About Us

GameChange Solar is driven by its mission to repower the planet with clean solar energy. We do our part by driving fixed tilt racking and tracker equipment costs lower. With over 30 GW sold, GameChange systems combine fast install, bankable quality and unbeatable value through superior engineering, innovative design and high volume manufacturing.

We have up to 55 Gigawatts of available production capacity for key systems. Our production lines are capable of precision automated production of quality parts in large volumes that allow per part processing costs to be minimal. They also are efficiently designed to minimize scrap loss and further reduce cost of production, which in the face of rapidly increasing steel prices is a critical consideration. Strict quality control and manufacturing process techniques typically utilized in the automotive industry are being applied by GameChange for superior quality and high capacity production.

What We Do

Inspired to leverage superior design, technology, and manufacturing innovation to lower solar energy cost, we have made a strategic decision to start GameChange Solar. We strive to lower the cost of installation without compromising solar racking strength, through innovative design that emphasizes simplicity and ease of installation.​

We got way out of the box, and looked at lowest cost standardized manufacturing processes to minimize cost of fabrication.

We started with a blank piece of paper and said, “How do we do this with the least number of parts, and make the simplest, strongest, easiest to assemble, lowest cost solar racks in the industry?” We then spent endless hours in the field working with solar installers, electricians, developers, and many experts to design our proprietary systems.
GameChange Solar ISO 9001:2015 Certification
GameChange Solar is certified and operates a Quality Management System which complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. The scope includes engineering, design, procurement and delivery of solar systems for large solar field installations.
We utilize the highest quality materials, for long term durability and to meet extreme environmental conditions, such as stainless steel, 5052 aluminum alloy, and high grade steel with enhanced galvinization coatings.

Design loads according to local building codes: ASCE 7, NBC, Eurocode, AS1170, IS875, SANS 10160, and NBR 8681

CPP Wind Tunnel Testing

At GameChange Solar our systems have integrated grounding and conform to many national and international standards including UL 2703, UL 3703 and IEC 62817. Numerous U.S. patents protect our innovative solar tracker, post ground, and ballasted systems. GameChange can provide stamped permit drawings both the racking structure as well as the post foundations.

We have also ensured that our systems have completed comprehensive wind tunnel testing as performed by CPP as well as destructive mechanical testing. Our systems are rated to 175mph wind speed and 90psf snow load.
At GameChange Solar, we make customer service a top priority. Our goal is for every customer to be extremely pleased with their experience with deliveries and our onsite field installation training services.

We realize that word of mouth is the best way to grow a business and that our superior products and unparalleled customer service are the keys to success.
GameChange Solar offers an online portal to its customers that provides full access to material delivery and construction management. The portal provides unprecedented visibility to material requirements, inventory, and delivery sequencing, and is considered the best-in-class solution for project management by GameChange Solar.

We are committed to lowering the cost of solar energy by optimizing sequencing and construction efficiency, building on optimal design and ease of assembly.

Bankability

Quality and cost of racking is not the only consideration in selecting a vendor with today's increasing labor costs. Rapid installation time, integrated grounding and wire management are critical to reducing total installed cost. GameChange has reduced both overall system cost and installation time.

“My roots as an investment fund manager have helped me understand what solar investors require: total system cost reduction while meeting the demands for bankability.”

History

Our leadership team has a history in the development and general manufacturing of solar fields.

Our Group Companies Built 10 Solar Power Plants and Learned the Solar Business.

GameChange Solar was started in 2012 to provide the most cost effective high quality and fast installing solar racking systems.

As these plants were built, we saw that PV mounting structures were overly priced, complicated and had inefficient installation processes. These also required better integrated wire management and grounding.

We have developed a high-quality engineering team, leveraged our solid skillset in solar system installation, design, and metal fabrication, and developed one of the best designed solar trackers and racking structures in the industry.

History

Investment Background in Clean‑Tech Metal Fabricators

Manufacturing

55 GW, including 35 GW of made in USA manufacturing capacity for key components.

  • Tech, production processes and quality honed and proven in USA. Then we ramped up in Asia for rest of world using the same quality guidelines. Quality inspectors at every location.
  • Standardized USA technology, design & quality control in every GameChange production facility worldwide

Proprietary TopoSmart™ Software Reduces Grading Costs
GameChange Solar provides a value added service for the Genius Tracker single axis tracker and MaxSpan fixed tilt systems to be utilizable on undulating and sloping ground conditions. The service entails an automated analysis of the tracker system layout going table by table and post by post to determine which locations are topographically challenged, and then often utilizing longer posts in valleys so the trackers can span rapid and significant undulations while minimizing or completely eliminating the need for costly grading

Expertly Detailed and Compliant Construction Drawings
We have in-house designers and engineers to provide you with stamped and sealed drawings for tracker and fixed tilt ground systems.

Geotechnical & Pull Testing Services
We can coordinate geotechnical services and/or pull testing, then analyze reports to determine the most reliable and cost effective foundation solutions for commercial and utility scale solar projects for optimized system designs.

Genius Tracker TF is the fastest installing terrain following tracker and greatly reduces grading and stabilization costs which can significantly impact job profitability.
