With 350 years of combined power sector experience, our leadership team has challenged the status-quo while building a culture of innovation in the solar industry. We pioneered what we believe to be today’s leading generation of tracker solutions, including many “industry-first” innovations, such as self-powering and self-grounding capabilities, and associated software offerings.
