MSY brings green energy into play

Main sponsor for Bridlington Town FC

We are delighted to tell you about our exciting sponsorship project in England! Our client, HDM Worldwide, has recently taken over Bridlington Town Football Club and brought us, Mounting Systems GmbH, on board as their main sponsor. A particularly exciting element of this project is the planned installation of solar panels on the roof of the Queensgate Stadium, which has capacity for 2,800 spectators. HDM Worldwide has announced that this sustainable initiative will not only help to reduce the club's carbon footprint, but also to pass on the energy savings to the fans. The aim is to reduce ticket prices, making football more accessible to all.

HDM Worldwide hat angekündigt, dass diese nachhaltige Initiative nicht nur zur Reduzierung des ökologischen Fußabdrucks des Clubs beitragen wird, sondern auch dazu, die Energieeinsparungen an die Fans weiterzugeben.

Innovation and sustainability
in the stadium

We are absolutely thrilled to be sponsoring Bridlington Town and to have the opportunity to support such a fantastic club! It is a privilege to showcase our world-class, German-made solar mounting solutions throughout the stadium, demonstrating our commitment to excellence and sustainability. This partnership marks the start of an exciting journey for us as we look to increase our brand awareness in the UK and demonstrate our commitment to being a premium provider of innovative and sustainable products in the photovoltaic industry. We pride ourselves not only on the outstanding quality of our installations, but also on our commitment to transparent and ethical business practices. We encourage all solar enthusiasts to choose the best German-made mounts for their installations, as Bridlington Town has done, and support us in our mission for a more sustainable future.

For Mounting Systems, this project is not only a great opportunity to be involved in an environmentally friendly endeavour, but also an excellent platform to showcase our products through extensive in-stadium promotion, we are proud to be part of this innovative project and look forward to the positive impact it will have on both the fans and the environment.

HSE-Management

An interview with our HSE Manager Jeannette Donda

Health, safety and the environment

New HSE department at Mounting Systems: a safe step towards sustainability and health

Since October, we have had a new Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) department in the company. As part of quality management, it ensures compliance with legal requirements in health protection, occupational safety and environmental management. In short, it creates the framework conditions that enable a safe and sustainable working environment from which Mounting Systems and its employees benefit!

As we wanted to find out more about the area, we conducted an interview with Jeannette, our HSE Manager. Below you can find out more about her and her new tasks and how we can all benefit from her and her area of responsibility in the company.

What are you responsible for as HSE Manager?
Für welche Themen bist Du verantwortlich?

Jeannette: I am the central point of contact both internally and externally when it comes to health protection, occupational safety and environmental management. I create standardised processes and framework conditions based on legal requirements. These ensure a safe working environment, healthy employees and a sustainable corporate policy.

Why did you decide to do this?

Jeannette: I love familiarising myself with new tasks and taking on responsibility. My business studies and ten years of self-employment have given me an entrepreneurial mindset. This is necessary in order to recognise risks at an early stage, derive measures and make decisions. On the other hand, it is always important to me to see people, recognise needs and work for the well-being of others.

Have you set yourself any goals? If so, what do they look like?

Jeannette: The specific target images for the individual areas are currently being developed. Irrespective of this, however, I have a vision. And that is that health, safety and environmental responsibility are firmly anchored in our MSY corporate philosophy.

If you had one wish in the work context, what would it be?

Jeannette: My wish is that the framework conditions I have created are filled with life. This means that people understand why it is necessary to integrate this area into everyday working life and how each individual can make their own contribution.

Sustainability has become such a hackneyed word. What does that mean for you in concrete terms?

Jeannette: For me, sustainable means that I consciously and mindfully do things in such a way that they are meaningful in the moment and have a positive long-term impact on the world and everyone involved. A radiance from the present into the future, so to speak.

How do you integrate the topic of sustainability into your private life?

Jeannette: This happens in many different ways. For example, in my interpersonal relationships - with family, friends and at work. Or it manifests itself in my connection to nature or in my respect for our resources. In September, for example, I cycled from Berlin to Usedom with two friends and our bikes - I'm still living on that time and will certainly tell my (great-)grandchildren about it.

Nachhaltigkeit und Karriere vereinen

Training with purpose: combining sustainability and career

Sustainable training

Live your passion

YOLO - ever heard of it? It was the youth word of the year back in 2012 and it's on the list again this year. "You Only Live Once" - you only live once. A perfect motto when it comes to choosing a career. Because life is too short to do a job that you don't enjoy. That's why it's important to find out what suits you before you start your career.

For this reason, we were represented at the Südring Centre's training fair last weekend to advise interested pupils and those looking for training and to provide information about our range of services.

Many young people and adults visited our stand with interest and got talking to us. There was great demand for work placements for school pupils and for our apprenticeships. We have even been successful in receiving the first applications.

Shaping the future

Sustainable education for a better world

But it's not just fun and passion that should play a role when it comes to choosing an apprenticeship. In today's world, it is just as important to pay attention to sustainability. A sustainable education not only helps to protect our environment, but can also bring long-term benefits for your own career and society.

At Mounting Systems GmbH, we consider in-company training to be a key pillar of our sustainability strategy. Our approach aims not only to develop skilled professionals, but also to promote sustainable values and practices that will benefit our company and the environment in the long term.

We are delighted to welcome new trainees to our company again this year. After all, careers in the renewable energy sector not only offer interesting and varied fields of work, but also contribute to making the world a better place. In addition, these professions are often crisis-proof and offer good prospects for the future.

So why not combine the "YOLO" idea with sustainable training? Because if you only live once, you should use this opportunity to do something good not only for yourself, but also for the world.

FIXX the World - United for an environmentally friendly future

FIXX the World - Together for a green future

Sustainable carport solutions

Turning parking lots into green power plants

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.

E-Port FIXX

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.

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!

ETN certification from Mounting Systems sets new standards

Interview: ETN certification sets new standards

ETN certificate for the French market

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:

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 portfolio for 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.
