Solar Trackers
OMCO Origin Factory-Direct Trackers maximize energy output through single-axis tracking technology. Designed for rapid installation with preassembled components, these systems reduce labor costs by 60% while accommodating bifacial modules and First Solar Series 7 panels. The patented bearing system adjusts six ways to compensate for terrain irregularities, ensuring seamless deployment across 40-year lifespan-tested installations.
Fixed Tilt Mounting Systems
OMCO Choice Fixed Tilt solutions combine preassembled components with slotted connection points for field adjustments. Engineered to withstand 180 mph winds and 90 psf snow loads, these systems utilize 100% US steel and galvanized hardware. The modular design reduces bill-of-materials items by 30% while maintaining compatibility with all framed solar modules through proprietary tilt-bracket sub-assemblies.
Foundation Solutions
OMCO Foundations provide terrain-adaptive support through C-Pile and ground screw technologies. Our roll-formed steel piles offer 2x buckling resistance, while ground screws eliminate pile refusal in challenging soils. Both solutions integrate with solar mounting systems for rapid installation, achieving 30 foundations per hour with 15% terrain articulation capacity and 20-year corrosion protection.
