Mounting Systems

What Mounting Systems does

Mounting Systems is a German-engineered producer of substructures for photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems, originally founded in 1993 and now operating as a brand under France-based Dome Solar following a March 2026 acquisition by the Kingspan Group subsidiary. The company designs and manufactures modular, ballasted, and aerodynamically optimized mounting systems for flat roofs, pitched roofs, parking lot carports, and ground-mounted installations. Its flagship product families—LightX (lightweight ballasted systems) and FD3 Premium Line (next-generation flat roof systems with universal components, wind tunnel-tested aerodynamics, and quick-lock connections)—are complemented by pitched roof lines (NPA+, NPO+, Ital-Solar, Helios B2, Fibro-Solar) and the Hélios RC3 carport system. Following the Dome Solar transaction, the portfolio has expanded to include Roof-Solar membrane-specific solutions (Bitumen, PVC, TPO, Evalon, Green-PV, M-Fix) brought in from the parent.

The company serves B2B customers including solar installers, EPCs, wholesalers, and project planners through direct sales and channel partners across more than 70 countries, with regional export teams covering Iberia, Poland & Central/Eastern Europe, and Morocco. Technology differentiation centers on wind tunnel-tested aerodynamic optimization, modular construction, all-metal corrosion-resistant materials, and pre-assembled components that reduce installation time. The Roof-Solar and SolarFix product lines employ mechanical fixation or hybrid ballast/anchor solutions that avoid penetrating waterproofing membranes—a key technical and economic advantage on commercial flat roofs where membrane warranties are at stake. Certifications referenced include ISO 9001, EN 1090, and MCS, supporting specification into regulated European C&I and utility-scale projects.

Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales on a quote-based procurement model, with no public pricing disclosure. The combined Dome Solar/Mounting Systems organization employs approximately 100 people across three industrial sites in France, while the Mounting Systems brand retains historical operations in Rangsdorf, Germany. Marketing and distribution are supported by a multilingual digital platform in 8 languages, a 3D digital showroom, and a YouTube channel of installation tutorials. With 8,000+ completed projects and 13 GW of installed PV capacity accumulated over 30+ years, the brand is now positioned within the Kingspan Group (Dome Solar's parent since 2020), which provides capital backing, supply chain scale, and cross-selling potential across Kingspan's building envelope portfolio.

Core offering

Mounting Systems designs, manufactures, and sells substructure hardware and mounting systems for photovoltaic (PV) installations. The portfolio covers flat roof systems (LightX and FD3 Premium Line), pitched roof systems (NPA+, NPO+, Ital-Solar, Helios B2, Fibro-Solar), carport structures (Hélios RC3), and membrane-specific flat roof solutions (Roof-Solar series). Products are sold B2B to solar installers, EPCs, wholesalers, and project planners across more than 70 countries, supported by export managers, design software, and digital tools.

Product overview

Mounting Systems offers a comprehensive portfolio of photovoltaic mounting systems for flat roofs, pitched roofs, and solar carports. The product line centers on two flagship flat roof systems: LightX (lightweight ballasted solutions with Speed variant for rapid installation) and FD3 Premium Line (next-generation aerodynamically-optimized systems available in South, East-West, and SolarFix hybrid configurations). For pitched roofs, the portfolio includes NPA+ Side/Top, NPO+ (with Tilt variant), Ital-Solar, Helios B2, and Fibro-Solar systems. Following the March 2026 acquisition by Dome Solar, Mounting Systems expanded to include Roof-Solar membrane-specific solutions (Bitumen, PVC, TPO, Evalon, Green-PV, M-Fix) and the Hélios RC3 carport system. All products emphasize German engineering precision, corrosion-resistant materials (aluminum, stainless steel, Zamak), and ease of installation.
