GameChange Solar supports more than 2,500 U.S. jobs through its solar tracker manufacturing and development, the company said.
NORWALK, Conn.—Last summer, solar tracker supplier GameChange Solar reported that its Genius Tracker™ would meet the maximum value of domestic content for solar trackers by the fourth quarter of 2025. GameChange Solar is a global supplier of solar tracking systems for ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) plants.
“Building on the company’s current qualifying components, our current ‘Made in the USA’ supply chain already supports torque tubes, foundations, controllers, multiple structural fasteners, and rails,” the company stated in a release. “GameChange will add U.S.-made drive systems, dampers, motors, and fasteners to the list of qualifying manufactured product components for Genius Tracker in 2025.”
GameChange describes itself as a leader in domestic manufacturing, having produced in the U.S. since 2012. The company reported earlier this year that it had expanded its U.S. domestic production to 35 GW of annual capacity. As a minimum standard for customers, its U.S.-produced solar tracker content is currently 70 percent, with over 80 percent available today upon request, the company said.
“GameChange has listened to our customers and is committed to increasing the percentage of domestically manufactured components to help ensure our customers qualify for the IRA 10 percent bonus for their projects,” said Phil Vyhanek, president of GameChange Solar, in the release. “The IRA has been a great catalyst for the growth of our domestic manufacturing and, in turn, the jobs that it creates. Between our internal and direct supply chain employment, we are very proud to support over 2,500 U.S. jobs in the solar industry.”
GameChange Solar provides solar tracker systems used in utility-scale and ground-mounted distributed generation solar projects around the world. Its products enable solar panels at power plants to follow the sun’s movement across the sky and optimize plant performance while also protecting the array from damaging weather conditions, the company said.
