OMCO Solar, a leading U.S. manufacturer of factory-direct solar trackers and fixed-tilt racking, has announced a strategic partnership with Create Energy. The partnership brings together two major American solar manufacturers to deliver innovative solar trackers for existing and upcoming product lines.
OMCO and Create Energy Partner Ahead of RE+ Conference
The announcement from Gary Schuster, CEO of OMCO Solar, and Dean Solon, president and CEO of Create Energy, came just before the RE+ conference in Anaheim, California. At the global clean energy event, OMCO—known for its 69 years of expertise in American steel manufacturing—will showcase the OMCO Origin™ Tracker and ReCreate’s Discovery Series Modules at its booth.
“This represents the next chapter in the American-made solar story. OMCO is honoured to partner with Create Energy to deliver world-class domestic manufacturing at a massive scale. As the U.S. market leader in fixed-tilt racking, with our superior Origin™ Tracker and the shortest lead times in the industry, what we’re announcing today is just the beginning,” said Gary Schuster, CEO of OMCO Solar.
A Closer Look at Partner Create Energy
Founded by Solon and based in Portland, Tennessee, Create Energy provides a full spectrum of solutions through a unified ecosystem. This integrated approach allows customers to source all necessary components from a single provider, streamlining project scaling. Create Energy’s extensive product range includes transformers, switchgear, PV modules, trackers, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
In June, Solon and Hamlet Tunyan, CEO of RECOM Technologies, launched ReCreate, a cutting-edge facility expected to produce up to 5GW of modules and cells for the North American and EU markets.
“I’ve been friends with OMCO and their leadership team since 2005. This partnership highlights two industry veterans coming together to redefine the connection between modules and trackers, and ultimately, the entire solar field. It’s another addition to Create Energy’s extensive product suite—whether you’re looking for a full solution, just specific components, or something in between,” said Solon.
“Our longstanding relationship with Dean and his team has reached the perfect moment to elevate American solar manufacturing to new heights,” added Eric Goodwin, OMCO Vice President of Business Development.
