Factory-Direct Trackers
OMCO Origin Factory-Direct Trackers are designed for quick, easy and safe installation, and fewer trackers per MW. That means fewer controllers and motors per MW, which means lower tracker cost, lower commissioning cost, and lower operations and maintenance costs.
We offer full-scale support, including geotechnical, structural, installation and commissioning.
Our design is rooted in more than 10.5 GW of solar experience. With decades of strong financial performance and intellectual property related to bearings, module mount designs, and bifacial trackers, OMCO Solar is solid and bankable.
FOUNDATION SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY TERRAIN
- OMCO Solar C piles — low cost, short lead time, made in the USA
- OMCO Solar ground screw assemblies
- Sourced W or I piles
