Array Technologies, Inc.

Array Technologies, Inc. is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and supply of solar tracking systems for utility-scale and commercial solar energy projects. Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the company's mission is to make clean energy a practical, economical, and sustainable solution for all by delivering tracker solutions that maximize solar project returns for developers, EPCs, and asset owners.

The company's core offerings include single-axis solar trackers such as DuraTrack HZ, OmniTrack, and STI H250, which are engineered to optimize energy production by precisely orienting solar panels toward the sun. Complementing its hardware, Array Technologies provides SmarTrack software for advanced control and optimization, along with a suite of services including installation support, field services, and technical assistance. These products and services primarily target utility-scale solar project developers, independent power producers, and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms globally.

Array Technologies is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol ARRY. In recent news, the company appointed Charlie Wickersham as Senior Vice President of Technology in April 2026 to lead its technology strategy and advance next-generation solar solutions. The company reported strong financial performance for 2025, with a 40% year-over-year revenue increase, and a record $2.2 billion order book, projecting 2026 revenues between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion. Strategic acquisitions, including STI Norland in 2022 and APA Solar in 2025, have expanded its global footprint and product integration, solidifying its position as a leading player in the solar tracking market.
