Item 1. Business

Overview

We are a leading global provider of solar tracking technology and fixed-tilt systems to utility-scale and distributed generation customers who construct, develop, and operate solar photovoltaic (“PV”) sites. With solutions engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, Array’s high-quality solar trackers, fixed-tilt systems, software platforms, foundation solutions, and field services combine to optimize energy production and deliver value to our customers for the entire lifecycle of a project.

Our principal products are a portfolio of integrated solar tracking systems comprised of software and hardware that include, for example, component parts such as steel tubing, steel supports, drivelines, center structures, electric motors, motor controller assemblies, bearing assemblies, gearboxes and electronic controllers commonly referred to as a single-axis “tracker.” Trackers move solar panels throughout the day to maintain an optimal orientation to the sun, which significantly increases their energy production. Solar energy projects that use trackers typically generate more energy and deliver a lower Levelized Cost of Energy (“LCOE”) than projects that use “fixed tilt” mounting systems, which are stationary. The vast majority of ground mounted solar systems in the U.S. use trackers; however, there are certain situations where fixed-tilt solutions are preferred.

Our flagship tracker uses a patented design that allows one motor to drive multiple rows of solar panels through articulated driveline joints, which typically leads to lower assembly costs and lower ongoing operating and maintenance costs. To avoid infringing on our U.S. patent, our competitors must use designs that we believe are inherently less efficient and reliable. For example, some of our competitors’ designs require one motor for each row of solar panels. As a result, we believe our products have greater reliability, lower installation costs, reduced maintenance requirements and competitive manufacturing costs. Our core U.S. patent on a linked-row, rotating gear drive system does not expire until February 5, 2030.

With our acquisition of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L.U., a Spanish private limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “STI”) in January 2022, we added a dual-row tracker design to our product portfolio. The Array STI H250 tracker uses one motor to drive two connected rows and is ideally suited for sites with irregular and highly angled boundaries or fragmented project areas. To offer a comprehensive set of solutions to the growing market, in September 2022, we also introduced a third tracker product, OmniTrack, which requires significantly less grading and civil works permitting prior to installation and accommodates uneven terrain. This suite of products extends our target applications and ability to deliver what we believe are the best utility-scale solar tracker solutions to the market.

APA Acquisition

On August 14, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), our wholly owned subsidiary STINorland USA, Inc., a California corporation (“Buyer”), completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of APA (the “APA Acquisition”), pursuant to the terms of the equity purchase agreement, dated as of June 17, 2025 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Buyer, APA, SunHoldings, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Seller”), and the guarantors party thereto. The total purchase consideration for the APA Acquisition totaled approximately $185.4 million.

APA designs, engineers, and manufactures solar racking, mounting and foundation systems. Integrating such systems into our business model through the acquisition of APA expands our product portfolio to better serve the evolving needs of the solar industry and our customers.

Industry Overview

Solar energy has emerged as one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy and represents one of the most attractive long-term investment opportunities within the global energy transition. Global energy demand is rising as transportation, heating, and industrial processes continue to electrify, while digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven data center expansion further increase power consumption. Solar is positioned to capture a significant share of incremental generation capacity due to its scalability, speed to deploy, and broad geographic applicability. In many regions, solar is one of the lowest-cost sources of new energy generation, making it economically attractive even without policy incentives. This cost advantage continues to drive widespread adoption across distributed generation and utility-scale markets. Despite strong growth in recent years, solar still represents a relatively modest portion of global power generation, providing meaningful runway for continued expansion.

Sales

Our Customers

We sell our products to solar developers, independent power producers, utilities, and EPCs that build solar energy projects, often under master supply agreements or multi-year procurement contracts. Although sales to a single customer may occasionally be greater than 10%, they generally represent multiple projects, each independently financed, for many different end customers who often directly influence or make the decision to use our solar tracking systems.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we derived 81% and 19% of our revenues from customers in the U.S. and the rest of the world, respectively. From the founding of Array through December 31, 2025, we had shipped more than 96 gigawatts of trackers to customers worldwide.

Our Offerings

Tracker Systems

Large-scale solar energy projects are typically laid out in successive “rows” that form a “block.” A solar array can have dozens of rows with more than 100 solar panels in each row. With a single-axis tracker system, motors and gears cause each row of solar panels to rotate along their north-south axis to continually align the row with the sun throughout the day. Different tracker manufacturers use different approaches to rotate the panels in a row. We have a variety of tracker systems that, depending on the project site characteristics, offer customers a differentiated set of benefits.

DuraTrack® HZ v3

Our flagship product is the DuraTrack® HZ v3 tracker system (“DuraTrack®”), which we launched in May 2015. DuraTrack® is our third-generation single-axis tracker and includes unique patented features such as a patented single-bolt per module mounting system that reduces installation time, a passive wind load mitigation system and a low number of motors and controls per megawatt (“MW”).

Array STI H250

The Array STI H250 tracker system is designed to deliver a favorable LCOE with a robust, dual-row tracker system. The design enables one motor to move up to 120 PV modules making this an efficient utility-scale solar tracking system ideally suited for sites with irregular boundaries, highly angled blocks, or fragmented project areas. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company approved a plan to phase out a version of the

2

H250 product that was not compatible with SmarTrack® in order to focus on a SmarTrack®-compatible version introduced in 2024.

Array OmniTrack

The Array OmniTrack tracker system (“OmniTrack”) delivers all the benefits of our flagship product DuraTrack® — high reliability, durability and performance — with the added benefits of enhanced north/south terrain flexibility and minimized grading. OmniTrack’s flexible design allows for installation on unlevel site terrain, accommodating a greater slope and requiring significantly less grading and civil works, which reduces project costs and improves installation timelines for our customers.

Array SkyLink

The Array SkyLink tracker system (“SkyLink”) features a PV-powered control system that operates independently from the grid. This ensures that solar trackers can still stow during hail or snow accumulation, as detected by Array SmarTrack® Automated Snow Response software and Array SmarTrack® Automated Hail Alert Response software. Additionally, its passive wind stow technology protects solar installations without relying on battery power in low temperatures. SkyLink’s wireless technology reduces the need for wiring and eliminates the need for trenching, which reduces project costs and improves installation timelines for our customers.

Array SmarTrack® Software

Array SmarTrack® is our range of software and control-based products designed to optimize energy production and mitigate the risk of extreme weather events for utility-scale solar sites. Array SmarTrack® Diffuse Weather Response software uses real-time weather data it continuously receives from an on-site global horizontal irradiance sensor to optimize energy capture during cloudy or overcast sky conditions, while Array SmarTrack® Terrain Adaptive Backtracking software adjusts tracker angles to optimize energy production and reduce row-to-row shading during periods of low sun height and on sites with sloping terrain. Array SmarTrack® Automated Hail Alert Response software utilizes reliable third-party weather data, in combination with unique patented algorithms, to identify the optimal position for a solar array in real time to protect the solar investment from the unpredictability of hailstorms and mitigate risk of hail damage to the system. Array SmarTrack® Automated Snow Response incorporates ultrasonic snow sensors to rotate trackers to their maximum stow position to allow snow to slide off the face of the PV modules. This helps to prevent snow accumulation and reduces the effective snow load on the system. Equipped with the Array SmarTrack® controller, the system is designed to adapt to unique site terrain and weather conditions, improving project yield and reducing risks in extreme weather, while simplifying operations and maintenance (“O&M”) practices.

Foundation Solutions

As a result of the APA Acquisition, we strengthened our product portfolio by introducing Array APA Foundation Solutions, a comprehensive range of solar foundation systems designed to support utility-scale solar projects across diverse and challenging soil conditions. This offering includes advanced foundation technologies such as ground screws for rocky soils, helicals for soft soils, c-piles for ideal soils, and ballast for impenetrable soils. Array APA Foundation Solutions not only enhances installation efficiency and reduces overall project costs but also improves long-term reliability and reduces environmental impact.

Racking Solutions

Our racking product portfolio provides solutions for both the fixed‑tilt and tracker markets, with a focus on utility-scale projects. These systems are engineered to perform across a wide range of site conditions. With modular designs engineered for durability, constructability, and compatibility across various project

Sales and Marketing Strategy

Our sales and marketing strategy is to educate significant influencers and stakeholders involved in building, owning and maintaining a solar energy project on the merits of our products generally and their low lifetime cost of ownership specifically. With the objective of making our products the preferred tracker systems globally, we educate customers and influencers through a combination of direct sales efforts; commissioning independent, third-party studies; hosting training seminars; and sponsoring industry conferences and events.

We take a “360-degree” approach to selling, working with solar developers, independent power producers, utilities, and EPCs in each of the countries where we operate. Our products are actively sold in the United States (“U.S.”), across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Training and Customer Support

We offer our customers engineering expertise to design and deliver the optimal solution for each unique project, including installation training services and dedicated project management to provide comprehensive technical support.

We offer a wide variety of training and support designed to ensure an efficient build process for our tracker system, including hands-on and video-supported instruction and documentation. We support all of our customers with design consulting throughout the sales process. Our technical support organization includes applications, geotechnical, and civil engineering expertise in each region where we operate. To support projects around the globe, we have resources available to work on solutions 24/7. We manage open issues via our customer relationship management system in order to monitor service, track closure of all customer issues and further improve our customer service in every region in which we sell our products.

Customer service and satisfaction are a key focus for us and contribute to our success. We have field service engineers located in geographies where we are active, to support our customers with the commissioning of large projects, introduction of new technologies and features, and on-the-job training for new installers.

Competition

Trackers are highly specialized products that are specific to the solar industry. The unique expertise required to design trackers, and customers’ reluctance to try unproven products, have confined the number of firms that produce trackers to a relatively small group. Our principal tracker competitors include Nextpower Inc. (f/k/a Nextracker, Inc.), PV Hardware and GameChange Solar. We also compete with manufacturers of fixed-tilt mounting systems and engineered foundations, including UNIRAC, Inc. and Terrasmart (f/k/a RBI Solar Inc.), a subsidiary of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. We compete based on product performance and features, total cost of ownership (usually measured by LCOE), reliability and duration of product warranty, sales and distribution capabilities and training and customer support.

Resources

Manufacturing

In the U.S., we operate an approximately 283,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our manufacturing process is designed to meet four objectives: (i) limit capital intensive and low value-added activities that can be outsourced to other companies; (ii) minimize labor content where possible; (iii) minimize the amount of assembly our customers will be required to do at the site; and (iv) minimize material movement both from vendors to us and inside our factory. In connection with the APA Acquisition, the Company has lease agreements for offices, manufacturing facilities and warehouses located in Ohio and Connecticut. Of these lease agreements, five are with related parties owned by certain members of APA’s management team.

5

In May 2024, we entered into a triple-net lease for a new manufacturing and office facility located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, which includes approximately 176,000 square feet of manufacturing space and approximately 40,000 square feet of office and laboratory space. We took control of the facility in the fourth quarter of 2025 and construction is expected to be completed in March 2026. We expect to commence production at the facility in the first half of 2026.

Internationally, with our STI Operations reporting segment, we have approximately 67,000 and 610,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Spain and Brazil, respectively. These locations support manufacturing and assembly of component parts for both local and international markets.

We produce and/or assemble module clamps, center structures, and motor controller assemblies at our Albuquerque facility. We have entered into outsourcing contracts for steel tubing, steel supports, drivelines, bearing assemblies, gearboxes, electric motors and electronic controllers that ship directly from our suppliers to job sites or designated warehouses. By using vendors, we are able to drop-ship products directly to our customers’ sites, which improves working capital turnover, quality and inventory management.

While we have historically maintained certain levels of supplies and inventories manufactured by outside vendors, we have the capability to manufacture internally some of these products at our principal manufacturing facility located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Additionally, we have identified certain alternative vendors for efficiency and redundancy purposes.

We believe our Array Legacy Operations (as defined below) segment’s status as a U.S.-based company with domestic manufacturing reduces the potential impact of U.S. government tariffs or other U.S. government regulatory actions taken against, products manufactured in foreign countries and imported into the U.S.

Research and Development

We devote resources to research and development (“R&D”) with the objective of developing innovative new products and services that enhance system performance, improve product reliability, reduce product cost and simplify installation. Our development strategy is to identify features that bring value to our customers and differentiate us from our competitors. We strive to address customer pain points and needs. We measure the effectiveness of our R&D using a number of metrics, beginning with a market requirements definition, which includes a program budget, financial payback, resource requirements, and time required to launch the new product, system, or service into the market. We employ a stringent engineering phase gate review process that ensures all R&D programs meet their stated objectives from inception to deployment.

We have a strong R&D team with significant experience in solar energy as well as expertise in mechanical engineering, software engineering, civil engineering, and systems/control engineering. As needed, we collaborate with academic institutions, national laboratories and consultants, to further enhance our capabilities and confirm results independently.

Intellectual Property

The success of our business depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technologies, information, processes and know-how. We rely primarily on patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws in the U.S. and similar laws in other countries, confidentiality agreements and procedures and other contractual arrangements to protect our technology. As of December 31, 2025, we had 74 issued U.S. patents, 174 issued non-U.S. patents and 216 U.S. and non-U.S. patent applications pending. Similarly, we have 162 registered U.S. and foreign trademarks and 99 U.S. and foreign pending trademark applications. Our U.S. issued patents are scheduled to expire between 2030 and 2045.

6

We rely on appropriate security and confidentiality measures to safeguard our interests with respect to trade secrets and other proprietary know-how that is not patented (for example, certain manufacturing processes, test equipment designs, algorithms, and procedures, which are not covered by patents or patent applications).

Our R&D employees are subject to confidentiality and proprietary information agreements with us, which include appropriate confidentiality provisions and invention assignment provisions. However, such individuals could breach the terms of such agreements and it could be difficult and costly for us to enforce these agreements. In addition, these agreements may not have been properly entered into on every occasion with the applicable employee.

Seasonality

Project construction activity in North America and Europe tends to be lower in colder months. The installation of a solar tracker requires setting foundations in the ground which is more costly when the ground is frozen. Accordingly, we typically expect to see higher revenues in the second and third quarters when the weather is warmer in the northern hemisphere and lower revenues in the first and fourth quarters when the weather is colder absent other factors. While we expect this seasonality will continue to impact us in the near term as a large portion of our business is in North America and Europe, we expect to see less pronounced seasonal variations as we grow our business in markets in the southern hemisphere.

Historically, our revenue has been impacted by seasonality related to the Federal Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) step-downs for solar energy projects and seasonal construction activity, but with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) in August 2022, the base ITC was raised to 30%, with no step-downs before 2032.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the OBBB, which included changes to the energy tax credits. Specifically, the solar ITC now terminates for facilities that are placed in service after December 31, 2027, but that termination does not apply if the taxpayer begins construction on the facility before July 4, 2026. On August 15, 2025, the U.S. Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) and the IRS issued Notice 2025-42 consistent with the executive order, which eliminates the 5% safe harbor for utility-scale solar projects and only allows the physical work test to determine when a project begins construction.

Government Regulation

Environmental Laws and Regulations

We are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety, and pollution-control laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We do not believe the costs of compliance with these laws and regulations will be material to the business or our operations. We use, handle, generate, store, discharge and dispose of hazardous substances, chemicals and wastes at some of our facilities in connection with our product development, testing and manufacturing activities. Any failure by us to control the use of, to remediate the presence of or to restrict adequately the discharge of such substances, chemicals or wastes could subject us to potentially significant liabilities, clean-up costs, monetary damages and fines or suspensions in our business operations. In addition, some of our facilities are located on properties with a history of use involving hazardous substances, chemicals and wastes and may be contaminated. Although we have not incurred, and do not currently anticipate, any material liabilities in connection with such contamination, we may be required to make expenditures for environmental remediation in the future.

Government Incentives

Government incentives play a significant role in the solar industry and can materially affect market demand, project economics and the overall growth of our business. Federal, state, local and foreign government bodies

7

provide incentives to owners, end users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar electricity in the form of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives. The range and duration of these incentives varies widely by jurisdiction. Our customers typically use our systems for grid-connected applications, wherein solar power is sold under a power purchase agreement or into an organized electric market. This segment of the solar industry has historically depended on the availability and size of government incentives supporting the use of renewable energy.

The IRA made significant changes to the tax credit regime that applies to solar facilities. As a result of changes made by the IRA, U.S. taxpayers generally are entitled to a 30% ITC for projects placed in service after 2021, increased to 40% if certain “domestic content” requirements are satisfied, subject, in each case, to an 80% reduction to the credit amount if certain prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are not satisfied or deemed satisfied (either because the project has a net output of less than 1 MW or because construction begins before January 29, 2023). The IRS issued Notice 2023-38 in May of 2023 setting forth guidance on the domestic content bonus tax credits under the IRA. Uncertainties existed under this guidance, such as how to obtain the direct labor and materials costs to compute the domestic content percentage and how to define manufactured product components associated with trackers. In May of 2024, the IRS issued Notice 2024-41 setting forth further guidance on the domestic content bonus tax credits, including a safe harbor method for calculating domestic content percentages. On January 16, 2025, the IRS released Notice 2025-08, modifying Notice 2023-38 and Notice 2024-41 as well as introducing an updated elective safe harbor method for use in lieu of provisions of the adjusted percentage rule provided in Notice 2023-38 for calculating the domestic content bonus credit amounts applicable for certain qualified facilities and energy projects. Notice 2024-41 and Notice 2025-08 and the updated definitions described therein clarified certain pre-existing uncertainty in the industry, but also introduced new uncertainties. These uncertainties have and could continue to cause our customers to delay projects as they navigate the existing guidance in qualifying for the tax credit and possibly wait for further clarity.

The OBBB increased the domestic content threshold for solar facilities that begin construction after June 16, 2025 to claim the domestic content bonus credit, however, the OBBB did not otherwise amend the requirements for claiming a domestic content bonus credit or the guidance previously issued by the government. As domestic content guidance is not a final rule, it could be further modified by the Trump Administration.

As a result of changes made by the IRA, U.S. taxpayers will generally also be allowed to elect to receive a production tax credit (“PTC”) in lieu of the ITC for qualified solar facilities the construction of which begins before January 1, 2025 and that are placed in service after 2021. The PTC is available for electricity produced and sold to unrelated persons in the ten years following a project’s placement in service and is equal to an inflation-adjusted amount (currently 2.75 cents per kilowatt hour, assuming the prevailing wage requirements described above are satisfied or deemed satisfied, reduced by 80% if those requirements are not satisfied) for every kilowatt-hour of electricity produced by a facility. The available credit amount is increased by 10% if the domestic content requirements described above are satisfied.

In the case of projects which started construction after January 1, 2025, each of the ITC and PTC were replaced by similar “technology neutral” tax credit incentives that mimic the ITC and PTC but also require that projects satisfy a “zero greenhouse gas emissions” standard in order to qualify for the credits (solar is considered an eligible technology and automatically qualifies). Prior to modification under the OBBB, this new credit regime under the IRA applied to projects that began construction prior to the end of 2033 (and possibly later), at which point the credits would have become subject to a phase-out schedule.

While solar power is cost-competitive with conventional forms of generation in many U.S. states even without the ITC, we believe previous step-downs in the ITC in past years have influenced the timing and quantity of some customers’ orders. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the OBBB, which included changes to the energy tax credits. Specifically, the solar ITC now terminates for facilities that are placed in service after December 31, 2027, but that termination does not apply if the taxpayer begins construction on the facility before July 4, 2026. In addition, the OBBB imposes new foreign entity of concern limitations on the ITC before it expires, which could impact the ability of solar facilities to claim the ITC. Specifically, taxpayers cannot claim the credit in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBB if they are prohibited foreign entities (which are generally entities that are formed in or controlled by covered nations, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as entities determined to be under effective control as a result of contracts entered into with such entities). The credit is also disallowed for solar facilities that begin construction after December 31, 2025 that receive material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity. On February 13, 2026, Treasury guidance was released clarifying methods for calculating material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity and requesting comments.

On July 7, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order instructing Treasury to issue updated guidance, including on commencement of construction, within 45 days. On August 15, 2025, Treasury and the IRS issued Notice 2025-42 consistent with the executive order, which eliminates the 5% safe harbor for utility-scale solar projects and only allows the physical work test to determine when a project begins construction. If solar developers are unable to satisfy the physical work test prior to certain deadlines, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The Company expects certain tax provisions of the OBBB, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property and the immediate expensing of U.S.-based R&D activities, to reduce our 2025 taxable income. These accelerated deductions are expected to lower current‑year cash taxes and improve near-term operating cash flows. The favorable impact primarily represents a timing difference. As assets subject to bonus depreciation become fully depreciated and as expensed R&D activities normalize, we expect cash taxes to increase in future periods. The Company continues to evaluate additional guidance expected to be issued by Treasury related to OBBB.

The section 45X advanced manufacturing production tax credit was established as part of the IRA. The section 45X credit is a per-unit tax credit that is earned over time for each clean energy component domestically produced and sold by a manufacturer. The section 45X manufacturing production tax credit applies to eligible components, including torque tube and structural fasteners. Beginning in late 2023 and continuing through 2024 and 2025, we have successfully negotiated, and we continue to successfully negotiate, agreements with key suppliers around sharing the economic benefits of section 45X credits associated with torque tube and structural fasteners. We continue to pursue additional agreements for splitting the economic benefits of section 45X with suppliers for parts we do not manufacture internally. In addition, during the second quarter of 2024, we concluded that certain parts manufactured by the Company qualify for the section 45X advanced production credits.

The OBBB did not modify the phase-out of the section 45X credit or the definitions of eligible components relating to solar trackers; however, the OBBB did impose foreign entity of concern limitations on taxpayers claiming the section 45X credit. Specifically, taxpayers cannot claim the credit in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBB if they are prohibited foreign entities (which are generally entities that are formed in or controlled by covered nations, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as entities determined to be under effective control as a result of contracts entered into with such entities). The credit is also disallowed in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBB for eligible components that receive material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity. On February 13, 2026, Treasury guidance was released that further

9

clarified methods for calculating material assistance, and included a request for comments by March 30. We anticipate forthcoming Treasury proposed rule will further clarify the potential impact of the foreign entity of concern limitations may have for credits claimed in 2026 and future years.
