What Zomeworks does

Zomeworks Corporation is a privately held, founder-owned manufacturer of passive solar energy hardware, incorporated in 1969 and headquartered in the United States. The company designs and builds products that operate without electricity, motors, or active controls, including Track Rack™ single-axis solar trackers that use phase-change refrigerant and gravity to follow the sun; Cool Cell® passively cooled outdoor battery and electronics enclosures that regulate temperature via an internal water reservoir and radiator lid; Universal Fixed Racks for pole-mounted PV modules; H2Vent™ passive hydrogen ventilation systems (covered by US Patents 5,660,587 and 5,603,656); and Equipment Shelters and Integrated Systems that bundle solar arrays, battery storage, and enclosures for remote sites. Supporting products include Battery Boxes, Sundog daylight redirectors, and Sunbender® skylight reflector shades, with R&D efforts in Double Play building climate structures, paraffin Wax Actuators, and a Liquid Piston Stirling Engine.

The company sells primarily through a network of 25+ authorized US dealers serving off-grid homeowners and small commercial buyers, with a direct enterprise sales channel for utilities, telecommunications carriers, oil & gas operators, and government customers (Tucson Electric Power, Public Service Co. of NM, Sacramento MUD, Sprint, CenturyLink, Verizon, Joshua Tree National Park). Pricing is hardware-sale based, with 2018 retail prices for Track Rack units ranging from $1,374 (UTR020) to $8,258 (UTRF168), and quote-based pricing for Cool Cell enclosures, fixed racks, and custom Integrated Systems. Manufacturing is in transition, having relocated from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Southwest Idaho with limited tracker production currently and full production targeted for 2026. The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed venture or private equity funding.

Products and services

• Cool Cell® Highly insulated, passively cooled outdoor battery and electronics enclosures that regulate temperature using an internal water reservoir connected to a radiator lid, recharged nightly. Protects batteries and sensitive equipment from temperature extremes without electricity, moving parts, or scheduled maintenance. Suitable for critical applications at remote sites across utilities, telecom, oil & gas, and government.
• Track Rack™ Passive single-axis solar tracker for photovoltaic modules that uses the sun's heat to move liquid refrigerant between canisters, causing gravity to rotate the rack to follow the sun throughout the day. No motors, gears, or controls required. Increases PV energy yield by 25–40% versus fixed-tilt. Includes models UTR-020, UTRK-040, and UTRF series (072, 090, 120, 168).
• Universal Fixed Racks (FX3, FX4, FX6, FXL Series) Top-of-pole-mount universal fixed solar panel racks made from modular aluminum extrusion components configured to fit specific module types and quantities. Feature sturdy wind-resistant welded steel construction with 10-year limited warranty. Modular construction enables greater economy and short lead times.
• Battery Boxes Steel battery enclosures similar to Cool Cell but without insulation and water reservoir. Feature 14-gauge galvannealed steel construction with white acrylic enamel paint and patented H2Vent hydrogen venting system. Designed for applications that don't require active temperature regulation.
• Equipment Shelters 10'x 8' outdoor electronic enclosures for housing communication equipment and battery systems. Feature 14-gauge galvannealed steel exterior walls, 4" foam insulation (R-28), passive cooling reservoirs, and south-wall hydronic-convective heating. Designed for remote telecom and utility sites.
• Integrated Systems Complete power and energy storage units combining solar arrays (fixed or tracking), battery storage, and electrical components in highway-transportable enclosures. Include passive cooling via Cool Cell technology and H2Vent hydrogen venting for remote power applications in oil & gas, environmental monitoring, and other off-grid industrial use cases.
• Sundog Solar-powered daylight redirection device that tracks the sun using the same canister technology as Track Racks, reflecting full-spectrum daylight through a window into interior spaces without electricity. Features adjustable 2-foot diameter mirror. Made to order.
• Sunbender® Skylight reflector/shade system that increases heat and light gain in winter through a curved aluminum reflector pan, and decreases heat gain in summer by acting as a shade. Adjustable seasonally for optimal performance. Available as complete unit or econo frame kit.
• H2Vent™ Hydrogen Venting System Patented passive hydrogen ventilation system for battery enclosures using natural convection principles. Available as Convection H2Vent (U.S. Patent No. 5660587) and Diffusion H2Vent (U.S. Patent No. 5603656). Eliminates explosive hydrogen gas risk without fans, sensors, or electrical components.
