ARRAY Announces 60-Degree Solar Tracker Alternative to Enhance Extreme Weather Resilience, Project Economics

Introduced at ARRAY’s third annual Insurance Forum, the new solution focuses on cost effective risk mitigation for customers

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)ARRAY Technologies (NASDAQ:ARRY) (“ARRAY” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of solar tracking technology and fixed-tilt products, foundation solutions, software systems and services, today announced a new 60-degree variant of its trusted ARRAY DuraTrack® platform. Designed to effectively mitigate hail risk while reducing capital expenditures, the new solar tracker builds on the exceptional hail alert response and patented passive wind stow reliability of the DuraTrack platform and further strengthens the breadth of ARRAY’s portfolio of tracker solutions.

As developers and insurers seek practical ways to balance project economics with extreme weather resilience, demand is growing for tracking solutions that effectively mitigate hail risk without significantly increasing capital costs. ARRAY is addressing this need with the 60-degree DuraTrack variant, developed with input and feedback from customers and insurance stakeholders.

Combining a 60-degree stow angle with ARRAY SmarTrack® software suite, including Hail Alert Response technology, this system delivers an effective balance of cost, risk mitigation, and performance for projects in moderate hail risk regions. The 60-degree variant also carries forward the wired AC motor and wired communications architecture which dramatically differentiates the reliability of the DuraTrack product line and provides maximum dependability when hail approaches compared to systems relying on batteries and wireless communications. The new 60-degree variant also includes ARRAY Wind XP™ patented passive wind stow technology which minimizes unnecessary stow and sensor failure risk through ARRAY’s trusted mechanical stow solution.

This announcement comes as insurance leaders from 25+ companies convene for ARRAY’s third annual Insurance Forum in Boston, Massachusetts, which delves into ARRAY’s capabilities for mitigating the effects of severe weather and the tracker industry’s essential role in reducing risk in the solar market.

“ARRAY is proud to offer trusted technology that mitigates the realities of severe weather demands while maximizing energy generating potential,” said Nick Strevel, Chief Product Officer at ARRAY. “Adding a 60-degree tracker expands our existing portfolio to give our customers more options for resilient and reliable solutions in hail-prone regions, including Texas and the Great Plains.

Key Features and Availability

  • Leading Hail Resiliency: Designed to mitigate hail risk effectively, including through its compatibility with ARRAY’s Hail Alert Response software with 99%+ reliable stow execution rate.
  • Lower Capital Expenditure: Reduces tracker and foundation costs compared to higher-angle trackers.
  • Increased Reliability: Delivers more dependable stow behavior in adverse conditions through an AC grid-powered motor and wired communications compared to systems relying on battery power and wireless communications, which can be disrupted by extreme weather.
  • Fewer Energy Losses: Reduces production losses by protecting only the rows that need it via ARRAY’s patented and DNV-validated WindXP passive stow technology, shown to offer an energy yield benefit of up to 4%
  • Availability: Available to quote in 2026, with deliveries expected in mid-2027.
