OMCO Solar
4550 W. Watkins St. , Phoenix, Arizona, United States

OMCO Solar is a division of OMCO Holdings, the largest custom roll former in the United States. OMCO has been producing highly engineered shapes for a wide range of industries since 1955.

Established in 2009, OMCO Solar is dedicated to expanding the solar industry by producing custom mounting structures for commercial and utility solar applications. The company developed the first steel fabrication especially for the solar utility market and has been assisting in innovations for solar panel design and construction since its inception.

Our Growth

What began as one sales office in Las Vegas, NV has expanded into over 300,000 square feet of manufacturing space with more than 800 employees in Phoenix, AZ. OMCO Solar has grown because of its dedication to quality and on time delivery. Every part is produced to your exact specifications. Our quality inspection processes are extensive and assure that every part is checked thoroughly for any aberrations. Deadlines are adhered to without exception.

Our Expertise

We are focused on serving the solar industry, including both commercial and residential applications. We produce photovoltaic (PV) mounting and framing, parabolic mounting structures, linear Fresnel structures, and concentrated solar power (CSP) structures. We routinely produce solar power mounts, supports, frames, plus additional components made from a wide range of materials, thicknesses, lengths, and volumes. OMCO Solar works with many solar power OEMs, EPCs and installers to create custom profiles and stampings.

Our Services

OMCO Solar's services before and after the part is formed set us apart. Before the part is formed, our engineering professionals work with you to understand your needs and suggest ways to save time and costs. Fast prototyping is essential to the success of a project, and OMCO Solar employs seasoned tool and die engineers to make your drawings a reality.

In-line processes include fastener insertion and high-volume assembly capabilities that take significant costs out of the installation. To ensure your products arrive safely on the jobsite, OMCO Solar provides custom packaging. Whether you are shipping fragile glass and mirror assemblies or heavy bundled parts of steel, we will get it to you on time in the same condition that it was when it left our facility.

To facilitate additional in-house assembly and to meet a growing need for stamping, OMCO Solar also owns and operates four 200-ton stamping presses.

Roll forming is a procedure where continuous bending operations are applied to sheet metal or strips of metal to plastically deform the metal along a linear axis. Roll stations shape the metal in tandem sets of rolls through progressive stages until the required configuration is achieved.

Virtually any material that can be formed through sheet forming techniques can also be roll formed. It is ideal for large quantities of parts with long lengths. Multiple lengths of parts can be produced from the same set of tooling. 

The process is extremely cost effective for large production runs. When dimensional consistency is important, roll forming is an excellent solution. The diagram below shows a typical set-up for roll forming.
