HIS RENEWABLES

What HIS RENEWABLES does

HIS Renewables GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of integrated cabling, connection, and energy management solutions for the photovoltaic and distributed-energy value chain, headquartered in Oberzent (Beerfelden area), Germany, with ~400 employees across six European locations and a customer base of over 2,000 in more than 60 countries.

The company operates two product families. HISCONNECT covers PV wiring and interconnection — HIKRA solar cables, HISbox modular DC/AC generator junction boxes with integrated monitoring and surge protection, HISkon MC4 connectors, distributors and inline fuses, and HISkon+ factory-pre-assembled, pre-tested cable harnesses engineered to reduce on-site labor and total project cost by up to 20%. HISENERGY covers downstream energy infrastructure — HISbatt industrial lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery storage systems spanning compact C&I units to utility-scale containers and 800 V powerpacks, HISems energy management software combining peak shaving, PV self-consumption optimization, EV charging orchestration, and energy trading, and EVtap commercial AC/DC EV charging (11 kW to 420 kW) with bidirectional capability. Products are certified to ISO 9001/14001, TÜV 2 PfG 2750 (floating PV), EN50618, IEC62930, VDE-AR-N 4105, and CPR standards, and are manufactured in Germany.

HIS Renewables generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales to EPCs, project developers, and industrial end-users under a quotation-driven, project-specific pricing model with a €150 net minimum order value, copper metal surcharges, and EXW terms. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales — regional Key Account Managers covering Germany, BeNeLux, Spain/Portugal/South America, Turkey/Middle East, and France/Poland — with distribution through major solar wholesalers including BayWa r.e., EWS, Febesol, and Stäubli, supported by trade show presence at Intersolar, Genera, Solar & Storage Live Paris, Sustainable Solutions Düsseldorf, and Energaia. The company is led by CEO Güven Altun, appears to be organically grown with no disclosed external investors or acquisitions, and has been expanding from PV components into integrated storage, EMS, and EV charging under a refreshed corporate identity.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Phoenix Contact: Global leader in industrial electrical connectivity, surge protection, and energy system components. Compares to HIS because Phoenix Contact serves the same solar combiner-box and inverter-adjacent market with a much broader product portfolio spanning industrial automation.
• ABB: Global electrification, motion, and process automation incumbent. Broad overlap with HIS in solar inverters/BoS, BESS, and one of the largest EV-charging portfolios (ABB E-mobility), targeting similar utility and C&I customers from a vastly larger balance sheet.
• Schneider Electric: Global electrical equipment, energy management, and EV-charging incumbent. Broad incumbent overlap with HIS across EMS (Schneider EcoStruxure), battery storage, and EV charging (EVlink) targeting the same commercial and industrial customer base.
• SMA Solar Technology: German solar inverter and energy management specialist. Broader incumbent in the same renewable energy infrastructure stack as HIS, with deeper penetration on the inverter side that complementarily drives demand for HIS's cabling and storage components.

Direct peers

• Stäubli: Swiss manufacturer of MC4 electrical connectors and PV connection systems. Direct peer because HIS's HISkon line carries competing MC4 connectors and the two companies overlap in solar electrical connection products, even while serving as partners on integrated solutions.
• Weidmüller: German specialist in industrial electrical connectivity, combiner boxes, and PV system components. Direct competitor to HIS's HISbox generator junction boxes and HISkon connector portfolio for utility-scale and C&I solar projects.
• Lapp Group: German manufacturer of industrial and solar cables (Ölflex, Epic Solar). Direct cable peer to HIS's HIKRA brand, both serving PV installers and EPC customers with EN50618-certified conductors for utility and rooftop applications.
• Huber+Suhner: Swiss manufacturer of electrical and optical connectivity, including specialty cables for solar and renewable-energy applications. Comparable to HIS as a European cable and connectivity specialist serving solar BoS markets.
• Leoni AG: European specialty cable and wiring-systems manufacturer with solar and EV-charging product lines. Direct peer in cables for renewable energy infrastructure and adjacent e-mobility applications.
• Wieland Electric: German manufacturer of industrial electrical installation and connection systems. Comparable to HIS as a mid-sized German specialist selling pluggable installation systems, distribution components, and pre-assembled solutions into industrial and renewable energy customers.
