Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orion and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Orion have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 or other interim periods. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Orion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on June 12, 2023. Allowance for Credit Losses Orion performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and continuously monitors collections and payments. Orion estimates an allowance for credit losses based upon the historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We also consider customer-specific information, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions . Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, allowance for credit losses, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, earn-out, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Orion's cash is primarily deposited wit h one financial institu tion. At times, deposits in this institution exceeds the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Orion has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant financial institution viability risk on these balances. Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, no suppliers accounted for more than 10.0 % of total cost of revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 18.2 % and 10.7 % of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 19.3 % and 10.8 % of total revenue, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 , one customer accounted for 16.0 % and 14.9 % of total revenue, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 11.1 % and 10.6 % of accounts receivable, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 , one customer accounted for 10.8 % of accounts receivable. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are typically established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The Company, based on its assessment, determined that any recently issued or proposed ASUs are either not applicable to the Company or will have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements when adopted. Recently Adopted Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. The provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for Orion for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Orion adopted ASU 2016-13 effective April 1, 2023. The effect of adoption was immaterial.

REVENUE

REVENUE	6 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	NOTE 3 — REVENU E Orion generates revenue primarily by selling manufactured or sourced commercial lighting fixtures and components, sourced electric vehicle chargers and related products, installing these products in customer’s facilities, and providing maintenance services including repairs and replacements for the lighting and related electrical components. Orion recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance in “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) when control of the goods or services being provided (which we refer to as a performance obligation) is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration Orion expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, Orion acquired Voltrek LLC ("Voltrek"), which sells and installs sourced electric vehicle charging stations and related software subscriptions and renewals. The results of Voltrek are included in the Orion Electric Vehicle Charging segment ("EV") and complement Orion’s existing turnkey installation model. The sale of charging stations and related software subscriptions and renewals is presented in Product revenue. Orion is the principal in the sales of charging stations as it has control of the physical products prior to transfer to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For certain sales, primarily software subscriptions and renewals, Orion is the sales agent providing access to the content and recognize commission revenue net of amounts due to third parties who fulfill the performance obligation. For these sales, control passes at the point in time upon providing access of the content to the customer. The sale of installation and services related to the EV charging business is presented in Service revenue. Revenue from the EV segment that includes both the sale of product and service is allocated between the product and service performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, and is recorded in Product revenue and Service revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenue from the lighting and maintenance offering that includes both the sale of Orion manufactured or sourced product and service is allocated between the product and service performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, and is recorded in Product revenue and Service revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following tables provide detail of Orion’s total revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Six Months Ended September 30, 2023 Product Services Total Product Services Total Revenue from contracts with customers: Lighting product and installation $ 11,928 $ 1,614 $ 13,542 $ 23,713 $ 2,445 $ 26,158 Maintenance services 876 2,757 3,633 1,775 5,612 7,387 Electric vehicle charging 2,752 627 3,379 3,734 883 4,617 Solar energy related revenues 13 — 13 13 — 13 Total revenues from contracts with customers 15,569 4,998 20,567 29,235 8,940 38,175 Revenue accounted for under other guidance 19 — 19 24 — 24 Total revenue $ 15,588 $ 4,998 $ 20,586 $ 29,259 $ 8,940 $ 38,199 Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Six Months Ended September 30, 2022 Product Services Total Product Services Total Revenue from contracts with customers: Lighting product and installation $ 12,059 $ 2,036 $ 14,095 $ 24,463 $ 3,394 $ 27,857 Maintenance services 755 2,691 3,446 1,744 5,756 7,500 Total revenues from contracts with customers 12,814 4,727 17,541 26,207 9,150 35,357 Revenue accounted for under other guidance 19 — 19 109 — 109 Total revenue $ 12,833 $ 4,727 $ 17,560 $ 26,316 $ 9,150 $ 35,466 The following chart shows the balance of Orion’s receivables arising from contracts with customers, contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands): September 30, March 31, Accounts receivable, net $ 16,117 $ 13,728 Contract assets $ 1,827 $ 1,320 Contract liabilities $ 1,748 $ 480 There were no significant changes in the contract assets outside of standard reclassifications to accounts receivable, net upon billing.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE	NOTE 11 — NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and does not consider common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the dilution that would occur if stock options were exercised and restricted shares vested. In the computation of diluted net income per common share, Orion uses the treasury stock method for outstanding options and restricted shares. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 , Orion was in a net loss position; therefore, the Basic and Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are equal because any increase to the basic shares would be anti-dilutive. Net (loss) income per common share is calculated based upon the following shares: For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss (in thousands) $ ( 4,388 ) $ ( 2,331 ) $ ( 11,025 ) $ ( 5,166 ) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding 32,502,566 31,330,030 32,424,623 31,240,475 Weighted-average common shares and common share 32,502,566 31,330,030 32,424,623 31,240,475 Net loss per common share: Basic $ ( 0.14 ) $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.34 ) $ ( 0.17 ) Diluted $ ( 0.14 ) $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.34 ) $ ( 0.17 ) The following table indicates the number of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of Diluted net income per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The Credit Agreement replaced Orion’s prior $ 20.15 million secured revolving credit and security agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The replacement of the Prior Credit Agreement with the Credit Agreement provides Orion with increased financing capacity and liquidity to fund its operations and implement its strategic plans. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $ 25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on December 29, 2025 . Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base requirement based on eligible receivables, inventory and cash. As of September 30, 2023, the borrowing base of the Credit Facility supports $ 18.9 million of availability, with $ 8.9 million of remaining availability net of $ 10.0 million borrowed. Effective November 4, 2022, Orion, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement. The primary purpose of the amendment was to include the assets of the acquired subsidiaries, Stay-Lite Lighting, Inc. ("Stay-Lite Lighting") and Voltrek, as secured collateral under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, eligible assets of Stay-Lite and Voltrek will be included in the borrowing base calculation for the purpose of establishing the monthly borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. The amendment also clarified that the earn-out liabilities associated with the Stay-Lite and Voltrek transactions are permitted under the Credit Agreement and that the expenses recognized in connection with those earn-outs should be added back in the computation of EBITDA, as defined, under the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, Orion was in compliance with all debt covenants. Equipment Debt Obligations In February 2019, Orion entered into additional debt agreements with a financing company in the principal amount of $ 44 thousand and $ 30 thousand to fund the purchase of certain equipment. The debts are secured by the related equipment. The debts bear interest at a rate of 6.43 % and 8.77 % per annum, respectively, and both debts mature in January 2024 .

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES Orion’s income tax provision was determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon the facts and circumstances known, to book income (loss) before income tax, adjusting for discrete items. Orion’s actual effective tax rate is adjusted each interim period, as appropriate, for changes in facts and circumstances. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Orion recorded income tax expense (benefit) of $ 15 thousand and $( 0.6 ) million, respectively, using this methodology. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Orion recorded income tax (benefit)/expense of $ 0.1 million a nd $( 1.5 ) million, respectively, using this methodology. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, Orion had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset balance. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination is made. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the more or less of its deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be reflected in the company’s provision for income taxes. Uncertain Tax Positions As of September 30, 2023, Orion’s balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $ 0.2 million, all of which would reduce Orion’s effective tax rate if recognized. Orion has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain tax benefits in the balance sheet as Other long-term liabilities to the extent that payment is not anticipated within one year. Orion recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax liabilities in income tax (benefit) expense. Penalties and interest are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENTS	NOTE 17 — SEGMENTS Reportable segments are components of an entity that have separate financial data that the entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews when allocating resources and assessing performance. Orion's CODM is the chief executive officer. Previously, Orion had four reportable segments: Orion Services Group Division ("OSG"), Orion Distribution Services Division ("ODS"), Orion U.S. Markets Division (“USM”) and Orion Electric Vehicle Charging Division (“EV Segment”). Effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Orion began to evaluate and report the business using three segments: Orion Lighting Division, Orion Maintenance Division and Orion Electric Vehicle Charging Division. Orion configured its fiscal 2024 budget in order to compare actual performance to plan performance for these segments. Due to the change in composition of reportable segments in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the corresponding segment information for fiscal year 2023 has been restated for presentation on a comparable basis. Lighting Segment The Lighting Segment develops and sells lighting products and provides construction and engineering services for Orion's commercial lighting and energy management systems. The Lighting Segment provides engineering, design, lighting products and in many cases turnkey solutions for large national accounts, governments, municipalities, schools and other customers. The Lighting Segment sells mostly through direct sales, but it also sells lighting products though manufacturer representative agencies and to the wholesale contractor markets through energy service companies and contractors.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITION	NOTE 18 — ACQUISITION Acquisition of Voltrek Effective on October 5, 2022, Orion acquired all the membership interests of Voltrek, an electric vehicle charging station solutions provider for a purchase price of $ 5.0 million in cash and $ 1.0 million of shares of common stock of Orion, subject to normal and customary closing adjustments of $ 0.9 million (the “Voltrek Acquisition”). In addition, depending upon the relative EBITDA growth of Voltrek’s business in fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025, Orion could pay up to an additional $ 3.0 million, $ 3.5 million and $ 7.15 million, respectively, in earn-out payments. These compensatory payments do not fall within the scope of ASC 805, Business Combinations, and will be expensed over the course of the earn-out periods to the extent they are earned. As of September 30, 2023 , Orion recorded $ 3.0 million to accrued expenses for its fiscal 2023 earn-out payment and an additional $ 2.1 million to other long-term liabilities for the cumulative potential earn-out opportunity which is anticipated to be paid in fiscal 2026. The Voltrek Acquisition was funded with cash and Orion shares. Voltrek operates as Voltrek, an Orion Energy Systems business. The Voltrek Acquisition leverages Orion’s project management and maintenance expertise into a rapidly growing sector. Orion has accounted for the Voltrek Acquisition as a business combination. Orion has allocated a purchase price of approximately $ 6.9 million to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price and closing adjustments were paid in cash and 620,067 shares of common stock with a total fair market value of $ 1.0 million, which is recorded in the opening balance sheet at fair value of $ 0.8 million, the discount on which is due to lock-up requirements on the shares. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for Voltrek: (in thousands) Opening Balance Sheet Cash $ 416 Accounts receivable 1,363 Revenue earned but not billed 325 Inventory 880 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 39 Property and equipment 4 Goodwill 920 Other intangible assets 4,300 Other long-term assets 223 Accounts payable ( 1,133 ) Accrued expenses and other ( 286 ) Other long-term liabilities ( 180 ) Net purchase consideration $ 6,871 Goodwill recorded from the Voltrek Acquisition is attributable to the skillset of the acquired workforce. The goodwill resulting from the Voltrek Acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets include amounts recognized for the fair value of the trade name, vendor relationship and customer relationships. The tradename intangible asset was valued using a relief from royalty method. The significant assumptions used include the estimated revenue and royalty rate, among other factors. The vendor relationship intangible asset was valued using the income approach – excess earnings method. The significant assumptions include estimated revenue, cost of goods sold, and probability of renewal, among other factors. The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using the income approach – with-and-without method. The significant assumptions include estimated cash flows (including appropriate revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses attributable to the asset, retention rate, among other factors), and discount rate, reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flow stream, among other factors. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the intangible assets is considered to be within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. The following table presents the details of the intangible assets acquired at the date of Voltrek Acquisition (dollars in thousands): Estimated Estimated Useful Life (Years) Tradename $ 300 5 Vendor relationship 2,600 7 Customer relationships 1,400 3 Voltrek's post-acquisition results of operations since October 5, 2022 are included in Orion’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The operating results of Voltrek are included in the EV segment. See note 17 – Segments, for results. Transaction costs related to the Voltrek Acquisition are recorded in acquisition costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Transaction costs totaled $ 3 thousand and $ 0.1 million in the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 , respectively, and $ 0.3 million in each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. If Voltrek had been acquired on April 1, 2022, the pro forma Orion revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 would have been $ 18.8 million and $ 37.9 million, respectively. Proforma net loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 would have been $( 2.7 ) million and $( 6.0 ) million, respectively. The pro forma information was determined based on the historical results of Orion and unaudited financial results from Voltrek. These proforma results reflect additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment and intangible asset occurred at the beginning of the period, along with consequential tax effects. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the business combinations been completed at the beginning of the period or the results that may occur in the future. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the impact of any synergies resulting from the acquisitions.

Orion estimates an allowance for credit losses based upon the historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We also consider customer-specific information, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, allowance for credit losses, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, earn-out, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties	Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Orion's cash is primarily deposited wit h one financial institu tion. At times, deposits in this institution exceeds the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Orion has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant financial institution viability risk on these balances. Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, no suppliers accounted for more than 10.0 % of total cost of revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 18.2 % and 10.7 % of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 19.3 % and 10.8 % of total revenue, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 , one customer accounted for 16.0 % and 14.9 % of total revenue, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 11.1 % and 10.6 % of accounts receivable, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 , one customer accounted for 10.8 % of accounts receivable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are typically established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The Company, based on its assessment, determined that any recently issued or proposed ASUs are either not applicable to the Company or will have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements when adopted. Recently Adopted Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. The provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for Orion for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Orion adopted ASU 2016-13 effective April 1, 2023. The effect of adoption was immaterial.
