Industry Update: Gibraltar Exits Solar Structures Business

The solar industry continues to evolve through strategic acquisitions that are reshaping the renewable energy supply chain. Gibraltar Industries has completed the sale of Terrasmart, its solar racking and foundations business, to Unirac, following an earlier sale of Terrasmart’s electrical balance of systems (eBOS) business to GameChange Energy.

For the industry, this reflects an ongoing trend toward consolidation, with manufacturers strengthening their product portfolios to offer more comprehensive solutions. By combining Terrasmart’s expertise in ground-mounted solar structures, trackers, and challenging foundation systems with Unirac’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities, the acquisition is expected to expand innovation and provide developers and EPC contractors with broader project solutions.

At Accord Power, we view developments like this as a positive sign that the solar industry continues to mature. Stronger, more specialized manufacturers help create a more resilient supply chain and provide engineering firms, developers, and installation companies with access to increasingly advanced technologies. As we continue designing and developing commercial and community-scale solar and energy storage projects, we closely monitor changes like these to ensure we’re leveraging the best available solutions for our customers.
