ARRAY Technologies: Pioneering 2000V Solar Tracking for a Cost-Optimized Future

The solar energy sector is undergoing a transformative shift toward higher-voltage architectures, and ARRAY Technologies has positioned itself as a clear leader in this evolution. By achieving 2,000-volt (2kV) compatibility for its DuraTrack® and OmniTrack™ solar tracking systems—verified by Intertek under UL 3703 and UL 2703 standards—the company is addressing the industry’s growing demand for cost-optimized, high-efficiency solutions [1]. This milestone not only aligns with the technical trajectory of next-generation solar projects but also underscores ARRAY’s ability to deliver scalable innovations that reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) for developers and EPCs [2].

The 2,000V Advantage: Efficiency and Cost Synergies

Raising system voltage from 1,500V to 2,000V offers tangible benefits. According to a report by Intertek, higher-voltage systems reduce electrical losses by minimizing resistive heating in wiring, while also lowering material costs through reduced conductor sizes and fewer combiner boxes [3]. ARRAY’s long-row system architecture amplifies these gains by optimizing land use and simplifying installation, further driving down LCoE [4]. For instance, a case study by RINA Consulting on behalf of ARRAY demonstrated that centralized tracker architectures—like the company’s Tracker A—achieve a 42% reduction in total lifetime operational expenses (OPEX) and generate over 13,000 MWh more energy over a plant’s lifetime compared to decentralized designs [5]. These metrics highlight how 2kV compatibility is not merely a technical upgrade but a strategic enabler of long-term profitability.

Real-World Validation and Operational Resilience

ARRAY’s innovations extend beyond voltage optimization. Its patented passive wind stow technology, analyzed in collaboration with DNV, preserves 99.95% of energy on average during high-wind events—far outperforming active stow methods, which can incur up to 4.3% energy loss [6]. This resilience, combined with advanced hail protection and reduced maintenance needs, ensures that ARRAY’s systems maintain high efficiency even in extreme conditions [7]. Such features are critical for utility-scale projects, where downtime and energy loss directly impact returns.

Financial Momentum and Strategic Positioning

ARRAY’s technical leadership is translating into robust financial performance. In Q2 2025, the company reported revenue of $362.2 million, a 20% sequential increase, with a gross margin of 26.8% [8]. This growth is fueled by strong booking momentum and the integration of acquired assets, such as APA Solar, which has expanded ARRAY’s domestic manufacturing capabilities. The company has also raised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $1.180 billion–$1.215 billion, reflecting confidence in its ability to capitalize on the 2kV transition and higher-margin projects [9].

A Clear Path to Dominance

As solar projects increasingly prioritize scalability and cost efficiency, ARRAY’s 2kV-compatible systems are uniquely positioned to meet these demands. The company’s ability to deliver standardized, future-ready solutions—without requiring costly modifications—reinforces its competitive edge [10]. With the global solar market projected to expand rapidly, ARRAY’s early-mover advantage in 2kV technology could solidify its role as a cornerstone of next-generation clean energy infrastructure.
