Fighting Climate Change With Renewable Energy: We Are the Foundation
We are privileged to make a positive contribution to the energy transition towards renewable energies and a green future. For us, sustainability means not only durable and long-lasting products, but also environmental awareness and responsibility for the world of tomorrow.
Everything we do is geared towards the goal of minimizing our ecological footprint and offering only state-of-the-art photovoltaic solutions. This is achieved through optimized production processes and efficient quality and supply chain management. As an ISO-certified company, it is particularly important for us to comply with environmental requirements and regulations.
Our quality management system is certified according to ISO 9001:2015. In addition, the performance consistency of our products for steel and aluminium supporting structures is regularly assessed and confirmed according to EN1090 up to design class 2+.
Measures to reduce the carbon footprint:
Circular economy
The products of Mounting Systems are either made of steel or pure aluminum, which is not mixed with additional materials, such as for example plastic. This ensures full recyclability without degradation of the material.
Recycling
Aluminum that does not end up in the final commission is melted down to be reused.
Clever packaging technology
All packaging is returned to the recycling loop.
In-house supply
Our machinery and equipment are partially powered by solar energy generated in-house.
An industrial dishwasher is used to remove aluminum chips from the materials, and the resulting excess energy from the machine is used to heat the water in the building.

The development of sustainability arises from renewable energy, which plays an important role, not only to promote an ecological culture, but also to use natural sources such as wind, sun and water, without compromising the well-being of the environment in any way. With the technological evolution, the focus of the company X-Win, which deals with the distribution of solar storage systems and inverters, both for residential and commercial, also shifts to the new solutions of the German company Mounting Systems GmbH, leader and producer of mounting systems for the installation of photovoltaic systems: flat roof, pitched roof, in-roof, ground-mounted, carports, compatible with all different brands and types of modules.
“We have chosen Mounting Systems because of the very interesting technical and economic qualities of the products – explains Davide Orciani, Managing Director of X-Win -, because of the efficiency and, above all, because their mounting systems provide for shorter installation times than others. When we met a few years ago at Intersolar in Germany, it was immediately clear to us that it was worthwhile to deepen our knowledge.
Recently, the company has also introduced carport systems for the residential market, which we are very much counting on, namely the new trend in the solar industry. In particular, they have developed 3 new products: E-Port Home for residential buildings for single and double parking spaces and with the possibility of additional features such as LED lights, favorite color and luxurious design, who want the best of the best for their electric vehicle; E-Port Line for the commercial market and E-Port Wings for the industrial sector, such as airports or large shopping centers.
Photovoltaic modules can be easily mounted on pitched roofs of different types, through a wide range of mounting materials and a wide choice of rails, very attractive from an aesthetic point of view. The main advantages include easy pre-assembly within a few minutes, intelligent connection design, significant savings and maximum durability: all components are made of extruded aluminum and stainless steel to ensure both full recyclability and high corrosion resistance.
During and after installation, we can rely on the company’s comprehensive technical support, ranging from informative webinars to installation instructions and fast deliveries. We are pleased to have such a strong business partner at our side.”

Mounting Systems has supplied the first Egyptian solar tracker project in Benban with the second generation Sigma Tracker system. In cooperation with ib vogt, the two Berlin-based companies installed a project scope of 130 MWp and 1,500 Sigma Tracker systems, respectively. The Sigma Tracker was developed for use in extreme environmental conditions and is selected for projects like the one in Benban for this reason. The technical advantages of the Tracker system are particularly evident in terms of durability, the use of standard industrial components and the simplicity of installation.

In Goussaincourt, France, Mounting Systems supplied the Sigma II installation systems for a project built in collaboration with Bouygues ES. Due to the hard ground, our Sigma II was chosen as it was perfectly suited with its height adjustable split post. This, along with the relatively small cross-section of the posts, allowed for fast and efficient pre-drilling. More than 18,000 boreholes, which were backfilled with the excavated material to drive the posts, were thus drilled in less than 3 months.
The racking systems for approx. 36 MWp were delivered by us within four weeks. Therefore, the efficiency of our logistics was of outstanding importance.

The US-American solar market at a glance
11.02.2021
Despite all the news about fracking and coal production, the share of renewable energies in the USA is growing steadily. As a manufacturer of PV mounting systems, we are naturally pleased about this. Currently, two million solar systems are installed in the USA. Almost half of the PV systems are located in sunny California alone. But other states are also making strong gains. Due to the closure of coal-fired power plants - as many as 18 plants were taken offline in 2018 - and the expansion of renewables, the transformation of the power sector in the U.S. continues to move forward. Renewables, including hydropower, now provide nearly 18 percent of U.S. electricity. Hydropower provides the majority of green energy, accounting for about half of the total. But photovoltaics are also driving this growth, adding nearly 12 GW of new capacity. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar module prices declined to about 27 U.S. cents per watt in 2018, a dramatic drop from $79 per watt (2018 U.S. dollars) in 1976.
In addition to favorable module prices, strategies to promote sustainable energy growth by setting new, ambitious clean energy targets and regulations are also on the agenda for the coming years. These are good prospects for the solar industry. The Solar Energy Industries Association projects that total installed PV capacity in the U.S. will more than double in the next 5 years. Their projections show that over 14 GW of PV capacity will be installed annually by 2023.
The American PV market
After an annual low in 2017, the solar industry recovered in recent months. After all, around 32,000 new PV systems were installed on roofs in 2018. However, uncertainties regarding solar and metal tariffs continue to weigh on purchasing decisions. One reason that in the past, the U.S. market for residential and commercial solar has shrunk. In the meantime, however, there are signs that the market is picking up again in some states, especially in California, which continues to lead the way. A landmark decision by the California Energy Commission in early 2018 is also playing an important role. Starting in 2020, all new homes will be required to have a PV system installed. This decision also has a significant impact on long-term forecasts. This, of course, has a significant impact on the residential market for PV mounting systems. In addition, demand continues to increase due to developments in the combination of photovoltaics and storage (PV + S). Here, California and Hawaii are clearly ahead in the area of "projects on order". Tesla's solar division experienced a decline. The company had to relinquish its leading role in the solar market to competitor Sunrun in 2018. Prior to that, Tesla at times accounted for one-third of all new photovoltaic installations on homes in the United States. But that could quickly change again. This year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced plans to ramp up production of the solar roof, which was unveiled back in 2016, and to reach a production of 1,000 solar roofs per week by the end of the year.
Prospects for the next few years
The solar industry in the U.S. remained robust in 2018 - despite uncertainty over new tax and tariff policies. While the focus for the current U.S. administration is not exactly on expanding renewable energy, many others are filling that void. States, cities, communities, and companies continue to respond with increasingly ambitious sustainability goals that are driving solar market growth.
