Engineered to follow the sun.

Built to stay out of the way.

Our patented dual-axis tracking system is designed from the ground up to maximize energy density while minimizing the ground footprint.

U.S. Patent 12,587,129 | UL 3703 Listed

Precision tracking. Industrial durability.

We engineered our Stracker systems to thrive in active commercial environments and harsh weather, backed by the longest structural warranty in the industry.

GPS-Validated Dual-Axis Tracking

Operating with 99% accuracy, each unit actively tracks the sun's exact position. This continuous tracking generates 50–70% more energy compared to the same panels in a fixed-tilt array.

Minimal Ground Disturbance

The entire 16.8 kW DC array is supported by a single 12x12" thick, 22' tall steel pole resting on a 30-inch concrete pier.

Bifacial Solar Capture

The higher ground clearance gives Stracker units an additional 12–18% energy boost. By elevating the arrays, the dual-sided panels capture direct sunlight from above, plus ambient sunlight reflected from below.

Active Weather Defense

The system is rated for 120 mph winds and 50 psf snow loads. In severe weather, the array automatically stows flat to protect against high winds, twice per day tilts steeply to shed heavy snow.

C&I Vehicle Clearance:

With a 14-foot minimum clearance at maximum downward tilt, fire engines, semi-trucks, and transit buses can easily and safely pass right underneath.

30-Year Structural Warranty

Built with heavy-gauge steel, these units are designed to operate for decades, offering an industry-leading structural warranty.

How Stracker Works

Solar Panels

Each unit uses commercially-available, bifacial (dual-sided) solar panels to collect energy from the sun and reflected energy from the ground under the panels.

Rack & Mounting

Solar panels are mounted on our rack system, securing them in place and ensuring safety during wind or harsh weather.

Dual-Axis Unit

Our patented dual-axis unit uses motors to move the solar panels to the best position to capture the sun's energy. The panels move continuously throughout the day, tracking the sun's path.

Pole

A 22' tall, 12x12" heavy steel pole supports the Stracker's head unit from the ground while keeping the panels out of the way of traffic below.

Foundation

A single 7' deep, 30" diameter steel-reinforced concrete foundation is poured on site to support the Stracker unit.

Solar & Electrical Hardware

As with any solar panel system, Stracker units use an inverter to convert the DC energy from the panels into the AC energy used by the electrical grid. The specific hardware may change depending on how the Stracker unit is deployed.

Weather Station

The weather station at the top of the unit ensures each unit will return to a safe position during high winds.

Onboard Hardware

An onboard computer uses GPS and other data to control the movement of the Stracker, keeping it in line with the sun during the day and moving the panels to a horizontal position at night and during extreme weather.

LED Lighting

Optional LED lighting under the panel turns on at night when the panel is in the horizontal (stowed) position. The LED lights provide visibility and security without adding unnecessary light pollution.

Preserving Parking Density and Traffic Flow

Traditional fixed solar carports force property owners into an operational compromise: gain energy, but sacrifice parking stalls, narrow driving aisles, and choke traffic capacity. The result is a maze of vertical steel posts that drivers can hit, restricted clearance for delivery vehicles, and added liability for site managers.

Stracker eliminates structural clutter by elevating dual-axis generation onto a single structural mast, preserving the full utility of your parking infrastructure.

Traditional Carport Grid

Requires continuous rows of vertical support columns placed directly along stall lines and driving aisles. These structural posts eliminate parking stalls, narrow transit lanes, and create tight turns that block commercial delivery trucks.

Stracker Single-Mast

Each array is supported by a single 12" x 12" steel monopole mounted to a raised 18" concrete pedestal, designed to fit inside standard landscape islands, parking dividers, or perimeter borders.

Zero Lost Stalls

Every single parking space remains open, accessible, and mostly shaded.

Unobstructed Turning Radius

Driving aisles maintain full clearance for logistics vans, semi-trucks, and snowplows without column interference.

Keeping Vehicle Clearances

14-Foot Minimum Clearance

Stracker arrays maintain a 14-foot vertical clearance above grade even when tilted to their maximum 60° downward angle.

Commercial Fleet & Emergency Access

Commercial delivery vehicles, fire engines, semi-trucks, and transit buses navigate beneath the array unhindered.

Open Sightlines & Security

Elevating the array's center pivot axis to 25 feet maintains open sightlines across the lot, preventing dark dead zones and providing wide security illumination at night

Traditional Canopy Obstructions

Standard fixed-tilt carports slope down to 9 to 12 feet at their low edge. This low clearance excludes high-profile logistics fleets, creates dark spaces, and increases vehicle-strike hazards..

Following the Sun

Conventional commercial solar was built on an old compromise: bolt panels to a roof or carport facing south, and settle for whatever sunlight happens to cross their path. We’ve use the same size panels to capture up to 70% more energy.

Capturing Sunlight from the Sky and the Ground

Bifacial panels capture sunlight directly from the sun and reflected energy from the ground below, improving overall efficiency.

The Result: 50-70% more energy from the same size panels.

A Complete Energy Platform

Add battery systems and vehicle charging for a complete solution.

EV Charging

Easily integrate Level 2 or DC Fast chargers from your preferred provider directly into the Stracker poles. Start with a few stalls and scale up seamlessly without redesigning your lot's structure.

Behind-the-Meter Storage

Pair your arrays with battery systems to keep critical facility loads running and shave expensive peak demand charges.

Lot Lighting & Shade

Integrated LED lighting on the poles provides nighttime safety, while the massive 26' x 30' arrays provide premium shade to keep vehicles and inventory cool during the day.

Modular & Relocatable

If your parking lot changes, the Stracker units can be repositioned to fit your new layout.

  • Work Sharp

    "Strackers offered us superior value for our investment. They've significantly reduced our reliance on purchased energy, often surpassing our usage with generated power, depending on weather conditions. With tax incentives factored in, we anticipate recouping the entire project cost in approximately 5 years. Additionally, the exceptional level of customer service provided by Stracker Solar was a notable differentiator."

  • Abbott's Cottages

    “I chose Strackers for my Ashland community solar project because I wanted the most efficient PV system with the highest energy output per square foot. The impressive appearance and high ground clearance of these dual-axis solar trackers made it much easier to find an installation site for the project, and I am grateful for Southern Oregon University, ScienceWorks and Stracker Solar for making it all happen. Now, 7 vacation rentals, 2 homes and an office are net zero electric thanks to the six Strackers we have installed.”
