Tennessee-based solar equipment provider Create Energy completed the acquisition of SOL Components, a structural balance-of-system (sBOS) provider, from Kloeckner Metals for an undisclosed sum. SOL Components' portfolio included ground-mounted fixed-tilt solar racking systems as well as 1P and 2P single-axis trackers, which will be integrated into Create Energy’s ONTRACK suite of solutions.
