Renewable energy infrastructure supplier Create Energy is acquiring solar mounting system manufacturer SOL Components from Kloeckner Metals. Create will integrate SOL Components through its ONTRACK platform, a project design and management portal where customers can also purchase packaged solar products.

"I am immensely proud of this acquisition and delighted to introduce another powerful product and company into Create Energy's 'non-evil empire' as well as our ONTRACK solution suite," said Dean Solon, CEO of Create Energy. "We are building a unified power platform to simplify and enhance the planning, procurement, and deployment of energy projects."

SOL Components manufactures single-axis solar trackers, offering models for both single-sided and double-sided applications, as well as fixed tilt ground-mounted brackets based on rails. In 2023, SOL was acquired by Kloeckner Metals, a steel company headquartered in Roswell, Georgia.

"Create Energy is poised to become a dominant force in this year's M&A market, and we are delivering on this promise," said Joseph Fahrney, Chief Strategist at Create Energy. "In an industry focused on integration, clients choose us because they trust Dean Solon and our ability to deliver speed, certainty, unparalleled performance, and the industry's best warranties. This acquisition amplifies our momentum and solidifies Create Energy's position as a premier long-term solutions provider in the energy sector.". ”

According to the press release, Create intends to continue acquiring solar product manufacturers.
