Affordable Wire Management Forges Ahead with Domestic-Built Cable Management Systems; Unveils Next Generation Solutions and Key Innovations to Benefit the Nation’s Top-Ranked EPCs
Company poised for substantial growth in 2024 after bolstering its product suite and forming partnerships with domestic manufacturers
Tempe, AZ and Bedminster, NJ — January 29, 2024 — Affordable Wire Management (AWM), a leading provider of solar cable management systems (CMS), today announced several record years of growth and innovation, along with the expansion of its domestic manufacturing supply chain. AWM has successfully deployed 8+ GW of its innovative CMS throughout North America and Canada, already surpassed several of its competitors, and is on track to be the market leader.
AWM’s cutting-edge solutions for utility-scale solar power plants include Arden Messenger Cable Hangers, Bonsai Module Cable Hangers, the Solar LOTO safety device, and customizable hardware. Over the last several years, both Arden and Bonsai have outpaced several well-known competitors’ market share, thanks to AWM’s innovative, value-engineering approach.
“Since our inception, we have been dedicated to domestic manufacturing, and that has extended to sourcing American-made components, as well. Today I’m proud to announce that we have expanded our supply chain via partnerships with vertically integrated, U.S.-based manufacturing suppliers. Thanks to the IRA, domestic content delivers major tax adder benefits, and AWM is well-positioned to offer that to our EPC partners, while accelerating solar energy adoption,” said Scott Rand, co-founder and CEO of AWM.
At RE+ 2023, AWM announced significant advancements to its Arden Cable Hangers. These durable, all-metal hangers deliver unparalleled ampacity benefits, effectively reshaping utility–scale projects. Each branch is rated at 20 pounds, which amounts to a rating that is 2.5 times higher than competitors. Arden Hangers are the only solution on the market with a 40+ year lifespan, and are the first choice for the nation’s top-ranked EPCs. “8 out of the top 10 EPCs have relied on our efficient, safe solutions to cut costs during construction, while owners and operators benefit from improved solar plant performance,” Rand remarked.
AWM announced several other notable milestones in 2022 and 2023, such as the completion of the award-winning 8.5 MW Houston Solar Farm in Alaska – the largest solar asset in Alaska to date. AWM’s robust metal cable hangers, specifically engineered for extreme ice and snow loads, were the optimal solution for the harsh Alaskan conditions. Forging strategic partnerships and further investments in its engineering team and highly skilled workforce have enabled AWM to scale quickly, while providing the rugged, cost-efficient and customizable solutions the company is known for.
“AWM continues to raise the bar, with exceptional, value-engineered solutions that have never been seen before from a solar cable management company. AWM’s determination and commitment to excellence and innovation remain unbeatable. The company has the expertise and vision to shape the future of the utility-scale solar cable management industry,” said Halston Rowe, Senior Project Manager, SOLV Energy.
