What Pegasus Solar does

Pegasus Solar Inc., founded in 2012 by CEO Kai Stephan and headquartered in Richmond, California, designs and manufactures rooftop solar racking and mounting hardware for residential and commercial/industrial (C&I) installers. The core technology stack centers on the Pegasus Rail System (with integrated bonding, no-tool splicing, and built-in wire management), the SkipRail clamp (which eliminates entire rows of rail), InstaFlash and InstaFlash2 roof attachments with factory-installed sealant and a $5,000 Leakproof Guarantee, the BondBox integrated grounding junction box, and a commercial portfolio that includes the FX ultra-lightweight flat-roof system, S-Base, SN2, S System, and G-Base ground mount. The company holds 18 granted US and international patents and maintains certifications including UL2703, UL3741, ASCE 7-16/7-22, and Florida HVHZ approvals (FL41396, FL46082). Software and services include the Glide design platform (free to customers, integrated with Aurora and Scanifly) and Full Permit Pack services with 24-hour turnaround. The company also offers a certified installer training program and a domestic-content product line qualifying for the IRA 10% bonus credit.

Pegasus sells exclusively through a network of 130+ stocking distributors across the US and Canada, reaching 33 states, supported by a 100,000 sq ft Richmond warehouse with 99.5% of orders shipped within 48 hours. Hardware sales form the core revenue stream; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is distributor- and project-quote-driven. The customer base is composed of residential and C&I solar installers, with named enterprise references including Semper Solaris and Sun Valley Solar Solutions. As of 2022, the company had shipped more than 5 million units and supported nearly 1 gigawatt of installed solar capacity, with zero reported roof leaks or product failures.

Recent strategic priorities include launching the FX commercial system (September 2025), upgrading InstaFlash2, qualifying products for the IRA domestic-content bonus, and acquiring Aerocompact's North American division in January 2026 to deepen C&I market presence and absorb the S-Base, SN2, G-Base, and S System product lines into Pegasus's distribution footprint.

Core offering

Pegasus Solar designs, manufactures, and distributes solar racking and mounting hardware for residential, commercial, and industrial rooftop and ground-mount photovoltaic installations. The company sells rail systems, roof attachments (InstaFlash, InstaFlash2, Comp Mount, tile mounts), flat-roof tilt systems, ground-mount systems, and complementary accessories (BondBox, MLPE bracket, wire management) primarily through a 130+ stocking distributor network in the U.S. and Canada. Pegasus also offers the Glide design platform and Full Permit Pack services to streamline installer workflows.

Product overview

Pegasus Solar is a solar racking and mounting systems manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of products across residential, commercial, and industrial segments. The core product line includes the Pegasus Rail System for residential rooftops, complemented by innovative mounting solutions like InstaFlash2 (with its industry-first $5,000 Leakproof Guarantee), SkipRail (eliminating entire rows of rail for 25% material savings), and various tile and flat roof mounts. Commercial offerings span S BASE, SN2, S System, G Base (ground mount), and the ultra-lightweight FX System. The company also provides an integrated software platform called Glide for design-to-permit workflow, plus permit services and installer certification training. Following the January 2026 acquisition of Aerocompact's North American division, Pegasus expanded its commercial flat roof and ground mount portfolio.
