SunLink Corporation operated as a privately held enterprise with its main office located in Mill Valley, California, specializing in the production of renewable energy solutions. The company’s Warehouse and Training Center was situated in San Leandro, California, while its product design, testing, and fabrication activities were carried out within California. Manufacturing took place both domestically in the United States and internationally in China. Established in 2004, by 2012 SunLink had successfully completed more than 120,000 commercial and utility-scale solar installations throughout the Americas. In 2018, SunLink faced a patent infringement lawsuit from NEXTracker concerning mounting system technologies. Subsequently, by 2019, SunLink consented to withdraw from the market and proceeded with the foreclosure of most of its assets.

Prior to its foreclosure, SunLink’s offerings encompassed tracker systems, fixed-tilt solutions, and roof-mounted photovoltaic mounting systems designed for commercial and utility-scale solar projects. Additionally, the company provided solar project installation along with operations and maintenance (O&M) services. Their portfolio also included project intelligence software that delivered energy analytics and remote asset management capabilities (SCADA). SunLink dedicated resources to research and development focused on seismic resilience and wind engineering, collaborating with the Boundary Layer Laboratory at the University of Western Ontario as well as the structural engineering firm Rutherford & Chekene. The company also performed seismic testing of roof-mounted systems utilizing the Shake Table at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center at UC Berkeley.
