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 and 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.
