How GameChange Came About
Our team leadership has invested over $480,000,000, heavily in
metal fabrication companies. This gives us a strong working
knowledge of cost effective scale metal manufacturing processes.

Our group companies built 10 solar power plants and learned the
solar business

As these plants were built, we saw that PV mounting structures were

too expensive, complicated slow to install, and needed better
integrated wire management and grounding.

GameChange Racking was started in 2012 to provide the most cost-

effective, high quality and fast-installing solar racking systems.

The company was renamed GameChange Solar in 2015 to better

message the immediate expansion into trackers and long term
expansion into storage.

We have built a superior engineering team, leveraged our legacy

skillset in solar system installation, design and metal fabrication, and
developed the best designed racking systems in the industry.

17 MW – Group of 5 Massachusetts Landfill Sites
This group of 5 landfill Solar Systems totaling 17 MW was built with the GameChange Precast Ballasted Ground system seamlessly.

Precast ballasted ground systems were installed on five landfills in Massachusetts by a

leading EPC for the nation’s most prestigious solar landfill developer.

This is the first of two planned solar arrays in the city. The second array, a 3.8-megawatt
facility is planned for adjacent area. It will provide about two-thirds of the area's power
requirement directly.

12.9 MW – New Jersey Landfill Site - Largest Superfund Site in the United States
This 12.9 MW Solar Project was built in record time on a Landfill in New Jersey and powers 40,000 homes nearby.

The L&D Landfill 12.9 MW GameChange Solar Pour-in-Place™ System is the largest superfund landfill
project in the United States.

The system installed quickly onto a challenging landfill with several difficult sloping areas.
Stringent requirements were followed during the installation to make sure all local, state and other
regulations were followed.

6.5 MW - Three Closed Solid Waste Landfills in Western MA

All three sites were built on top of closed solid waste landfills, creating valuable re-use of otherwise useless land.

These western Massachusetts landfills require very stringent design guidelines to be followed. The
landfill cap was not allowed to be disturbed and all vegetation was required to be left in place to
required height for storm water management reasons. The sites were completed in only two months
through difficult fall and winter conditions.

2.5 MW – Largest Landfill Solar System in New York State

This site is the largest solar PV installation on a landfill in New York.
The install process is straightforward and quick. Bobcats with pouring buckets filled the forms, then modules were mounted.

Clarkstown, NY - 12 men installed 2.5 MW racking in under one week

"We selected Gamechange’s pour-in-place ballasted ground system for its superior quality,
value, and speed and ease of installation. It was a pleasure working with their team.“
