Axial used its participation at Intersolar Europe 2026 to reinforce its position as Europe's leading solar tracker supplier while unveiling Titan, its latest solution for utility-scale photovoltaic projects. The company combined the product launch with a broader message centered on engineering, customer proximity and long-term growth as it looks to expand its footprint beyond its strongest European markets.

The event came shortly after Wood Mackenzie and S&P Global ranked Axial as the largest solar tracker supplier in Europe by shipments in 2025, following a record year in which the region reached 25 GWdc of tracker shipments. The company also retained the top position in Italy, ranked second in Romania and remained among the world's top ten tracker suppliers.

Leadership built on long-term vision

Speaking to Review Energy during the event, CEO José Luis Fayos described the European leadership as the result of nearly two decades of steady growth rather than aggressive expansion.

"We have always followed the same path since the company was founded almost 20 years ago," he said. "We have been very conservative in our growth, always staying close to our customers, offering reliable products and continuously incorporating innovation."

Rather than seeing the recognition as an end goal, Fayos called it "a starting point," explaining that the company's current position provides the foundations for its next stage of international expansion.

Customer orientation also remains one of Axial's main differentiators, according to the CEO. "What we sell is not only a tracker. We provide engineering, support and accompany the customer throughout the project," he said.

Titan expands Axial's utility-scale portfolio

A central highlight of Axial's presence at Intersolar was the presentation of Titan, a new tracker designed for large-scale photovoltaic plants.

The solution has been developed to reduce project complexity while improving overall plant economics as project sizes continue to increase. Unlike conventional tracker designs, Titan allows tracker lengths of up to 160 meters, reduces the number of motors and foundations required, accommodates up to four strings per tracker and simplifies electrical infrastructure.

According to Axial, these design changes contribute to lower installation costs, faster construction and improved resource utilization across utility-scale projects.

Fayos explained that Titan complements the company's existing portfolio by addressing the needs of projects built on large, stable sites, particularly in markets such as the United States and the Middle East.

"It is a tracker that combines reliability, stability, technological development and innovation," he said. "For very large projects, you need a product with proven reliability because maximizing energy generation is essential for the profitability of the plant."

Innovation beyond product design

Beyond the launch of Titan, Axial stressed that innovation increasingly extends beyond structural engineering to include manufacturing, supply chain optimization and installation efficiency.

As solar plants continue to grow in size and complexity, Fayos believes manufacturers must innovate without compromising reliability.

"You have to innovate constantly, but reliability and stability remain essential," he said. "Innovation also means making installation easier, simplifying components and improving the supply chain, while maintaining the level of quality customers expect."

This philosophy is reflected across Axial's broader tracker portfolio, including the Axial 2TT, one of the company's flagship solutions for utility-scale projects.

Looking beyond Europe

Although Europe remains one of the world's most mature solar markets, Fayos argued that future growth will increasingly depend on international expansion.

While acknowledging Europe's record deployment and long-standing commitment to renewable energy, he also pointed to growing geopolitical uncertainty and the need to diversify geographically.

"We have to keep looking beyond Europe," he said. "Being part of a global industry means always looking ahead." Looking to the future, the CEO said the company's ambition is to replicate the leadership it has achieved in Europe across other strategic regions.

"My plan is to replicate Axial's position in Europe in the new markets where we are expanding," Fayos said. "In the next three to five years, Axial will be a very different company from the one we know today—and a better one."
