What MECASOLAR does

MECASOLAR (legal name MECANIZADOS SOLARES SL) is a Spanish privately held industrial company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Tres Cantos, Madrid. It designs, engineers, manufactures, and supplies solar mounting infrastructure — primarily the SUN RIDER© single-axis solar tracker and the MECAFIX© fixed structure — for utility-scale photovoltaic installations. The company's core technical proposition is a COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) component architecture: rather than relying on proprietary patented parts, SUN RIDER© and MECAFIX© use commercially available components and standard installation tools, which the company positions as a way to lower lifecycle cost, reduce spare-parts dependency, and accelerate field installation. Mechanical designs are validated through US-based wind tunnel studies and structural analysis using ANSYS AIM, SAP2000, TRICALC, and CATIA; the SUN RIDER© product supports slopes up to 16% N-S and includes an intelligent wind defense system, while MECAFIX© supports slopes up to 15% E-W and is compatible with mono- and bifacial panels of any size.

The company sells primarily to utility-scale solar developers, EPC firms, and solar farm operators through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with project-based pricing determined by custom engineering quotes rather than published price lists. Revenue is generated from two streams: hardware sales of trackers and fixed structures, and professional services covering design, supply chain management, assembly, mounting supervision, start-up, and after-sales support. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, CERE, TÜV, and IEC certifications, and claims operations in over 15 countries with 1.5 GW+ of installed capacity since founding. Recent strategic moves include a June 2024 commercial partnership with JinkoSolar targeting Southeast Asia utility-scale projects and a 2025 expansion into Central America via a 6.9 MW project in Nicaragua. The leadership team comprises Chairman Mark Randall and CEO Alexandros Giannis.

Core offering

MECASOLAR designs, engineers, manufactures, and distributes solar tracking systems and fixed mounting structures for utility-scale photovoltaic installations. The portfolio is built around two proprietary products — the SUN RIDER© single-axis solar tracker and the MECAFIX© fixed structure — both built with COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) components to minimize lifecycle cost and maximize reliability. The company complements its hardware with full project lifecycle services: structural design, wind tunnel validation, supply chain management, on-site assembly supervision, start-up, and after-sales support.

Product overview

MECASOLAR offers a portfolio of solar mounting solutions consisting of two core products: the SUN RIDER© single-axis solar tracker and the MECAFIX© fixed structure, both backed by integrated project services. The SUN RIDER© tracker represents 15 years of development and provides intelligent solar tracking with wind defense capabilities, while the MECAFIX© fixed structure delivers simplified, adaptable mounting for varied terrain. Combined with design, supply, assembly, supervision, start-up, and after-sales services, the company provides comprehensive solutions for photovoltaic solar module installations using COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) components to minimize lifecycle costs.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Soltec: Soltec is a Spanish-headquartered manufacturer of single-axis solar trackers and PV racking for utility-scale projects. It is MECASOLAR's closest direct competitor, sharing Iberian origin, similar product architecture, and overlapping geographies in LATAM and EMEA.
• STI Norland: STI Norland is a Spanish-origin solar tracker manufacturer with a strong global footprint and high GW shipped. It directly competes with MECASOLAR in single-axis trackers and EPC supply, with deeper regional manufacturing (e.g., Brazil) that puts pricing pressure on Iberian exporters.
• PV Hardware (PVH): PV Hardware is a Spain-based manufacturer of single-axis solar trackers and fixed structures serving utility-scale projects across LATAM, the Middle East, and other emerging markets. It competes head-to-head with MECASOLAR in product portfolio, customer base, and Sunbelt geographies.

Broad incumbents

• TrinaTracker: TrinaTracker is the tracker arm of Trina Solar, one of the world's largest module manufacturers. It competes with MECASOLAR in single-axis trackers, and through Trina also aligns with the JinkoSolar–MECASOLAR partnership dynamic as a rival module+tracker bundle.
• Nextracker: Nextracker is a leading global single-axis solar tracker provider and a key competitor in utility-scale PV. As a broad incumbent with software-integrated tracking, it competes against MECASOLAR's simpler COTS-based architecture on larger tenders.
• Array Technologies: Array Technologies is one of the largest U.S. utility-scale tracker manufacturers. It is a broader incumbent in the same solar tracking category as MECASOLAR, with substantially greater scale, manufacturing footprint, and balance sheet — setting the competitive ceiling MECASOLAR must beat on cost or differentiated specification.

Emerging players

• Convert Technology: Convert is a Spain-based manufacturer of solar trackers and fixed structures for utility-scale projects. As a smaller Iberian direct peer, it competes with MECASOLAR for regional EPC and developer accounts.
• GameChange Solar: GameChange Solar is a U.S. manufacturer of fixed-tilt and tracker mounting systems for utility-scale solar. It targets similar utility-scale developers/EPCs as MECASOLAR with comparable BOS products, including fixed structures and trackers.
