ARRAY Technologies, a global solar tracker company, has acquired Affordable Wire Management (AWM), a provider of wiring, cable protection and balance-of-system solutions for utility-scale solar and energy storage projects.

“This is an important milestone for ARRAY and another step in our strategy to provide customers with a more comprehensive, integrated portfolio of solutions,” said Kevin G. Hostetler, CEO of ARRAY. “AWM brings innovative products, strong engineering capabilities, a reputation for quality and customer service and an experienced and proven leadership team. Together, we believe we are better positioned to simplify project design and installation, improve system performance and deliver greater value across solar, storage and data center markets.”

ARRAY announced its intent to acquire AWM in July. With the deal now completed, the company said it expects AWM to help expand its presence not only in solar and energy storage, but also in the growing data center market. ARRAY said in a press release that AWM was acquired for $203 million.

The acquisition adds cable management systems used in utility-scale solar projects, including cable hangers, as well as guiding rails for energy storage. In a market where project developers and installers often work across multiple equipment categories, combining tracker, wiring and balance-of-system offerings under one company can make procurement and project coordination more centralized, while keeping ARRAY positioned across several large infrastructure segments.

“We are incredibly excited for AWM’s future as we officially join ARRAY,” said Scott Rand, CEO and co-founder of AWM. “ARRAY’s scale, customer relationships and global reach provide a strong platform to accelerate our growth and bring AWM’s solutions to more customers. Our teams share a culture of innovation and a relentless focus on the customer, and we look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
