A Strategic Match Made in the Dirt
The marriage between tracker tech and engineered foundations is more than complementary—it’s structural alchemy, especially as solar developers increasingly confront challenging soil conditions in expanding markets.
“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of APA,” said Kevin Hostetler, CEO of Array Technologies. “Demand for engineered foundations is growing rapidly because of their ability to make projects in areas with more challenging soil conditions economically viable.”
APA’s foundation systems, known for outperforming rival solutions in rough terrain, are cheaper and quicker to install, giving Array a new competitive edge across a broad spectrum of utility-scale and commercial solar applications.
What Comes Next for the Combined Entity
Following the deal’s closing, Array will offer APA’s engineered foundations alongside its tracking systems, streamlining construction timelines and improving system performance. APA’s fixed-tilt racking solutions, widely used across the Northeast and Midwest, will also remain available as standalone products.
APA will continue to support other tracker systems, ensuring its technology stays relevant for developers using a variety of platforms. This signals that while the acquisition is strategic, it won’t result in siloing or exclusivity — at least not yet.
