ABOUT APA

APA Solar is a leading provider of solar racking and foundation solutions for commercial and utility-scale fixed-tilt and tracker interface projects. APA designs, engineers, and manufactures its products in-house—delivering unmatched quality, consistency, and performance across a wide range of site conditions.

As a vertically integrated manufacturer, APA leverages over 15 years of advanced racking engineering experience to bring durable, cost-effective solar solutions to market. Our focus on simplicity, cost-efficiency, and speed of installation allows us to offer some of the most competitive systems in the solar industry, including our proprietary alternative tracker foundation technologies.

APA’s rigorous quality assurance program helps ensure every system meets the highest standards. Backed by a dedicated team with deep experience in R&D, production, and installation services, APA continuously evolves its fixed-tilt and tracker-compatible offerings to reduce hardware and labor costs—without compromising reliability.

In Q3 2025, APA Solar became part of ARRAY through a strategic acquisition that reinforces ARRAY’s leadership in renewable energy infrastructure. This acquisition expands ARRAY’s product offerings nad enhances our ability to meet the evolving needs of the solar industry and our customers. 

What sets APA apart is our team-first approach. We partner closely with developers, contractors, and EPCs to optimize project execution, from early-stage design through final installation. Our mission is simple: to deliver the most dependable and cost-effective solar racking systems for every utility-scale ground mount site.

In Wells, Maine, APA Solar Racking deployed its innovative Geoballast solar mounting system—ideal for coastal environments and sensitive terrains. This non-penetrative solution utilizes heavy ballast foundations to secure fixed-tilt arrays without disturbing underlying soils or bedrock, making it perfect for the region’s rocky coastlines and environmental restrictions. The system is built with U.S.-manufactured galvanized steel components, ensuring structural resilience in high-wind and salt-air conditions while supporting rapid, tool-free installation. Wells showcases APA’s leadership in delivering landfill solar racking, coastal solar foundations, and other innovative solar mounting systems perfectly suited to challenging landscapes across New England.
