Establishes Array as Global Leader in Solar Trackers with Leading Positions in North America, Latin America and Europe

Array Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) ("Array" or "the Company"), a leading provider of tracker solutions and services for utility-scale solar energy projects, today announced it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L. ("STI Norland"), one of Europe's leading manufacturers of solar trackers. The transaction creates the largest solar tracker company in the world with manufacturing capacity and design and engineering resources on three continents, and establishes Array as a leader in the rapidly growing Brazilian solar market.


"The integration of STI Norland into Array's business positions us to accelerate our international expansion and address rising demand for utility-scale solar around the world," said Brad Forth, Chairman of Array. "It will allow us to continue to solidify our relationships with key international customers and create access to a lower cost, proven product. The closing of this transaction marks an exciting milestone in Array's history and supports our mission to deliver value to our customers through innovation in everything we do."

The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Pamplona, Spain with manufacturing facilities in both Spain and Brazil. Its dual-row tracker system is well-suited to irregular terrain and regions with low wind and/or snow load requirements. With more than 12 gigawatts of trackers shipped or awarded, STI Norland is a top three manufacturer in Spain and holds the number one market position in Brazil.

"We are thrilled to officially join Array—a solar pioneer—as we focus on providing our customers with industry-leading technology and superior service," said Javier Reclusa, CEO of STI Norland.
