The distribution partnership will boost Stracker Solar’s national expansion efforts and bring a state-of-the-art elevated solar power solution to AFC Solar’s clients east of the Rocky Mountains in the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast regions. AFC Solar will market and install Stracker dual-axis solar trackers for clients in the commercial, industrial and community solar sectors.

AFC Solar was founded in 2017 and their product line includes steel solar carport and rooftop mounting systems, with high-profile installations in Colorado, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, and Texas. AFC Solar has fabricated and/or installed over 50MW of canopies since 2017.

“We are elated to have AFC Solar as a Distribution Partner,” said Stracker Solar CEO Allen Gilstrap. “They are innovative, have strong leadership and share our vision of providing new and high-performance solar solutions to our clients.”

“We believe that the partnership with Stracker Solar will bring mutual benefits for both companies,” said Zach Ward, VP/Managing Partner at AFC Solar. “There’s a great market potential for elevated dual-axis solar trackers that are attractive and fit many environments. We are excited to be a first EPC to offer such cutting-edge solar power system for our clients.”

Cole Morgan, President of Americase Fabrication and Construction and AFC Solar added, “Stracker elevated dual-axis solar trackers have several advantages that make them a perfect addition to AFC Solar’s product portfolio – where traditional fixed tilt carport structures may not be efficient or feasible, and where owners may want eye-catching curb appeal in addition to their traditional canopies. We look forward to working closely with the Stracker Team.”

Together with Stracker Solar, AFC Solar will work to partner with businesses, organizations, municipalities, and energy co-ops to bring clean, reliable solar energy to regions of the United States that are at the forefront of a just and climate-aware energy transition.

Stracker Solar has been manufacturing, selling and installing state-of-the-art elevated dual-axis solar trackers since 2017. Stracker solar trackers are robust yet elegant, high-efficiency solar power systems, generating up to 70% more solar energy each year than same-sized rooftop, carport, or fixed ground-mount systems. This efficiency translates to a 55%-65% lower carbon footprint as well. Stracker’s 20' single-pole mounting allows continued use of the grounds below, which makes the system ideally suited for parking lots, agricultural operations, school yards, community solar projects and more.
