Create Energy, an advanced energy and electrical power system solutions provider, has acquired SOL Components, a solar mounting and tracker company, from Kloeckner Metals to expand its energy systems platform and solar tracker portfolio.

The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Kloeckner Metals, a subsidiary of Klöckner & Co’s U.S., acquired SOL Components in October 2023. Based in California, SOL Components manufactures and delivers mounting systems and original equipment manufacturer components for commercial and utility-scale solar projects, including single-axis trackers and fixed-tilt ground mount systems.

Create Energy said the acquisition will add the SOL Components tracker to its ONTRACK portfolio, the integration of which would help strengthen its offering for engineering, procurement, and construction companies, independent power producers, and hyperscale developers.

“Create Energy promised to be a dominant force in the M&A market this year, and we are delivering,” said Joseph Fahrney, Chief of Staff. “In a consolidating industry, customers choose us because they trust Dean Solon and our ability to provide speed, certainty, unmatched performance, and one of the best warranties in the industry. This acquisition amplifies our momentum and solidifies Create Energy as the premier long-term solutions provider for the energy sector.”

Create Energy describes its proprietary platform, ONTRACK, as an integrated solution that covers the project lifecycle from concept through commissioning. The company said the platform has been deployed across major projects and is intended to support its “panel-to-power” experience.

According to the announcement, Create Energy is pursuing acquisitions that support its vertically integrated model.

According to Mercom’s recently released Q1 2026 Solar Funding and M&A report, Corporate M&A activity in the solar sector was 47% higher YoY in the first quarter of 2026, with 28 corporate M&A transactions compared to 19 in Q1 2025.

In 2026, QE Solar, a provider of operations and maintenance and engineering services for solar, battery storage, and energy infrastructure, acquired Vanguard Energy Partners‘ operations and maintenance division. The company will integrate Vanguard’s operations and maintenance personnel, customer relationships, and operational expertise into its platform.
