In its own words
What could break it.
Commodity & input dependence
- Steel and extruded aluminum are the primary materials of solar trackers — clamps, U-joints and bearing housings use extruded aluminum; torque tubes/structures use steelmedium
Array's utility-scale solar trackers are metals-intensive: structural torque tubes and supports are steel, and certain components — clamps, U-joints and bearing housings — are made using extruded aluminum. Prices and availability of steel and aluminum are therefore core cost drivers, and are amplified by trade actions (see the parallel tariff/AD-CVD risk). A steel/aluminum spike would compress margins on fixed-price tracker contracts. A specific steel-and-aluminum commodity dependence.
“Certain components in our trackers, including certain clamps, U-joints, and bearing housings are made using extruded aluminum.”
Regulatory & policy
- Extensive realized tariff/AD-CVD regime — steel & aluminum tariffs raised to 50%, 20-35% on Canada/Mexico/China, AD/CVD on aluminum extrusions (its components) and >250% AD/CVD on Chinese solar modules; tariff uncertainty slows projectsmedium
Array faces a dense, realized trade-policy regime hitting both its inputs and its customers' project economics. In 2025 the U.S. imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian/Mexican goods (China 10%→20%), raised steel and aluminum tariffs from 25% to 50%, increased the Canada ad valorem rate to 35%, and threatened a 30% Mexico rate. AD/CVD orders on Chinese solar modules can exceed 250% of value, and a pending AD/CVD case on aluminum extrusions from fifteen countries directly affects the extruded-aluminum components (clamps, U-joints, bearing housings) used in Array's trackers. The company also notes that mere tariff threats create customer uncertainty that slows existing projects and orderbook conversion. A material, realized, multi-front trade-policy exposure on a steel/aluminum-intensive solar product.
“On June 4, 2025 tariffs on steel and aluminum increased from 25% to 50% on all steel and aluminum coming from Canada.”
