Together with our Portuguese partner MCA Group, we have started to install the first cluster of a 300 MWp pipeline. This marks the successful completion of many years of preparation and planning.
At a time when the world urgently needs environmentally friendly solutions, Mounting Systems is a pioneer in the development of innovative technologies for sustainable power generation. Our mission is clear: with our motto "FIXX the World", we are actively committed to a better and greener future. It is precisely for this reason that we have developed our latest product, the E-Port FIXX, was launched on the market.
The idea behind the E-Port FIXX is as simple as it is ingenious. There are huge, unused concrete surfaces in almost every country, be it in parking lots in front of supermarkets, shopping centers or office buildings. These unused areas offer a lot of potential. Why not use them efficiently and turn them into a sustainable source of energy?
Our E-Port FIXX is more than just a carport. It not only provides a large area of shade for parked vehicles, but also produces solar energy at the same time. This transforms an ordinary parking canopy into a modern solar solution that actively contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions. With every E-Port FIXX installed, we bring the world one step closer to an emission-free future.

But that's not all. The E-Port FIXX also stands for flexibility and adaptability. It can be installed in a wide variety of environments - from urban housing estates to rural industrial areas. This opens up countless opportunities to convert unused space into valuable resources and thus further promote the expansion of renewable energies.
With the E-Port FIXX, we want to show that sustainable energy generation does not have to be complicated. Each individual can make their own contribution and together we can change the world - step by step, project by project. Let's FIXX the world together to create a greener, more liveable future.
Together for a green future: Mounting Systems takes part in city cycling
City cycling
Mounting Systems makes kilometers for environmental protection
On your marks, get set, go! With the starting signal on 13.05.2024, we have actively moved for the environment for the third time in a row this year. Because we at Mounting Systems not only develop innovative solutions for substructures for PV modules, we also pedal hard.
During the city cycling event, we showed that we take responsibility and have a lot of fun at the same time. Our employees took part with great enthusiasm and made a positive contribution to the environment and team spirit by cycling.
With 19 motivated cyclists from our team, we covered an impressive 5,033 kilometers! That means 254 journeys and a whopping 835.4 kg of CO₂ saved.
A special highlight was the city cycling award ceremony at the Gutsparkfest in Groß Machnow, where our top cyclists Chris and Peter were honored for their outstanding achievements and received their well-deserved prizes.
Looking to the future:
City cycling was not only a sporting challenge, but also a great opportunity to work together for a more sustainable future. We are proud of the great results and can't wait to get going as a team again next year!
We recently received the ETN certificate for the French market, a milestone in bringing our products to the French market. In this interview, we will go into more detail about what this certification means for the company, what impact it will have on the solar market in France and what future developments we can expect.
We are pleased to present an exclusive interview with Sonia P. (Head of Sales Europe) to present:
Interview
Our sales expert Sonia P. explains what is behind the ETN certificate:
Can you briefly introduce yourself?
Sonia:I'm Sonia and I've been working for MSY as International Sales Manager since 2021, developing the brand in international markets, especially in France.
Could you briefly explain to us what exactly this certificate means and what significance it has for your company?
Sonia: The ETN (New Technical Study) is a technical study on the compatibility between certain solar modules and mounting systems. The technical assessment is carried out by inspection offices and the Scientific and Technical Center for Construction, which checks critical points such as watertightness, mechanical resistance, fire risk, etc.. This is usually required by insurance companies before the completion of a photovoltaic roof project in France. If you want to be present in France, you must have it.
What specific requirements and standards did Mounting Systems have to meet in order to obtain the ETN certificate? Were there any challenges during the certification process?
Sonia: We had to comply with a very detailed list of standards, edit a report, carry out internal tests, but also external tests in a special laboratory. It was hard work involving various departments and colleagues.
How will the ETN certificate affect market access and your business opportunities in France? Are there any specific expectations or goals that Mounting Systems would like to achieve with this certificate?
Sonia: It is important to obtain the ETN if you want to sell your product in France. So if we get all our systems certified, we can become a major player in the solar sector in France. French legislation is very strict and new laws have been passed, for example for carports, which will give us a good opportunity to sell our industrial carports for large parking lots.
What advantages does Mounting Systems offer compared to other providers on the market?
Sonia: We offer a complete Product portfoliofor on-roof, in-roof, various types of flat roofs and also ground mounting and carports. Our customers have access to a very complete range of products and can work in both the private and commercial sectors.
Can you tell us something about your experience with the French solar market? How do you assess the potential and development opportunities for renewable energies in France?
Sonia: We are ready to sell on the French market, which is a huge market with great potential in the residential and commercial/project sectors. The use of solar energy, e.g. for carports, is encouraged by French legislation.
To what extent does Mounting Systems support the energy transition and the expansion of renewable energies in France and worldwide? What role do our products play in this?
Sonia: In our markets, we have the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the energy transition, including renewable energies and a green future. For us, sustainability not only means durable and long-lasting products, but also environmental awareness and responsibility for the future.
What further steps or plans does Mounting Systems have for the future to strengthen its presence on the French market and further expand its range of solar substructures?
Sonia: We need to set up a technical and sales team for France in order to offer a comprehensive service in French and to adapt our products and services to the market.
Finally, is there anything else you would like to tell our readers, particularly with regard to the importance of certifications and quality standards in the renewable energy sector?
Sonia: Mounting Systems' philosophy is that we are more than just a brand. We offer not only products, but also services such as technical support, sales service and marketing. Compliance with all types of certifications is very important to us and therefore we are committed to complying with the standards of the renewable energy sector.
Thank you very much for the interview.
Sonia:It was a pleasure.

The opening of a new plant often marks a turning point in the development of a company. It is a bold step into the future that is eagerly awaited. For us at Mounting Systems, this moment was not only exciting but also extremely important, as we want to guarantee our customers a better delivery time as well as better availability. In this blog article, we would like to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the benefits we have achieved through our recent expansion.
More space, more possibilities. Our modern production and warehouse building was officially inaugurated recently. Close to our headquarters, we now have an additional production facility with an impressive total area of 25,677 square meters. Of this, Unit 2 (storage area) accounts for a proud 10,175 square meters and Unit 3 (production area) for a generous 5,116 square meters. In addition, approximately 2,175.88 square meters of office and ancillary space were created to ensure efficient coordination of all logistical aspects.
A mezzanine area of approximately 1,278.90 square meters was also used as a storage area and helps maximize our storage capacity. These premises offer us double the capacity for the material produced and a large storage area where the goods can be well stored.
Mounting Systems on course for expansion
We are looking forward to being able to supply our customers and business partners even faster and more efficiently. The expansion not only opens up spatial possibilities for us, but also a wealth of new perspectives. Thanks to the improved infrastructure, we now have better access to the highway, resulting in a more efficient supply chain. Our order logistics are excited about the possibilities offered by our new Plant 2 and are ready to process all orders with maximum precision and efficiency as usual.
"The location of our logistics area in this new building allows us to plan and coordinate all deliveries for our customers and partners even more efficiently. We have installed special ramps that enable safe loading of the trucks. This has not only optimized our logistics processes, but also significantly shortened the entire delivery process," explains Antje Mosch, Team Leader Order Logistics.
This expansion has the additional positive effect of creating further jobs on the labor market. The increase in production capacity and thus faster order processing for customers was our drive for this investment.
We would like to thank our customers and partners for their support and trust and look forward to new, exciting projects in the future. You are cordially invited to visit us at the new location. Stay up to date and don't miss any of our updates.
Topping-out ceremony at Germany's largest Panattoni Park

Summer party
Summer Sun Mounting Systems
On Friday, 23.06.2023, the time had finally come: Our 3-in-1 party could begin. With over 300 guests we celebrated our summer party, the 30th anniversary and the opening of the new factory. The motto was "Summer-Sun-Mounting Systems". But the weather in Rangsdorf did not want to stick to it and gave us a present in the form of heavy rain showers and a cool breeze. Thanks to the good preparation and the new premises at Maulbeerstraße 13, all colleagues, families and guests stayed dry, as the celebration was simply moved indoors. Our new facility was thus duly inaugurated. Who needs warm temperatures and sunshine?
more than a party.
it's a jubilee.
Everyone was surprised with a large selection of food trucks, a huge show truck that prepared delicious cocktails and much more, and a photo box where you could capture the beautiful moments. On the stage many exciting program points took place. Various dance groups from Dabendorf and Rangsdorf showed their skills. Live singing and a DJ provided the musical entertainment and encouraged dancing. Also for our small guests was provided. Two large bouncy castles were set up for them to play and romp around. There was a table with face painting and glitter tattoos. There they could have different motifs painted on their faces. Many parents took home little cats, lions or flower fairies. The balloon artist conjured up pirate swords and various animals for the children. All in all, our 30th anniversary was a great success and we would like to thank all our colleagues and service providers for their great efforts. A special thank you goes to everyone who joined in the celebration and made sure that this day will be remembered for a long time to come.

Solar power – the cheapest form of energy
11.11.2020
The future of photovoltaics looks bright. Many countries report new records in installed photovoltaic capacity every year. And there is certainly a logical explanation for this. The International Energy Agency's (IEA) published last month. World Energy Outlook 2020 Report notes that solar energy has become the "new king of electricity" by offering the cheapest electricity yet in human history. According to the publication, the cost per megawatt of solar is now below that of fossil fuels for the first time. In numbers, newly built utility-scale solar projects in Europe and the U.S. now cost $30-60 per MWh. Just four years ago, the figure for the above electricity generation cost (LCOE) of solar was $100, which is an excellent illustration of progress. In comparison, the report mentions that the LCOE for gas is up to 90 USD/MWh and for coal up to 120 USD/MWh.
The report presents four primary scenarios for the development of global energy production. Renewable energy sources will experience strong growth through 2040 in all four scenarios; the primary scenario includes 43 % more solar energy output, as originally projected in the 2018 report. The scenarios are projected using data analyzed by the World Energy Model (WEM). This large-scale simulation model is designed to match the functions of global energy markets and by using huge amounts of data to generate estimates for world energy markets. The "Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2020-2024" also agrees with the IEA's view, pointing out that utility-scale solar often offers the lowest-cost technology for power generation, with costs continuing to decline in the future.
What makes solar energy a cost-effective energy source?
The World Energy Outlook 2020 report additionally notes that significant cost reductions in solar PV over the past decade have made solar energy a consistently less expensive form of energy than coal or gas, for example, in most countries. There are several reasons for this. One reason is cheaper and easier access to capital in leading markets, made possible by supportive policies and mature technologies. In addition, major advances in solar technologies play an important role. For example, PV module performance has improved significantly-smaller modules can offer higher energy yields, longer lifetimes, better recycling capabilities, and lower manufacturing costs. To give an example, in 2010 a standard PV module cost about $2.00/watt, while today it is about $0.17/watt. In addition, battery, storage and grid connection technologies are improving and becoming more cost effective in a timely manner, which is extremely important for the flexible operation of PV systems. Solar plant sizes have also grown since the early 2000s, leading to improved economies of scale and thus cost reductions.
In terms of supporting policies, it is clear that the common climate goals of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) increasingly steer the path of policy toward solar and wind, while coal, oil, gas, and other more polluting forms of energy are being phased out and not as heavily subsidized. Currently, more than 130 countries already have policies in place to help lower the cost of new solar installations. The EU alone has set a goal of generating 32% of its total energy from renewable sources by 2030. However, the road to achieving net zero global CO2 emissions is long, and it won't happen overnight. It will require persistent effort and collaboration among governments, political actors, businesses and individuals.
