PowerRack 1200 is here.
We’ve taken everything you love about the original PowerRack: lightning-fast installations, optimal land usage, and maximized output per acre, and created PowerRack 1200. This brand new rack was created for commercial applications and fits any module up to 1150mm in height. Flexible, durable, and Made in the USA. Keep scrolling to see why PowerRack 1200 should support your next commercial solar project.
Available for Pre-Order now, delivering November 2025.
PowerRack vs. Them
Traditional pole-mounted fixed-tilt systems have long been the industry standard when evaluating ground-mounted solar PV systems. However, innovations in racking technology, such as the PowerField PowerRack System, offer substantial cost savings by reducing material, labor, and environmental impact costs.
The table below provides a cost comparison for a 50 MW ground-mounted solar project, comparing a traditional pole-mounted racking system and the PowerRack 1000 and PowerRack 1200 solutions. The figures are based on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 2024 pricing, ensuring an accurate and up-to-date benchmark for project development costs.
