GameChange targets 30% of revenue from beyond solar trackers within three years

July 14, 2026 · PV Magazine USA · Score: 18

This is a business story about a company that makes utility-scale solar equipment, not a homeowner program, but it's worth knowing about since it points to where solar technology is headed. GameChange, which makes solar trackers (the motorized frames that tilt panels to follow the sun during the day), is expanding beyond that core business into transformers, electronic components, and monitoring systems. The company expects a third of its revenue to come from these newer product lines within two to three years.

The bigger picture: this kind of large-scale tracker and storage technology is mostly used in big solar farms, not on residential rooftops. But it matters indirectly because these companies are working on ways to pair solar with battery storage more efficiently. GameChange's CEO argues that trackers, by spreading out when panels generate power through the day, can reduce how much battery storage a project needs, which lowers overall costs. That same logic — smarter system design reducing the need for expensive batteries — is something that eventually filters down into home solar-plus-battery setups too.

The company also mentioned expansion plans in the U.S., Australia, Latin America, and parts of Europe, along with more rigorous testing of equipment for earthquakes and compatibility with newer, thinner solar panels. None of this changes what's available for home energy upgrades right now, but it's a sign that the solar and storage supply chain is still evolving quickly, which could affect equipment options and costs over time.
