Optimum Tracker

What Optimum Tracker does

Optimum Tracker is a French manufacturer of horizontal single-axis solar trackers headquartered in Meyreuil near Aix-en-Provence, founded in 2009 by brothers Yacin and Madyan De Welle. The company designs, develops, produces and commissions two hardware product lines — O-Track® (O-Track One, Two and Twin) for utility-scale ground-mounted PV plants and Agri-Track® (Agri-Track One, Two and Trees) for agrivoltaic dual-use applications — supported by Opti-Sky® Control intelligent tracking software, the Opti-Sky Sensor© and the Opti-Monitoring IoT platform. The technology stack is protected by 12 international patents and emphasizes real-time sky-brightness-based angle optimization, wireless self-powered tracker communication, and a customizable ground-coverage ratio for Agri-Track Trees (20%–50%). Trackers operate at 1000V and 1500V and are engineered for up to 27% energy yield uplift versus fixed-tilt systems, with adaptive terrain capability up to 15% slope.

The company monetizes through project-based hardware sales to solar developers, IPPs and EPCs, complemented by project engineering, installation training, commissioning and maintenance services wrapped around its tracker hardware; pricing is bespoke via a quote-based sales flow. Customer concentration is moderate, anchored by named enterprise relationships with ENGIE (via Solairedirect), Akuo, Qair, Voltalia, Boralex, Générale du Solaire and Bonatti, and a claimed 500+ engaged developers, IPPs, EPCs and asset managers across 13+ countries. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by active participation in Intersolar, RE+, GENERA and EnerGaïa, with regional offices in Dakar (Senegal) and Istanbul (Turkey) plus a US push funded by a €10M Oraxys private equity round in October 2024 at a €30M+ post-money valuation. Strategic alliances include a 2018 industrial partnership with NEXTracker (Flex) and a January 2026 cooperation agreement with Huasun Energy signed at WFES Abu Dhabi. As of 2025 the company reports over 1.3 GW of trackers in operation and 400 MW under construction globally.

Revenue model

1. Solar Tracker Hardware Sales: Optimum Tracker designs, manufactures, and sells solar tracker hardware (O-Track and Agri-Track product lines) to solar developers, IPPs, and EPCs for utility-scale and agrivoltaic solar installations. Hardware is sold as a product with associated engineering, procurement, installation training, and commissioning services. Revenue is project-based and one-time per installation.
2. Project Engineering & Consulting Services: Provides project engineering, installation training, commissioning, and maintenance services to ensure optimal system performance throughout the project lifecycle. Opti-Monitoring software provides ongoing remote monitoring and support, potentially enabling recurring service revenue.
3. Technology Licensing (Patents): Optimum Tracker holds 12 international patents covering tracker technology, algorithms, and systems. While not a primary revenue stream, the patent portfolio supports product differentiation and may enable licensing arrangements.

Core offering

Optimum Tracker designs, manufactures, and sells single-axis solar tracker hardware for utility-scale photovoltaic and agrivoltaic installations, organized in two product families: O-Track® (One, Two, Twin) for standard utility-scale solar farms and Agri-Track® (One, Two, Trees) for dual-use agrivoltaic projects. Hardware is paired with proprietary Opti-Sky® Control intelligent tracking software, Opti-Sky Sensor© hardware, and Opti-Monitoring IoT-based remote monitoring. The company also delivers engineering, installation training, commissioning, and maintenance services across the full project lifecycle.

Product overview

Optimum Tracker offers a unified product portfolio centered on two proprietary solar tracking system lines: O-Track® for utility-scale solar farms (including O-Track® One, O-Track® Two, and O-Track® Twin variants) and Agri-Track® for agrivoltaic applications (including Agri-Track® One, Agri-Track® Two, and Agri-Track® Trees variants). These hardware platforms are complemented by enabling technologies: Opti-Sky® Control for real-time intelligent tracking optimization, Opti-Monitoring for remote performance monitoring, and the Opti-Sky Sensor© for diffuse light optimization. The company also provides comprehensive services spanning product design, project engineering, procurement and quality assurance, installation training, commissioning, and maintenance — covering the full lifecycle from conception through ongoing operations.
