Amiston

What Amiston does

Amiston Sp. z o.o. is a Polish designer and manufacturer of photovoltaic carports and ground-mount solar steel structures, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Opole, Poland, with primary production in Łambinowice and a secondary warehouse/production site in Opole established in April 2023. The company sells a broad portfolio of carport product lines (BASIC, URBAN, EASYPARK, MEGA, FUSION, NANO, NEXUS, VECTOR, SIDEWAY, and the 2026-launched TITAN Y), the IMPACT ground-mounted shelter, four ground-mount racking systems (DV vertical, DH horizontal, WZ east-west, SV single-support), and the proprietary GroundForce screw pile foundation system. Core technology centers on galvanized structural steel and Magnelis®-coated steel, advanced in-house CAD/CAE static calculations tailored to local wind and snow zones (Eurocode compliance, EN 1090-1/2 execution class EXC3), and the proprietary ESI Planner 3D configurator; the GroundForce system enables carport assembly in as little as one day without concrete, heavy machinery, or parking closures. Since founding the company has completed over 700 installations, ~20,000 covered parking spaces, and ~60 MW of cumulative installed capacity across Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic.

Amiston operates a sales-led, hybrid-segment go-to-market with dedicated regional sales representatives across all 16 Polish voivodeships, a German-language sales contact for the DACH market, a five-language website (Polish, English, German, Czech, French), authorized installation partners, and its own delivery fleet supplemented by logistics partners. Customer segments span Commercial & Industrial B2B (the primary segment), Residential B2C, Agriculture, Hospitality, Government & Public Sector, and PV Industry Professionals (B2B installer channel). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of structures and foundations, professional installation services, and a growing online accessories channel for aluminum sealing profiles, inverter mounting systems, and gutter components. Pricing is quote-based; residential units are listed in the PLN 35,000-55,000 range, B2B commercial projects scale to the 0.7-1.0 MW level with documented engineering cost optimizations of up to 75% (TITAN Y Germany), and EV charging integration is positioned as an adjacent energy-services revenue lever. Amiston is a privately held, founder/owner-operated company — Managing Director Paweł Serafin — without disclosed external funding rounds.

Direct peers

• Renusol: Renusol is a European manufacturer of PV mounting systems for pitched roofs, flat roofs, and ground-mount arrays, headquartered in Germany. It competes with Amiston in the ground-mount and racking segment and is regularly specified alongside K2 and Schletter in European tenders.
• Schletter Group: Schletter is a German-headquartered manufacturer of solar mounting systems for pitched roofs, flat roofs, and ground-mount projects, with a global footprint. Its product range overlaps Amiston's DV/DH/WZ/SV ground-mount systems and shading/carport solutions, making it a direct peer in PV racking.
• novotegra (BayWa r.e.): novotegra is the in-house mounting system brand of BayWa r.e., one of Europe's largest solar EPCs and distributors. It supplies pitched-roof and flat-roof PV racking through wholesale channels, directly competing with Amiston for installer and EPC procurement contracts.
• K2 Systems: K2 Systems is one of Europe's largest solar mounting and racking manufacturers with a strong footprint in Germany, Poland and adjacent markets. It competes directly with Amiston in ground-mount and rooftop PV structures and is the most natural direct comparison for Amiston's structure portfolio.
• WDT (Werner Diemer): WDT is a German specialist in solar carports and substructures, producing prefabricated parking solar canopies. Its product focus on PV carports most closely mirrors Amiston's core product, including integrated foundations and Europe-wide project execution.
• Esdec (Mounting Systems): Esdec owns the Mounting Systems brand and supplies flat-roof and ground-mount PV mounting solutions across Europe and North America. Its scale and project-driven sales model parallel Amiston's structure supply business, especially in C&I and utility-scale segments.

Emerging players

• Carport-Solar GmbH: Carport-Solar is a German specialist in complete PV carport systems for residential and commercial parking lots. It is a niche peer focused exclusively on solar carports, similar in product but smaller in scale than Amiston's wider portfolio.
• CWF (Christoph Wirth GmbH): CWF is a German producer of solar carport and parking-canopy systems for commercial and municipal customers. Its product overlap with Amiston's commercial and government-segment carports makes it a relevant emerging peer despite a smaller international footprint.

Regional players

• ML System: ML System is a publicly listed Polish manufacturer of BIPV glass, photovoltaic roofing, and integrated solar building components. It is a regional peer that addresses overlapping Polish demand for solar-integrated roofing, though with a glass/BIPV rather than steel-carport approach.

Others

• EJOT Solar Fastening Systems: EJOT supplies specialised fasteners and mounting hardware used in PV installations across Europe. It is an adjacent supplier/complementor rather than a direct competitor, but sells into the same installer and EPC channel that Amiston targets.
