When historical claims information relating to our equipment is not sufficient, we will base our estimates on industry studies involving the nature and frequency of product failure rates for similar parts used by our competitors, as well as other related businesses. We do not maintain general or unspecified reserves; all warranty reserves are related to specific projects. All actual or estimated material costs incurred for warranty or remediation services in subsequent periods are charged to those established reserves.

Stock-based compensation

We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made, including stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for awards with service-based vesting or through use of a lattice model or a Monte Carlo simulation for stock option and RSU awards with market conditions. The fair value of RSUs with service or performance-based vesting is based on the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. We consider the closing price of our stock, as reported on Nasdaq, to be the fair value of our stock on the grant date.

Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. For service-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized using the straight-line attribution approach over the requisite service period. For performance-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized based on graded vesting over the requisite service period when the performance condition is probable of being achieved. Stock compensation expense for market-based awards is recognized over the derived service period determined in the valuation model, inclusive of any vesting conditions.

Revenue recognition

Product revenue is derived from the sale of solar tracker systems and customized components for those systems, individual part sales for certain specific transactions and the sale of term-based software licenses. Term-based licensed software is deployed on the customers’ own servers and has significant standalone functionality.

Service revenue includes revenue from shipping and handling services, engineering consulting and pile testing services, our subscription-based enterprise licensing model and maintenance and support services in connection with the term-based software licenses. Our subscription-based enterprise licensing model typically has contract terms ranging from one to two years and consists of subscription fees from the licensing of subscription services. Our hosted on-demand service arrangements do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the hosted services. Support services include ongoing security updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and maintenance.

We recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services by following a five-step process: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation, as further described below.

Identify the contract with a customer: A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. In assessing the recognition of revenue, we also evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations which could change the amount of revenue and profit (loss) recorded in a period. Change orders may include changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, equipment, materials, scope of work, and/or the period of completion of the project. We analyze change orders to determine if they should be accounted for as a modification to an existing contract or a new stand-alone contract.

Contracts we enter into with our customers for sale of solar tracker systems are generally under two different types of arrangements: (1) purchase agreements and equipment supply contracts (“Purchase Agreements”), and (2) sale of individual parts for those systems.

Change orders from our customers that are deemed to be modifications to existing contracts are included in the total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in additional value that can be reliably estimated and realized.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract: We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are either capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations or as one performance obligation since the majority of tasks and services are part of a single project or capability. However, determining whether products or services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may sometimes require significant judgment.

Our Purchase Agreements typically include two performance obligations: 1) our solar tracker systems or customized components of those systems, and 2) shipping and handling services. The deliverables included as part of our solar tracker systems are predominantly accounted for as one performance obligation, as these deliverables are part of a combined promise to deliver a project.

The revenue for shipping and handling services will be recognized over time based on progress in meeting shipping terms of the arrangements, as this faithfully depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control. Revenue for stand-alone engineering consulting and pile testing services is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the services performed.

Sales of individual parts of our solar tracker systems for certain specific transactions include multiple performance obligations consisting of individual parts of those systems. Revenue is recognized for parts sales at a point in time when the obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is in line with shipping terms.

Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Such amounts are typically stated in the customer contract, and to the extent that we identify variable consideration, we will estimate the variable consideration at the onset of the arrangement as long as it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration provisions as a continuation of the original contract. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract: Once we have determined the transaction price, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in a manner depicting the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring the good(s) or service(s) to the customer. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis.

We use the expected cost-plus margin approach based on hardware, labor, and related overhead cost to estimate the standalone selling price of our solar tracker systems, customized components of those systems, and individual parts for certain specific transactions. We also use the expected cost-plus margin approach based on expected third-party shipping and transportation costs to estimate the standalone selling price of our shipping, handling and logistics performance obligations. We use the adjusted market assessment approach for all other performance obligations.

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation: For each performance obligation identified, we determine at contract inception whether we satisfy the performance obligation over time or at a point in time. The performance obligations in the contracts for our solar tracker systems and customized components of those systems are satisfied over time as work progresses, utilizing an input measure of progress determined by cost-to-cost measures on these projects as this faithfully depicts our performance in transferring control. Additionally, our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use, due to the highly customized nature of the product, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our performance obligations for individual part sales for certain specific transactions are recognized at a point in time as and when control transfers based on the terms for the contract. Our performance obligations for engineering consulting and pile testing services are recognized at a point in time upon completion of the services. Our performance obligations for term-based software licenses are recognized at a point in time as and when control transfers, either upon delivery to the customer or the software license start date, whichever is later. Our performance obligations for shipping and handling services are satisfied over time as the services are delivered over the term of the contract. We recognize revenue for subscription

and other services on a straight-line basis over the contract period. With regard to support revenue, a time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because we transfer control evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to support revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.

Contract assets and liabilities: The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collection results in the recognition of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables for revenue recognized in excess of billings, and deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have elected to use the practical expedient of expensing incremental costs of obtaining a contract for our contracts of less than one year in duration. We may receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities, which are reflected as “deferred revenue” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Customer deposits are short term as the related performance obligations are typically fulfilled within 12 months. Changes in deferred revenue relate to fluctuations in the timing of customer deposits and completion of performance obligations. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from amounts included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2024, totaled $4.1 million. Approximately, $2.4 million of revenue was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from amounts included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2023. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2023 totaled $3.6 million.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs related to raw materials, equipment manufacturing activities, net of incentives earned, freight and delivery, product warranty, remediation and personnel costs (salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation). Personnel costs in cost of revenue include both direct labor costs, as well as costs attributable to any individuals whose activities relate to the procurement, installment and delivery of the finished product and services. Cost of revenue owed but not yet paid is recorded as accrued cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred cost of revenue, a component of our prepaid and other current assets, results from the timing differences between the costs incurred in advance of the satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”)

The IRA was enacted into law on August 16, 2022, and provides for various clean energy credits, including an Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit under Section 45X (“45X Credit”) for eligible parts, including torque tubes and structural fasteners, that we purchase from Alpha Steel. Our agreements with Alpha Steel allow for us to receive benefit of the 45X Credits earned by Alpha Steel in the form of reductions to the purchase price of the products manufactured for us on a per-unit basis. Utilizing guidance in IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, we recognize the benefits of these reductions as they are earned during the manufacturing process and reflect them as related party receivables and a reduction of our cost of revenue.

Recent accounting and regulatory pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose (i) additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes above a quantitative threshold in their rate reconciliation table and (ii) income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods, as well as other disclosure changes. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to adopt ASU 2023-09 prior to 2026, although earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our existing income tax disclosures.

In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. This rule would require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued a stay of the final rules pending a judicial review of the validity of the rules by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. We are currently evaluating the final rule to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-04). ASU 2024-03 requires companies to disclose additional specific information including, among other things, (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, and (d) intangible asset amortization included in each of its expense captions disclosed on the face of its results of operations statement, as well as total selling expenses. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, we are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 for our annual reporting effective December 31, 2027 and in our quarterly reporting beginning in 2028.

Other standards or regulatory requirements that have been issued but not yet adopted as of March 31, 2025, are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have any material impact upon adoption.

9. Equity method investment

We have a 45% interest in Alpha Steel LLC ("Alpha Steel"), which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Alpha Steel, located in Sealy, Texas, is dedicated to producing steel components, including torque tubes, for utility-scale solar projects. Taihua New Energy (Thailand) Co., LTD ("Taihua") has a 51% interest in Alpha Steel and DAYV LLC, an entity owned by members of the Board of Managers of Alpha Steel and a related party with the parent company of Taihua, has a 4% interest in Alpha Steel. The Chief Executive Officer of Taihua is the General Manager of Alpha Steel. We have equal voting representation with Taihua and DAYV LLC, combined, on Alpha Steel's Board of Managers which is responsible, through majority vote, for making certain "major decisions" involving Alpha Steel, as specified in the limited liability company agreement ("LLC Agreement"), including, among other things, approval of an annual business plan. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, we could be required to make up to $0.8 million in future additional capital contributions as Alpha Steel continues to expand production. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which represent our share of the net operating losses incurred by Alpha Steel during each period.

In connection with the creation of Alpha Steel, we also entered into a three-year equipment supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Alpha Steel, the terms of which will apply to our equipment purchase orders. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, we have committed to placing a minimum level of purchase orders for torque tubes with Alpha Steel during the period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, with such volume commitments increasing in each of the next two annual periods. In the event we fail to meet our minimum required purchase commitments in any period, we may be required to make a cash payment for the net profit attributable to any unfilled requirements, calculated as specified in the agreement, in an amount not to exceed $4.0 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2025, we had met approximately 27% of our required purchase commitments for the period ending June 30, 2025. The Supply Agreement may be terminated early in accordance with its provisions or may be extended beyond the initial term if mutually agreed to by the parties.

Balance at end of period	$	11,851		$	10,472

11. Income taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $0.25 million and a benefit of $0.01 million, respectively. These amounts for each period were lower than the statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to a valuation allowance established against the U.S. deferred tax assets.

We have had no material change in our unrecognized tax benefits since December 31, 2024. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

12. Debt


(in thousands)	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Senior notes	$	15,639		$	15,146
Less: discount and deferred loan costs		(5,470	)		(5,680	)
Long-term debt, net	$	10,169		$	9,466

On December 4, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor as the purchaser under the Purchase Agreement (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we sold, and the Investor purchased $15.0 million in principal amount of senior secured promissory notes (the “Senior Notes”) and warrants for 1,750,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) (the “Offering”).

The Senior Notes bear interest to be paid in cash at the rate of 11% per annum; provided however, that the Company may, at its option, following notice to the Investor, instead increase the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes by the amount of such interest at the rate of 13% per annum ("paid-in-kind interest"). Interest is payable semi-annually on the final business day in June and on the final business day in December. We currently are utilizing the paid-in-kind interest option and have recognized cumulative additional paid-in-kind interest of $0.6 million through March 31, 2025, which has been added to the principal amount of our long-term debt. The effective interest rate for the Senior Notes, including amortization of the discount and deferred loan costs, is approximately 18%.

To secure our obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries have granted a security interest over substantially all of their assets to the collateral agent for the benefit of the Investor, pursuant to a security and pledge agreement. At any time prior to December 4, 2026, the Company may redeem all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes, plus pay to the Investor a “make-whole” payment equal to the sum of undiscounted interest payments that would have otherwise been payable through an additional 12 months following the redemption. At any time on or after December 4, 2026, the Company may redeem all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes, plus pay to the Investor a “make-whole” payment equal to

the sum of undiscounted interest payments that would have otherwise been payable through the earlier of (i) the maturity date of the Senior Notes and (ii) an additional three months following the redemption.

In addition to limitations on certain financial activities, including payment of dividends, and other customary covenants, during the period the Senior Notes are outstanding, we will be required to (i) maintain a minimum of $5.0 million of unrestricted cash on the last calendar day of each quarter, (ii) have annual revenue of $100 million for 2025 and $200 million for each subsequent year and (iii) have annual EBITDA, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, of at least $25 million starting in 2026. A breach of these financial covenants, or the other covenants included in the Senior Notes, would constitute an event of default under the Senior Notes, resulting in the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest under the Senior Notes becoming due and payable, and enable the Investor to foreclose on our assets if we are not able to repay the outstanding obligations.

The Purchase Agreement also contains certain standard terms that could result in the Senior Notes becoming immediately due and payable before maturity, including an event of default with respect to the terms, covenants and financial covenants or a material adverse effect involving our business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations and financial condition, or otherwise, or our prospects that could adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

The Warrants issued in the Offering are exercisable for 10 years and allow for the purchase of an aggregate of up to 1,750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. We determined liability classification for the Warrants was required based on terms that could require cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent change in control event. As a result, the Warrants are revalued to current fair value at each period end with the offsetting gain or loss reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Term Sheet

On March 4, 2025, we executed a term sheet (the "Term Sheet") with the Investor in our Offering in which the Investor agreed to purchase up to an additional $10.0 million in principal amount of senior secured promissory notes (the "Notes") and warrants ("Additional Warrants") to purchase up to 1,166,667 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

The Term Sheet provides that the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash (or 13% per annum, payable semi-annually in kind at our option). The Notes will mature on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. Our obligations under the Notes will be secured by a lien on all present and future assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, the Term Sheet provides that the Additional Warrants will have a term of ten years and will be exercisable for shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

The Term Sheet is binding by its terms but is subject to certain conditions to closing, including the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, including the Notes, the Additional Warrants, a securities purchase agreement, registration rights agreement, guaranty and security agreement.

13. Commitments and contingencies

We may become involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations, and other proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We accrue a liability when information available prior to the issuance of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of the probable loss is a range, we record an accrual for the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range if there is no one best estimate. We adjust our accruals to reflect the impact of negotiation, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

In March of 2023, United States Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") issued notices of tariff assessment that indicated an action taken at the Import Specialist (i.e., the port) level with respect to merchandise imported from Thailand under entry number 004-1058562-5 (the “625 Assessment”) and entry number 004-1063793-9 (the “Original 939 Assessment”, and collectively with the 625 Assessment, the “Original CBP Assessments”). The Original CBP Assessments related to certain torque beams that are used in our Voyager+ product that were imported in 2022. In the Original CBP Assessments, CBP asserted that Section 301 China tariffs, Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs, and antidumping and countervailing duties applied to the merchandise. Based on correspondence received to date from CBP and our calculations based on applicable duty and tariff rates, the 625 Assessment is currently for approximately $2.84 million. In September of 2023, CBP informed us that the amount owed under the Original 939 Assessment was being revised downward to approximately $2.01 million (the "Revised 939 Assessment", and together with the 625 Assessment, the "Revised CBP Assessments"). In particular, CBP

accepted our position that the Section 301 tariffs of 25% or 7.5% of the value of the merchandise, depending on tariff classification, as well as the antidumping and countervailing duties, previously assessed under the Original 939 Assessment are not applicable as they are only applicable to articles that originate in China and that, in this case, the finished goods are products of Thailand.

Upon review of the facts involved, and in consultation with outside legal counsel, we believe that the remaining amounts claimed in the Revised CBP Assessments are incorrect. In particular, the Section 301 tariffs of 25% or 7.5% of the value of the merchandise, depending on tariff classification, as well as the antidumping and countervailing duties, are not applicable under the 625 Assessment for the same reason stated above with respect to the Revised 939 Assessment, which has been accepted by CBP. Moreover, with respect to both Revised CBP Assessments, we believe that the goods in question were properly classified as parts of structures at the time of importation and that when properly classified, the beams and other materials are not subject to Section 232 duties applicable to more basic steel products.

CBP has legally finalized both Revised CBP Assessments. We filed a formal protest for the 625 Assessment in September of 2023 and for the Revised 939 Assessment in March of 2024. Based on the above, and under the relevant accounting guidance related to loss contingencies, we have made no accrual for the amounts claimed by CBP as of March 31, 2025, as we do not consider these amounts to be a probable obligation, as such term is defined and interpreted under the relevant accounting guidance, for us at this time. However, because matters of this nature are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or developments, including future assessments of additional duties or tariffs owed in respect of other shipments or other materials beyond what is presently included in the Revised CBP Assessments, could occur despite our belief that the tariffs and duties asserted are incorrect, there can be no certainty that the Company may not ultimately incur charges that are not currently recorded as liabilities. Since the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the costs associated with them could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

14. ATM program

On September 14, 2022, we filed a prospectus supplement and entered into an equity distribution agreement (as amended, the "EDA") under which we may from time to time, in one or more transactions, offer and sell newly issued shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million in "at the money" offerings (the "ATM program"). We have and may continue to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and operating expenses. We may also use a portion of such proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services or technologies.

The offering of our common stock under the EDA will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all common stock subject to the EDA or (2) the termination of the EDA by us or by our sales agent as permitted therein. The EDA contains customary representations, covenants and indemnification provisions.

We sold no shares of newly issued common stock under the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $64.9 million of capacity remained for future sales of our common stock under the ATM program.

We also have related party liabilities to Alpha Steel at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, totaling $3.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the accrued cost of revenue recognized on certain of our customer projects associated with the cost of products that are being manufactured for us by Alpha Steel.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received invoices from Alpha Steel for purchases totaling $4.7 million. Our balances of remaining vendor deposits with Alpha Steel as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are shown in Note 5, "Prepaids and other current assets" above as "Vendor deposits with related party". After payments and application of vendor deposits to invoices received, we owe $1.2 million to Alpha Steel, which is included in our accounts payable balance at March 31, 2025 ($0.5 million at December 31, 2024) in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Overview

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Project Timing. Our level of manufacturing and logistics activity, and thus our revenue, can be significantly impacted by delays or changes in the expected timing of customer project development activity. In recent periods our customers have encountered delays in beginning or continuing project development caused by interconnection issues, including permit delays, equipment shortages, obtaining project financing at acceptable levels and addressing uncertainty in changes in government regulations, as described further below. Due to our limited number of large customers, such delays in project development activity can have a material impact on our quarterly and annual consolidated financial results.

Government Regulations. Changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs, AD/CVD investigations and the UFLPA, which became effective in June 2022, can have an impact on the timing of developer projects. The UFLPA resulted in new rules for module importers and reviews by CBP. There continues to be some uncertainty in the market around achieving full compliance

with UFLPA, whether related to sufficient traceability of materials or other factors. Escalating trade tensions, particularly between the United States and China, have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions, including tariffs applicable to certain raw materials and components for our products. We have taken measures with the intention of mitigating the effect of tariffs and the impact of AD/CVD and UFLPA on our business by reducing our reliance on China and enhancing our U.S.-based supply chain, including through our investment in Alpha Steel, as described further in Note 9, "Equity method investment" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In 2019, 90% of our supply chain was sourced from China. As of March 31, 2025, we have qualified suppliers outside of China for certain of our commodities and we continue to work to have second-source capability for all Chinese-manufactured components to help reduce the extent to which our supply chain for U.S.-based projects is subject to existing tariffs and to be able to quickly address potential future regulatory and governmental policy changes. We have entered into partnerships with manufacturers based in the United States, India, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Thailand and Vietnam to diversify our supply chain and optimize costs. On June 6, 2022, President Biden issued an Executive Order allowing U.S. solar deployers to import solar modules and cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam free from certain duties for 24 months, along with other incentives designed to accelerate U.S. domestic production of clean energy technologies. This moratorium ended in June 2024 and China-wide anti-dumping duties are now nearly 240% and countervailing duties for all other countries are over 15%. Additionally, on December 29, 2023, Auxin and Concept Clean Energy, Inc. filed suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging the legal basis for the moratorium and implementing regulations. Several motions have been filed to date, including a motion to dismiss by the U.S. government, which the court rejected. If the suit proves successful, solar module importers could owe retroactive duties on goods that have already cleared customs. In addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce is currently conducting an antidumping and countervailing duty investigation into imports of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia, which may result in additional duties imposed on imports from those nations.

Effective April 5, 2025, the United States imposed a universal 10% tariff on most imports into the United States, excluding certain trade agreements. Since then, the United States also imposed a 145% tariff on goods imported from China, and China imposed a retaliatory 125% tariff on goods imported from the United States. As of the issuance of this Quarterly Report, matters involving tariffs continue to evolve and change, including in some cases, implementation of temporary pauses on certain announced tariffs as negotiations on final trade deals occur. Depending on the terms of our existing contracts with customers, we may not in all cases be able to fully recover the increased cost of tracker systems currently being manufactured for our customers by our international vendors due to higher tariffs currently in place, which has and may continue to impact our expected profitability under certain contracts.

The most notable incentive program impacting our U.S. business has historically been the ITC for solar energy projects, which allows taxpayers to offset their U.S. federal income tax liability by a certain percentage of their cost basis in solar energy systems placed in service for commercial use. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA"), passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by then-President Biden on August 16, 2022, expanded and extended the tax credits and other tax benefits available to solar energy projects and the solar energy supply chain. ITCs are currently available at a base rate of 30% for projects that begin construction by the end of 2032, and decline to 26% and 22% for projects beginning construction in 2033 and 2034, respectively. Bonus credits are additionally available for projects that meet applicable domestic content and prevailing wage and apprenticeship rules. U.S. manufacturers of specific solar components are now eligible to claim production tax credits under Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which was established as part of the IRA and is a per-unit tax credit earned for each clean energy component manufactured domestically and sold by a manufacturer. Our investment in, and commitments made to Alpha Steel allow us to obtain benefits of lower product costs from Alpha Steel as a result of the production tax credit program, subject to our level of purchases from Alpha Steel.

Disruptions in Transportation and Supply Chain. Our costs are affected by the costs of certain components and materials, such as steel, motors and micro-chips, as well as transportation costs. Current market conditions and international conflicts that constrain the supply of materials and disrupt the flow of materials from international vendors can impact the cost of our products and services, along with overall rates of inflation in the global economy. While certain costs have moderated compared to pre-pandemic rates, domestic fuel prices continue to be elevated. Although we don't believe inflation has had a material impact on our results as presented in this report, such cost increases and decreases could impact our future operating margins, if material.

We have taken steps to expand and diversify our manufacturing partnerships and have adjusted our modes of transportation to mitigate the impact of headwinds that might arise in the global supply chain and logistics markets. As an example, we modified our ocean freight from previously using charter shipments to now using containerized shipments due to declining costs in the container market starting in 2022, but container shipping rates have since increased. We have been able to mitigate some of this increase as a result of increasing our domestic production capabilities. We continue to monitor the logistics markets and will continue to evaluate our use of various modes of transportation when warranted to optimize our transportation costs. Additionally, from February 2022 to September 2023, we utilized a related-party consulting firm to support us in making improvements to our processes and performance in various areas, including design, sourcing, logistics, pricing, software and our distributed generation business. We also intend to maintain our focus on our design-to-value initiative to continue to improve margins by reducing the manufacturing and material costs of our products.

Megawatts ("MW") Produced and MW Shipped and Average Selling Price ("ASP"). The primary operating metrics we use to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products are the change in quantity of MW produced and MW shipped from period to period. MW are measured for each individual project and are calculated based on the expected output of that project once installed and fully operational. We also utilize metrics related to price and cost of goods sold per watt, including the change in ASP from period to period and cost per watt. ASP is calculated by dividing product and service revenue by total watts produced or shipped and product and service cost per watt is calculated by dividing product or service costs of revenue by total watts produced or shipped. These metrics enable us to evaluate trends in pricing, manufacturing and logistics costs and profitability. Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, global inflation rates, high interest rates and international conflicts have in the past impacted and may continue to impact the U.S. economy, global supply chains, and our business. These impacts can cause significant project development and shipping delays and cost increases, as well as offsetting ASP increases, and also raise the price of inputs like steel and logistics, affecting our cost per watt. Competitive tracker pricing pressures can also impact our ASP, and thus our profitability, by limiting our ability to raise prices to offset cost increases.

Investment in Technology and Personnel. We invest in both the people and technology behind our products. We intend to continue making investments in the technology for our products and expansion of our patent portfolio to attract and retain customers, expand the capabilities and scope of our products, and enhance user experience. As an example, in August 2023, we introduced SUNOPS, a cloud-based solar asset monitoring solution, allowing asset owners and managers to evaluate the operation and performance of their solar deployments. Additionally, in May 2024, we announced the launch of our Automated Hail Stow Solution, aimed at minimizing solar panel damage caused by hailstorms. This solution integrates advanced technology with meteorological data to automatically adjust the positioning of solar panels, reducing the risk of hail-related damage.

In addition, we intend over time to make additional investments to attract and retain employees in key positions, including sales leads, engineers, software developers, quality assurance personnel, supply chain personnel, product management, and operations personnel, to help us drive further efficiencies across our marketplace and, in the case of sales leads, to continue to enhance and diversify our sales capabilities, including international expansion.

Impact of Climate Change. Climate change has primarily impacted our business operations by increasing demand for solar power generation and, as a result, for use of our products. The U.S. Energy Information Administration, in its January 2025 Short-Term Energy Outlook, estimates that solar generation, as a result of capacity additions, will increase in the United States by 34% in 2025 and 17% in 2026 and will supply most of the increase in electrical generation during those years.

While climate change has not resulted in any material negative impact to our operations to date, we recognize the risk of disruptions to our supply chain due to extreme weather events. This, among other things, has led us to expand the diversity of our supplier base and to partner with more local suppliers to reduce shipping and transportation needs. We are also increasingly partnering with larger scale steel producers rather than smaller suppliers to facilitate scaling of our operations while remaining conscious of the environmental impacts of steel manufacturing as the regulatory landscape around these high-emitting industries evolves. An example of this strategy is our investment in Alpha Steel, a U.S.-based manufacturing partnership with a leading steel fabricator.

We also attempt to mitigate the climate-related risks from the use of our products by designing our equipment and systems to have a high-slope tolerance and wind mitigation capabilities, while at the same time reducing the required foundation/pile count needed. This allows our trackers to be installed in increasingly hostile environments with minimal disturbance to the surrounding land.

Liquidity. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for a discussion of the impact of the items above on our liquidity position.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

The following discussion describes certain line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Revenue

Revenue from the sale of our solar tracker systems and customized components of those systems is recognized over time, as work progresses, utilizing an input measure of progress determined by cost incurred to date relative to total expected cost on these projects to correlate with our performance in transferring control over the tracker systems and their components. Revenue from the sale of individual parts is recognized at a point in time as and when control transfers based on the terms of the contract. Revenue from sale of term-based software licenses is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. Revenue for shipping and handling services is recognized over time based on progress in meeting shipping terms of the arrangements. Revenue for stand-alone engineering consulting and pile testing

services is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the services performed. Subscription revenue, which is derived from our subscription-based enterprise licensing model, and support revenue, which is derived from ongoing security updates and maintenance, are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Our customers include project developers, solar asset owners and EPCs that design and build solar energy projects. For each individual solar project, we enter into a contract with our customers covering the price, specifications, delivery dates and warranty for the products being purchased, among other things. Our contractual delivery period for our solar tracker systems and related parts can vary depending on the size of the project and availability of vessels and other means of delivery. Contracts can range in value from tens of thousands to tens of millions of dollars.

Our revenue is affected by changes in the volume and ASP of our solar tracking systems purchased by our customers and volume of sales of software products and engineering services, among other things. The ASP of our solar tracker systems and volume of sales is driven by the supply of, and demand for, our products, changes in product mix, geographic mix of our customers, strength of competitors’ product offerings, import tariffs and other import restrictions, supply chain issues and availability of government incentives to the end-users of our products. Additionally, our revenue may be impacted by seasonality due to cold weather, which can cause variability in site construction activity.

For the periods included in this Quarterly Report, no company locations other than those in the United States and Australia accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. Our revenue growth is dependent on continued growth in the number of solar tracker projects and engineering services we win in competitive bidding processes and growth in our software sales each year, as well as our ability to increase our market share in each of the geographies in which we currently compete, expand our global footprint to new emerging markets, grow our production capabilities to meet demand and continue to develop and introduce new and innovative products that address the changing technology and performance requirements of our customers, among other things.

Cost of revenue and gross profit (loss)

We subcontract with third-party manufacturers to manufacture and deliver our products directly to our customers. Our product costs are affected by the underlying cost of raw materials procured by these contract manufacturers, including steel and aluminum; component costs, including electric motors and gearboxes; technological innovation in manufacturing processes; and our ability to achieve economies of scale resulting in lower component costs. We do not currently hedge against changes in the price of raw materials, but we continue to explore opportunities to mitigate the risks of foreign currency and commodity fluctuations through the use of hedges and foreign exchange lines of credit. Some of these costs, primarily personnel, are not directly affected by sales volume.

Although we continue to add new employees in certain areas, we have reduced our total headcount over the last two years through adjustments made during the fourth quarter of 2024 and in August 2023, in response to project activity levels and process efficiencies we have gained due to our design-to-value and cost reduction efforts. Certain headcount changes also reflect a shift of our employee base to more cost-effective markets with exceptional talent. Our gross profit may vary period-to-period due to changes in our headcount, ASP, product costs, product versus service mix, customer mix, geographical mix, shipping methods, warranty costs and due to seasonal factors.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist of research and development expenses, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of our operating expenses and include salaries, benefits, bonuses, commissions and stock-based compensation expenses.

Our operating costs have been impacted by (i) changes in headcount as described above, (ii) our level of research activities to originate, develop and enhance our products, (iii) our sales and marketing efforts as we expand our outreach to existing customers and seek to identify new opportunities domestically and internationally, (iv) changes in our estimates of credit losses relating to certain specific customers, and (v) variations in legal and professional fees, compliance costs, insurance, facility costs and other costs associated with strategic changes in response to changing market conditions and other matters.

Revenue

We generate our revenue in two streams – Product revenue and Service revenue. Product revenue is derived from the sale of solar tracker systems and customized components for those systems, individual part sales for certain specific transactions and the sale of term-based software licenses. Service revenue includes revenue from shipping and handling services, engineering consulting and pile testing services, our subscription-based enterprise licensing model and maintenance and support services in connection with the term-based software licenses.

Product revenue

The increase in product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to an increase of 147% in the amount of MW produced as activity has been positively impacted by recent project wins. This was partially offset by a decrease of 32% in ASP for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of project mix changes as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Service revenue

The increase in service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily resulted from an increase of 103% in logistics activity levels. This was partially offset by (i) a decrease of 24% in ASP as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of project size and pricing and (ii) lower engineering consulting and software revenues.

Cost of revenue and gross loss

Gross profit may vary from period-to-period and is primarily affected by our ASP, product costs, timing of tracker production and delivery, customer mix, geographical mix, shipping method, logistics costs, warranty costs, indirect cost control efforts and seasonality.

The increase in cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily driven by (i) an increase of 147% in MW produced and (ii) an increase of 103% in logistics activity levels.

Our gross margin percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a negative 16.6%, which was relatively flat compared to a negative 16.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We had negative gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as revenue levels were not sufficient to cover certain overhead costs, and due to the impact of increased tariffs and freight costs.

We had negative gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as production volumes were not sufficient to cover certain overhead costs and our service revenue was not sufficient to fully cover our related shipping, transportation and warehousing costs.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense and travel expense related to our engineers performing research and development activities to originate, develop and enhance our products. Additional expenses include consulting charges, component purchases and other costs for performing research and development on our software products.

Research and development	$	924	$	1,439	$	(515	)		(35.8	%)

The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to (i) lower payroll costs of $0.3 million, (ii) lower spending on lab and other research activities of $0.1 million, and (iii) lower professional service costs of $0.1 million resulting from cost reduction initiatives. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue were 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 11.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense and travel expense related to our sales and marketing and business development personnel. Additionally, selling and marketing expenses include costs associated with professional fees and support charges for software subscriptions and licenses, trade shows and conventions.

(in thousands)	2025		2024		$ Change			% Change
Selling and marketing	$	1,136	$	2,388	$	(1,252	)		(52.4	%)

The decrease in selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to (i) lower provisions for credit losses of $0.8 million, mainly related to charges associated with specific individual customer accounts during 2024, and (ii) lower payroll costs of $0.3 million. Lower travel and professional service costs accounted for the remaining decrease. Selling and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue were 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 19.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense and travel expense related to our executives, finance team, and administrative employees. It also consists of legal, consulting, and professional fees, rent and lease expense pertaining to our headquarters and international offices, business insurance costs and certain other costs.

General and administrative	$	5,053	$	6,567	$	(1,514	)		(23.1	%)

The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to (i) lower stock-based compensation totaling $1.3 million, largely associated with certain executive award forfeitures during the three months ended March 31, 2025, (ii) lower professional service costs of $0.5 million, (iii) lower insurance costs of $0.2 million, and (iv) lower intangible asset amortization expense of $0.1 million as such assets became fully amortized as of December 31, 2024. This was partially offset by higher payroll costs of $0.6 million. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 24.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 52.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, largely due to the lower level of revenue.

Gain from disposal of investment in unconsolidated subsidiary	$	3,204	$	4,085	$	(881	)		(21.6	%)

We sold our 23% equity interest in our unconsolidated subsidiary, Dimension Energy LLC ("Dimension"), on June 24, 2021. Dimension is a community solar developer based in Atlanta, Georgia that provides renewable energy solutions for local communities in the United States.

The sales agreement with Dimension included an earnout provision which provided for the potential to receive additional contingent consideration earned through December 2024, based on Dimension achieving certain performance milestones. The sales agreement also

included additional contingent consideration in the form of a projects escrow release based on Dimension’s completion of certain construction projects in progress at the time of the sale.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we received earnout payments of $3.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, that were recognized in accordance with our policy election of recording such gains when realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and going concern

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of shares of common stock, including our IPO in April 2021, issuance of debt and payments from our customers and others. Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent on our level of production, contract payment terms, timely collections from our customers and the strength of our gross margins.

Based on our cash position at March 31, 2025 and our recent operating losses, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern within the next year.

anticipate that we will make similar elections in the future. However, we could elect to make such interest payments in cash instead depending on changes in our future financial position. The obligations under the Senior Notes are secured by a lien on our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.

Statements of cash flows

The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods:

Decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(5,338	)	$	(9,298	)

Operating activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used approximately $8.4 million of cash to fund a portion of our current period expenditures for personnel and facilities, legal and professional fees, insurance, research and development and various other operating activities. This compares to approximately $8.1 million of cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2024, also to fund a portion of our prior period expenditures for various operating activities as described above.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used approximately $3.8 million of cash for working capital and other increases as a result of production activity and the timing of customer receipts and vendor payments.

Our working capital decreased by approximately $6.9 million from almost $27.1 million at December 31, 2024 to $20.2 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease was largely attributable to (i) the use of cash to fund current period expenditures as described above and (ii) the impact of higher activity levels on the amount of billed and unbilled accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Investing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received $3.2 million of contingent earnout payments in connection with the June 2021 sale of our equity interest in Dimension. We also had capital expenditures of approximately $0.1 million, primarily for tooling.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $4.1 million of contingent earnout payments from Dimension. We also made an additional equity investment of $1.0 million in Alpha Steel and spent nearly $0.4 million, mainly for tooling and new computer and IT equipment.

Financing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received a minimal amount of proceeds from employee exercises of stock options. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates

To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a significant degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue recognition

Our accounting policy on revenue recognition may be found in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Judgments and assumptions

The timing and amounts of revenue and cost of revenue recognition, as well as recording of related receivables and deferred revenue, is highly dependent on our identification of performance obligations in each contract and our estimates by contract of total project cost and our progress toward project completion as of each period end. Certain estimates are subject to factors outside of our control that may impact our suppliers and the global supply chain. As an example, we began to experience increases in steel prices and shipping and logistics costs, as well as delays in delivery of our products to customers during 2021, which negatively impacted our results of operations as we were not able to recover all of the additional costs under certain of our fixed fee contracts. In addition, regulatory, tariff and import concerns such as those caused by the UFLPA and the Solar Circumvention Investigation have in the past, and may continue to, affect our ability to obtain project materials and may delay the timing of customer project activity which has had in the past, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our results of operations, including the expected timing of the recognition of revenue needed to cover our relatively fixed overhead costs. We base our estimates on the best information available at each period end, but future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, and actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

Accounts receivable, net

Our accounting policy relating to our accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses may be found in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Judgments and assumptions

The allowance for credit losses is based on the lifetime expected credit loss of our customer accounts. To assess the lifetime expected credit loss, we utilize a loss rate method that takes into consideration historical experience and certain other factors, as appropriate, such as credit quality, current economic or other conditions and changes in project status that may affect a customer's ability to pay. This method accelerates the recognition of expected credit losses as compared to the incurred loss model used prior to 2023 and may result in material differences between our estimates and actual collection results. We may also have greater fluctuations in our credit loss expense over time

based on changes in our historical experience or changes in estimates of future economic conditions which may not adequately reflect future actual customer payment activity.

Adjustments to the allowance are largely dependent on historical experience involving amounts previously collected from our customers in recent years or based on specific changes in a customer's ability to pay. As an example, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a reduction of $0.1 million in our allowance for credit losses compared to an additional credit loss provision of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, with the change primarily related to our assessment in 2024 as to a specific customer's inability to fully pay amounts owed. Historical experience, when used in making such adjustments, may not reflect current actual experience.

Warranty

Our accounting policy relating to our warranty obligations may be found in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Judgments and assumptions

We base our estimated warranty obligations on available industry data relating to the nature and frequency of product failure rates and, where possible, on our historical experience, to make estimates of costs to address future claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain given our relatively short history of sales, and changes to our historical or projected warranty experience or fluctuations in available industry data may result in material changes to our warranty reserves in the future. Additionally, we make estimates of what costs we believe will be recoverable from the manufacturers of our products that we use to offset our obligations to our customers.

While we periodically monitor our warranty activities and claims, if actual costs incurred were to be different from our estimates, we would recognize adjustments to our warranty reserves in the period in which those differences arise or are identified. Such adjustments could be material to the cost of revenue in our results of operations in the period the adjustments are made.

Stock-based compensation and warrants

Our accounting policies relating to our stock-based compensation and our outstanding Warrants may be found in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Judgments and assumptions

The Black-Scholes model and Monte Carlo simulations rely on various assumptions, in addition to the exercise price of an option award or our Warrants and the value of our common stock on the date of grant. These assumptions include:

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards and Warrants are expected to be outstanding and is calculated for option grants as the average of the option vesting and contractual terms, based on the simplified method, as we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term for options granted. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options. The contractual life of an option may be up to 10 years. Monte Carlo simulations, as described below, estimate the derived service period of awards with market conditions.

Expected Volatility: Since the Company did not have a trading history of its common stock prior to our IPO and since such trading history subsequent to our IPO is limited and may be less than the expected term of an award or our Warrants, the expected volatility is derived from a weighted average of (i) our historical volatility over our entire trading history, with respect to certain more recent awards, and (ii) the average historical stock volatilities of several public companies within the Company’s industry that it considers to be comparable to its business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants, or awards granted with market conditions.

Risk-Free-Interest-Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the expected term or derived service or performance period.

Expected Dividend: The Company has not issued any dividends in its history and does not expect to issue dividends over the life of option grants or awards with market conditions and, therefore, has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.

We used Monte Carlo simulations for certain awards granted with market conditions which provided an estimated average present value for each award based on a simulation assuming Geometric Brownian Motion in a risk-neutral framework using up to 250,000 simulation paths to determine the derived service and vesting periods.

Our use of the simplified method for estimating the expected outstanding term of our options may differ significantly from future actual exercise patterns of our option holders. Estimates of the outstanding term of our options that are less than the actual exercise patterns of our option holders, may result in lower recognized expense. Alternatively, our recognized expense may be higher if our option holders exercise their options sooner than our estimates project.

Similarly, our use of a volatility estimate based on historical stock volatilities of a peer group of other public companies may differ significantly from the actual future volatility of our stock over the term our Warrants and our options or awards with market conditions are held. Higher estimated volatility compared to future actual results may result in higher recognized expense or fair value of our Warrants and alternatively, lower expected volatility compared to future actual results may result in lower recognized expense or fair value of our Warrants.

Changes to any of our assumptions, but particularly our estimates of expected term or derived service period and volatility, could change the fair value of our Warrants, as well as our options or awards with market conditions which could impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense we report each period. Changes in the trading price of our common stock on Nasdaq could also have a significant impact on the fair value of our Warrants, as well as whether awards with market conditions are ultimately earned.

Impairment

Our accounting policies relating to impairment of our long-lived assets held for use and of goodwill may be found in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Judgments and assumptions

Key judgments and assumptions involving our assessment of impairment of our long-lived assets, as well as goodwill, may include:

•

Determination of whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our long-lived assets or goodwill might be impaired. Such factors to consider may include an evaluation of changes in the business or regulatory climate, market conditions or other events impacting our operations;

•

Estimating future cash flows of our long-lived assets or asset groups, which may involve assumptions as to the lowest level of our assets at which cash flows are generated, including future growth and risk-adjusted discount rates, as well as a terminal growth rate or value and future market conditions;

•

Estimates of assumptions a market participant would use in determining the fair value of the affected long-lived assets or asset groups; and

•

Estimating the fair value of the consolidated company.

In estimating the fair value of the consolidated company, we used our market capitalization based on our closing stock price on the Nasdaq Capital Market at March 31, 2025. Our daily closing stock price is affected by numerous factors, some of which may not directly involve the operations of the company and, historically, has demonstrated high volatility.

We did not identify any impairments of our long-lived assets or goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

JOBS Act accounting election

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to use the allowed extended transition period for adopting new or revised accounting standards.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS")

We utilize Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus (i) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (ii) interest expense, less interest income, (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) stock-based compensation, and (vi) Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") transition costs, non-routine legal fees, costs associated with our Reverse Stock Split, severance and certain other costs (credits). We also deduct the contingent gains arising from earnout payments and project escrow releases relating to the disposal of our investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary and gains from changes in fair value of our warrant liability from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss plus (i) amortization of debt issue costs and intangibles, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) CEO transition costs, non-routine legal fees, costs associated with our Reverse Stock Split, severance and certain other costs (credits), and (iv) the income tax expense (benefit) of those adjustments, if any. We also deduct the contingent gains arising from earnout payments and project escrow releases relating to the disposal of our investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary and gains from changes in fair value of our warrant liability in arriving at Adjusted Net Loss. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Loss on a per share basis using our weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS are intended as supplemental measures of performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS, because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on an ongoing basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

Among other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS do not reflect (i) our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, and (ii) the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. Further, the adjustments noted in Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of any income tax expense or benefit. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS differently than we do, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and you should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. These non-GAAP financial measures, when presented, are reconciled to the most closely applicable U.S. GAAP measure as disclosed below:

These sign-on bonuses will be expensed over the periods through October 1, 2026, to reflect the required service periods. We do not view these sign-on bonuses as being part of the normal on-going compensation arrangements for our CEO.

We do not consider these fees to be part of our normal ongoing operations.
(f)	Severance costs in 2025 were due to restructuring changes.
(g)	Prior year per-share amounts and number of shares, as applicable, have been revised to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, effective November 29, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of customer

concentrations and fluctuations in steel, aluminum and logistics/transportation prices, as well as from fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Fair value of financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, warrants and debt obligations. Cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date. We estimate the fair value of our warrants using a Black-Scholes model involving current assumptions at each reporting period of (i) the per share value of our common stock, (ii) the expected holding period of the warrants before exercise, (iii) the estimated volatility of our stock over the expected holding period of the warrants, (iv) a risk free interest rate over the expected holding period of the warrants and, (v) an estimated dividend yield on our common stock over the expected holding period of the warrants. Each of those assumptions are subject to change over time.

We had $5.9 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, the vast majority of which was located in the United States as of March 31, 2025. We regularly maintain cash balances with various financial institutions that exceed federally insured amounts, but we have experienced no losses associated with these amounts to date. We periodically evaluate the financial health of the financial institutions we use and may take action in future periods, similar to past actions, to reallocate cash balances between financial institutions based on our evaluation.

Certain of our cash equivalents include deposits in money market funds that invest primarily in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities and contain no restrictions on immediate redemption. The carrying value for these money market fund deposits approximates fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for units held (Level 1 classification) and totaled $0.5 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2025, we had Senior Notes outstanding with principal and accrued interest totaling $15.6 million and we estimated the fair value our outstanding Warrants to be approximately $4.9 million. The fair value of our debt is impacted by changes in interest and market rates for similar debt and the fair value of our Warrants is largely impacted by changes in the trading price of our common stock, among other factors.

We have no other financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, other than certain non-functional currency intercompany and third-party receivables and payables, which are subject to foreign exchange, interest rate or market risks.

Concentrations of major customers

Our customers include project developers, solar asset owners and EPCs that design and build solar energy projects. We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business, often without requiring collateral. We also perform credit analyses and monitor the financial health of our customers to reduce credit risk.

We typically rely on a small number of customers that account for a large portion of our revenue each period and our outstanding receivables at each period end.

Further, our accounts receivable are from companies within or serving the solar industry and, as such, we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. We continually evaluate our reserves for potential credit losses and establish initial reserves based on our expectation of lifetime expected credit losses.

Commodity Price Risk

We subcontract to various contract manufacturers, who manufacture and deliver products directly to our customers. We, therefore, do not procure raw materials and commodities directly, except for items added to our inventory. We are subject to indirect risk from fluctuating market prices of certain commodity raw materials, including steel and aluminum, which are used in our products, through our contract manufacturers, as increases in these commodity prices would increase our cost of procuring subcontracting services. Prices of these raw materials may be affected by supply restrictions or other market factors from time to time. Significant price increases for these raw materials could reduce our operating margins if we are unable to recover such increases in costs from our customers, and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Identification of material weakness

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we identified a control failure that occurred in regard to a specific fact pattern involving the accounting for contract change orders with a specific customer that resulted in an overstatement in our calculation of revenue being recognized over time on certain affected projects. The error was corrected and reflected properly in our 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on our assessment of other projects with a similar fact pattern, we believe the error was limited to the identified projects and was not pervasive in our process of revenue recognition involving other customers and projects, and has no impact on any previously reported financial results.

Due to the significance of our accounting for revenue, we deemed this to be a material weakness in our controls involving recognition of revenue over time. As a result, we have begun efforts to enhance our internal accounting processes and management review controls in an effort to be more effective in preventing and detecting such errors on a more timely basis in the future.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations, and other proceedings arising in the normal course of business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are subject to a number of risks that in some cases have and moving forward if realized could further adversely affect our business, strategies, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Some of the more significant risks and uncertainties we face include those summarized below. The summary below is not exhaustive and is qualified by reference to the full set of risk factors set forth in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Annual Report.

Since the issuance of our 2024 Annual Report, there have been further developments with regard to international trade policy, including implementation of tariffs by the United States government on various countries. For example, effective April 5, 2025, the United States imposed a universal 10% tariff on most imports into the United States, excluding certain trade agreements. Since then, the United States also imposed a 145% tariff on goods imported from China, and China imposed a retaliatory 125% tariff on goods imported from the United States. As of the issuance of this Quarterly Report, matters involving tariffs continue to evolve and change, including in some cases, implementation of temporary pauses on certain announced tariffs as negotiations on final trade deals occur. Depending on the terms of our existing contracts with customers, we may not in all cases be able to fully recover the increased cost of tracker systems currently being manufactured for our customers by our international vendors due to higher tariffs currently in place, which has and may continue to impact our expected profitability under certain contracts.

Please carefully consider all of the information in this Quarterly Report and our 2024 Annual Report, including the full set of risks set forth in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our 2024 Annual Report, and in our other filings with the SEC before making an investment decision regarding us.

•

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

We have a history of losses that may continue in the future and have determined there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; the demand for our products and related revenue depends on many factors beyond our control; we may not achieve profitability or generate positive cash flow; and we may not be able to obtain desired additional debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us.

Our dependence on a limited number of customers, the payment terms we agree to with such customers and the expected timing of customer project development activity may impair our ability to operate profitably.

The market for our products and services is highly competitive and rapidly evolving and we expect to face increased competition.

Our success in providing panel agnostic versions of our solar tracker systems will depend in part upon our ability to continue to work closely with leading solar panel manufacturers.

We invest significant time, resources and management attention to identifying and developing project leads that are subject to our sales and marketing focus, and if we are unsuccessful in converting such project leads (or awarded orders) into binding purchase orders, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We plan to continue expanding into additional international markets, which will expose us to additional regulatory, economic, political, reputational and competitive risks.

•

Risks Related to Government Regulations and Legal Compliance

The reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for, or regulations mandating the use of, as well as corporate commitments to the use of, renewable energy and solar energy specifically could reduce demand for solar energy systems and harm our business.

The concentration of our sales in a limited number of specific markets increases risks associated with the reduction, elimination or expiration of governmental subsidies and economic incentives for solar energy products.

Existing electric utility industry policies and regulations, and any subsequent changes, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems that may significantly reduce demand for our products and services or harm our ability to compete.

Actions addressing determinations of forced labor practices in China and legislation and policies adopted to address such practices may disrupt the global supply of solar panels and affect our business.

Changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs, could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us, or our customers, could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

•

Risks Related to Manufacturing and Our Supply Chain

We depend upon a limited number of outside contract manufacturers, and our operations could be disrupted if our relationships with these contract manufacturers are compromised.

We may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our contract manufacturers’ manufacturing operations, which could result in reputational damage and other liabilities to our customers.

We depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers for key components of our products to adequately meet anticipated demand. Due to the limited number of such contract manufacturers, any cessation of operations or production or any shortage, delay, price change, imposition of tariffs or duties or other limitation on our ability to obtain the components we use could result in sales delays, cancellations and loss of market share.

•

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

If we fail, in whole or in part, to obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed.

We may need to defend ourselves against third-party claims that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating third-party intellectual property rights, which could divert management’s attention, cause us to incur significant costs and prevent us from selling or using the products, services or technologies to which such rights relate.

•

Risks Related to Information Technology and Data Privacy

A significant cybersecurity incident or other disruption to our technology infrastructure could disrupt our business operations and cause financial and reputational damage.

Unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or confidential information, whether through a breach of our computer or information technology systems or otherwise, could severely hurt our business.

•

Risks Related to Our Capital Strategy, Ownership of Our Common Stock, and Our Senior Notes

An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not be sustained.

If the trading price of our common stock fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our common stock and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

Raising additional funds may cause dilution to existing stockholders and/or may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights.

The terms and covenants included in the Senior Notes could restrict our business, and if we do not comply with the covenants included in the Senior Notes our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, our operations may not provide sufficient cash to meet the repayment obligations under the Senior Notes.

There may be future sales of our securities or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Certain provisions of the Warrants could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

The price of our common stock could decline if securities analysts do not publish research or if securities analysts or other third parties publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over our company, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

As described further in Note 2 in Part I, Item 1 under the section "Liquidity and Going Concern" and in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report under the section "Liquidity and Capital Resources", we have a history of cash outflows to fund operations.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

We currently operate in one business segment, the manufacturing and servicing of solar tracker systems. See Note 18, "Segment information" below for further discussion.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Based on our cash position at March 31, 2025 and our recent operating losses, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern within the next year.

Use of estimates

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Accounts receivable, net

Impairment

Goodwill

We operate in one segment, being the consolidated entity, which we have also determined is the reporting unit for goodwill impairment.

No impairment of goodwill was recognized as of March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Summary of significant accounting policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation	Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared based on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As discussed further in "Liquidity and Going Concern" below, given the Company's current cash balances and recurring losses from operations, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern during the next year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been made that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to our annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We currently operate in one business segment, the manufacturing and servicing of solar tracker systems. See Note 18, "Segment information" below for further discussion.
Liquidity and Going Concern	Liquidity and Going Concern We have incurred cumulative losses since inception and have a history of cash outflows from operations, inclusive of $8.5 million in cash utilized in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we had $5.9 million of cash on hand and $20.2 million of working capital. As of March 31, 2025, in addition to our cash on hand and working capital, we had approximately $64.9 million of remaining capacity available for future sales of our common stock under our ATM program as defined and described further in Note 14, "ATM Program" below. Our ability to use the ATM program may be constrained by the size of our non-affiliate market capitalization, our trading volume and other factors, and there can be no assurance regarding the price at which we will be able to sell such shares, and any sales of our common stock under the ATM program may be at prices that result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders. Based on our cash position at March 31, 2025 and our recent operating losses, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern within the next year. At March 31, 2025, we had a contractual obligation that could require us to make additional capital contributions of up to $0.8 million to Alpha Steel, as well as make a minimum level of purchases from Alpha Steel, as described further in Note 9, "Equity method investment" below. In the event we were to fail to meet our minimum required purchase commitments during a specified period, including the current period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, we may be required to make a cash payment for the net profit attributable to any unfilled requirements, calculated as specified in the agreement, in an amount not to exceed $4.0 million in the aggregate. In order to conserve our existing cash, we have elected, pursuant to the Senior Notes, for interest payable under the Senior Notes to be added to the principal amount on the applicable interest payment dates of the last day of June and December of each year, and we anticipate that we will make similar elections in the future. However, we could elect to make such interest payments in cash instead depending on changes in our future financial position. The obligations under the Senior Notes are secured by a lien on our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs over the next year is dependent upon (i) our cash on hand (subject to a quarter-end minimum balance covenant of $5 million under the terms of our Senior Notes offering), (ii) our expectations of increased project activity and cash flow during the twelve-month period following issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, (iii) expected proceeds of up to $10 million from an additional private placement of debt based on a term sheet executed on March 4, 2025, as described further below, and (iv) utilization, as appropriate, of the capacity available for future sales of our common stock under the ATM program, which may be constrained by the size of our non-affiliate market capitalization, our trading volume and other factors. In addition, we continue to remain focused on implementing additional cost savings steps, which could impact, among other things, location of our headcount and the level of services currently provided by third parties, and we continue to evaluate further opportunities to obtain additional financing, although the ability to ultimately obtain such additional financing is not entirely within our control.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates Preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported revenue and expenses during the period. Estimates are used for calculating the measure of progress of our solar tracker projects and deriving the standalone selling prices of the individual performance obligations when determining amounts to recognize for revenue, estimating allowances for credit losses and slow-moving and obsolete inventory, determining useful lives of long-lived assets and the estimated fair value of those assets for impairment assessments, and estimating the fair value of investments, warrants, stock compensation awards, warranty liabilities and federal and state taxes, including tax valuation allowances, as well as other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties.
Concentration of credit risk	Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and accounts receivable. We regularly maintain cash balances with various financial institutions that exceed federally insured amounts, but we have experienced no losses associated with these amounts to date. We periodically evaluate the financial health of the financial institutions we use and may take action in future periods, similar to past actions, to reallocate cash balances between financial institutions based on our evaluation. We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business, often without requiring collateral. We also perform credit analyses and monitor the financial health of our customers to reduce credit risk. The Company’s accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States and Australia. For the periods included in this Quarterly Report, no company locations other than those in the United States and Australia accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. Most of our customers are project developers, solar asset owners and engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contractors that design and build solar energy projects. We typically rely on a small number of customers that account for a large portion of our revenue each period and our outstanding receivables at each period end.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Certain of our cash equivalents include deposits in money market funds that invest primarily in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities and contain no restrictions on immediate redemption. These deposits totaled $0.5 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Interest earned on cash equivalents is included in interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Accounts receivable, net	Accounts receivable, net Trade receivables are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of allowances for credit losses, and do not bear interest. We generally do not require collateral from our customers; however, in certain circumstances, we may require letters of credit, other collateral, additional guarantees or advance payments. The allowance for credit losses is based on the lifetime expected credit loss of our customer accounts. To assess the lifetime expected credit loss, we utilize a loss rate method that takes into consideration historical experience and certain other factors, as appropriate, such as credit quality, current economic or other conditions and changes in project status that may affect a customer's ability to pay. Provisions for credit losses are included as a component of our selling and marketing expenses. Receivables arising from revenue recognized in excess of billings represent our unconditional right to consideration before customers are invoiced due to the level of progress obtained as of period end on our contracts to procure and deliver tracker systems and related equipment. Further information may be found below in our revenue recognition policy.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs computed on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess and obsolete items and adjusts carrying costs to estimated net realizable values when they are determined to be less than cost.
Impairment	Impairment We review our long-lived assets that are held for use for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable or that its useful life may be shorter than previously expected. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset, which in most cases is estimated based upon Level 3 unobservable inputs. If the asset is determined to have a remaining useful life shorter than previously expected, an adjustment for the shorter remaining life will be made for purposes of recognizing future depreciation expense. Assets are classified as held for sale when we have a plan, approved by the appropriate levels of management, for disposal of such assets, as well as other considerations, and those assets are stated at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Goodwill	Goodwill We recognize goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identified assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment at least annually, or whenever events and circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. Our assessments may include qualitative factors such as current or expected industry and market conditions, our overall financial performance, share price trends, market capitalization and other company-specific events. We operate in one segment, being the consolidated entity, which we have also determined is the reporting unit for goodwill impairment. No impairment of goodwill was recognized as of March 31, 2025 or 2024.
Equity method investments	Equity method investment We use the equity method of accounting for investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. Our proportionate share of the net income or loss of these investees is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest, legal form of the investee, representation on the board of directors or managers, participation in policy-making decisions and material intra-entity transactions. We account for distributions received from equity method investees under the “nature of the distribution” approach based on the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash inflows from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as cash inflows from investing activities). We evaluate equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. Factors considered by the Company when reviewing an equity method investment for impairment include the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of the equity method investment has been less than its cost, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery. An impairment that is other than temporary is recognized in the period identified. We made an accounting policy election that, upon the sale of our equity method investments, we will recognize contractual contingent gains arising from earnout provisions and project escrow releases when such amounts are realizable in periods subsequent to the disposal date.
Deferred debt discount and issue costs	Deferred debt discount and issue costs Legal, consulting, accounting and other fees that are incremental and directly related to issuances of long-term debt, including any discounts on the debt, are capitalized and reflected as a reduction to the principal amount of our outstanding debt. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the interest method.
Warrants	Warrants Warrants issued for the purchase of our common stock are evaluated for liability or equity classification and recorded at fair value upon issuance. Fair value may be determined using a Black-Scholes model or other valuation technique depending on the terms of the warrants. Warrants containing clauses that could require settlement in cash or with other assets are reflected as liabilities whereas warrants that may only be settled with the issuance of our common stock are reflected as a component of our equity. Warrants classified as liabilities are adjusted to current fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes reflected in our results of operations. Legal, consulting, accounting and other fees that are incremental and directly related to the issuance of warrants are expensed as incurred for warrants classified as liabilities or shown as a reduction to the value of our warrants as reflected in our equity.
Warranty	Warranty Typically, the sale of solar tracker projects includes parts warranties to customers as part of the overall price of the product. We provide standard assurance type warranties for our products for periods generally ranging from five to ten years. We also accrue for costs relating to remediation efforts involving product issues we believe require correction. We record a provision for estimated warranty and remediation expenses in cost of sales, net of amounts recoverable from manufacturers under their warranty obligations to us. When historical claims information relating to our equipment is not sufficient, we will base our estimates on industry studies involving the nature and frequency of product failure rates for similar parts used by our competitors, as well as other related businesses. We do not maintain general or unspecified reserves; all warranty reserves are related to specific projects. All actual or estimated material costs incurred for warranty or remediation services in subsequent periods are charged to those established reserves. While we periodically monitor our warranty activities and claims, if actual costs incurred were to be different from our estimates, we would recognize adjustments to our warranty reserves in the period in which those differences arise or are identified.
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made, including stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for awards with service-based vesting or through use of a lattice model or a Monte Carlo simulation for stock option and RSU awards with market conditions. The fair value of RSUs with service or performance-based vesting is based on the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. We consider the closing price of our stock, as reported on Nasdaq, to be the fair value of our stock on the grant date. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. For service-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized using the straight-line attribution approach over the requisite service period. For performance-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized based on graded vesting over the requisite service period when the performance condition is probable of being achieved. Stock compensation expense for market-based awards is recognized over the derived service period determined in the valuation model, inclusive of any vesting conditions.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition Product revenue is derived from the sale of solar tracker systems and customized components for those systems, individual part sales for certain specific transactions and the sale of term-based software licenses. Term-based licensed software is deployed on the customers’ own servers and has significant standalone functionality. Service revenue includes revenue from shipping and handling services, engineering consulting and pile testing services, our subscription-based enterprise licensing model and maintenance and support services in connection with the term-based software licenses. Our subscription-based enterprise licensing model typically has contract terms ranging from one to two years and consists of subscription fees from the licensing of subscription services. Our hosted on-demand service arrangements do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the hosted services. Support services include ongoing security updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and maintenance. We recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services by following a five-step process: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation, as further described below. Identify the contract with a customer: A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. In assessing the recognition of revenue, we also evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations which could change the amount of revenue and profit (loss) recorded in a period. Change orders may include changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, equipment, materials, scope of work, and/or the period of completion of the project. We analyze change orders to determine if they should be accounted for as a modification to an existing contract or a new stand-alone contract. Contracts we enter into with our customers for sale of solar tracker systems are generally under two different types of arrangements: (1) purchase agreements and equipment supply contracts (“Purchase Agreements”), and (2) sale of individual parts for those systems. Change orders from our customers that are deemed to be modifications to existing contracts are included in the total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in additional value that can be reliably estimated and realized. Identify the performance obligations in the contract: We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are either capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations or as one performance obligation since the majority of tasks and services are part of a single project or capability. However, determining whether products or services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may sometimes require significant judgment. Our Purchase Agreements typically include two performance obligations: 1) our solar tracker systems or customized components of those systems, and 2) shipping and handling services. The deliverables included as part of our solar tracker systems are predominantly accounted for as one performance obligation, as these deliverables are part of a combined promise to deliver a project. The revenue for shipping and handling services will be recognized over time based on progress in meeting shipping terms of the arrangements, as this faithfully depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control. Revenue for stand-alone engineering consulting and pile testing services is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the services performed. Sales of individual parts of our solar tracker systems for certain specific transactions include multiple performance obligations consisting of individual parts of those systems. Revenue is recognized for parts sales at a point in time when the obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is in line with shipping terms. Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Such amounts are typically stated in the customer contract, and to the extent that we identify variable consideration, we will estimate the variable consideration at the onset of the arrangement as long as it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration provisions as a continuation of the original contract. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract: Once we have determined the transaction price, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in a manner depicting the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring the good(s) or service(s) to the customer. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. We use the expected cost-plus margin approach based on hardware, labor, and related overhead cost to estimate the standalone selling price of our solar tracker systems, customized components of those systems, and individual parts for certain specific transactions. We also use the expected cost-plus margin approach based on expected third-party shipping and transportation costs to estimate the standalone selling price of our shipping, handling and logistics performance obligations. We use the adjusted market assessment approach for all other performance obligations. Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation: For each performance obligation identified, we determine at contract inception whether we satisfy the performance obligation over time or at a point in time. The performance obligations in the contracts for our solar tracker systems and customized components of those systems are satisfied over time as work progresses, utilizing an input measure of progress determined by cost-to-cost measures on these projects as this faithfully depicts our performance in transferring control. Additionally, our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use, due to the highly customized nature of the product, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our performance obligations for individual part sales for certain specific transactions are recognized at a point in time as and when control transfers based on the terms for the contract. Our performance obligations for engineering consulting and pile testing services are recognized at a point in time upon completion of the services. Our performance obligations for term-based software licenses are recognized at a point in time as and when control transfers, either upon delivery to the customer or the software license start date, whichever is later. Our performance obligations for shipping and handling services are satisfied over time as the services are delivered over the term of the contract. We recognize revenue for subscription and other services on a straight-line basis over the contract period. With regard to support revenue, a time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because we transfer control evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to support revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Contract assets and liabilities: The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collection results in the recognition of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables for revenue recognized in excess of billings, and deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have elected to use the practical expedient of expensing incremental costs of obtaining a contract for our contracts of less than one year in duration. We may receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities, which are reflected as “deferred revenue” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Customer deposits are short term as the related performance obligations are typically fulfilled within 12 months. Changes in deferred revenue relate to fluctuations in the timing of customer deposits and completion of performance obligations. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from amounts included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2024, totaled $4.1 million. Approximately, $2.4 million of revenue was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from amounts included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2023. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2023 totaled $3.6 million. Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs related to raw materials, equipment manufacturing activities, net of incentives earned, freight and delivery, product warranty, remediation and personnel costs (salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation). Personnel costs in cost of revenue include both direct labor costs, as well as costs attributable to any individuals whose activities relate to the procurement, installment and delivery of the finished product and services. Cost of revenue owed but not yet paid is recorded as accrued cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred cost of revenue, a component of our prepaid and other current assets, results from the timing differences between the costs incurred in advance of the satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA")	Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) The IRA was enacted into law on August 16, 2022, and provides for various clean energy credits, including an Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit under Section 45X (“45X Credit”) for eligible parts, including torque tubes and structural fasteners, that we purchase from Alpha Steel. Our agreements with Alpha Steel allow for us to receive benefit of the 45X Credits earned by Alpha Steel in the form of reductions to the purchase price of the products manufactured for us on a per-unit basis. Utilizing guidance in IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, we recognize the benefits of these reductions as they are earned during the manufacturing process and reflect them as related party receivables and a reduction of our cost of revenue.
Recent accounting and regulatory pronouncements not yet adopted	Recent accounting and regulatory pronouncements not yet adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose (i) additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes above a quantitative threshold in their rate reconciliation table and (ii) income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods, as well as other disclosure changes. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to adopt ASU 2023-09 prior to 2026, although earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our existing income tax disclosures. In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. This rule would require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued a stay of the final rules pending a judicial review of the validity of the rules by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. We are currently evaluating the final rule to determine its impact on our disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-04). ASU 2024-03 requires companies to disclose additional specific information including, among other things, (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, and (d) intangible asset amortization included in each of its expense captions disclosed on the face of its results of operations statement, as well as total selling expenses. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, we are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 for our annual reporting effective December 31, 2027 and in our quarterly reporting beginning in 2028. Other standards or regulatory requirements that have been issued but not yet adopted as of March 31, 2025, are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have any material impact upon adoption.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Prior year amounts relating to interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There was no impact on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of the reclassification.
