What Blubase does
Blubase B.V. is a Netherlands-based supplier of solar panel mounting systems headquartered in Zwolle, with a branch office in Rijswijk. The company designs and sells steel mounting systems for pitched roofs (RoBoost, Classic, Next) and flat roofs (Connect, Connect XL, RoFast), plus the QS PV-Anchor ballast-free anchoring solution. Its products are validated through wind tunnel testing and KIWA certification and carry a 20-year warranty.
Blubase sells directly to medium-sized and large professional solar installers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, with bulk or per-project deliveries and a consultative sales approach supported by a proprietary project calculator (the BluBase Calculator) that generates material lists and ballast plans in four steps and supports direct ordering. Smaller installers are reached through a distribution partner network that maintains local stock for quick supply. Secondary markets include Denmark, France, and Spain.
The company was formed in 2013 from the merger of Solar Construct Nederland (Maasdijk) and Solarstell (Zwolle), and has been a subsidiary of Enstall — a diversified solar group with seven brands across the US and Europe and 25 GW+ of installed solar modules — since October 2024, when Enstall integrated its European entities (Esdec, BluBase, Sunfer) into a broader European Enstall structure. Reported customer base spans mid-market installers such as Solar Concept, Econic, PV Systems, P. Jansen Installatietechniek, MB Zonnepanelen, and JustPlugin, plus enterprise end-customers including Geurts Betonstaal, ABC Arkenbouw, and Van der Valk.

Blubase competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Schletter Group: Schletter is a German-based manufacturer of solar mounting systems for rooftops and ground-mounts, with a long-established European installer customer base. Its pitched- and flat-roof product lines, certification regime, and engineering-led positioning closely mirror Blubase's value proposition in the same core geographies.
- Esdec: Esdec is a Dutch-based solar mounting systems manufacturer and a direct sibling under the Enstall group. It sells flat-roof and pitched-roof mounting solutions through a similar installer channel in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, making it the closest direct competitor to Blubase in product, geography and go-to-market.
- Mounting Systems GmbH (by Stäubli): Mounting Systems (now part of Stäubli) is a German/European manufacturer of pitched-roof, flat-roof and ground-mount PV structures. It sells engineered, certified mounting hardware into the same professional installer and EPC channel as Blubase across Europe.
- Van der Valk Solar Systems: Van der Valk is a Dutch manufacturer of solar mounting systems for pitched and flat roofs, serving professional installers across Northwestern Europe. Overlap with Blubase is strong in product range (roof hooks, flat-roof systems), target customer (installers) and primary geography (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany).
- K2 Systems: K2 Systems is a German designer and manufacturer of mounting systems for pitched, flat and ground-mounted solar PV. It serves European installers through a comparable direct-and-distributor model with its own digital planning tools (K2 Base), directly paralleling Blubase's product portfolio and calculator-driven sales approach.
- Sunfer: Sunfer is a Spanish solar mounting systems manufacturer that is also part of the Enstall group. It produces pitched- and flat-roof structures primarily for the Iberian and broader European market, making it a direct sibling/competitor to Blubase with overlapping product lines and a similar installer channel model.
- Solarmax (Razberi) / Renusol: Renusol is a European manufacturer of pitched- and flat-roof solar mounting systems, including ballast-optimized solutions. It targets professional installers with certified, quick-install hardware and competes with Blubase in flat-roof and commercial-rooftop segments across Germany, the Netherlands and neighboring markets.
Regional players
- Quick Mount PV: Quick Mount PV is a US manufacturer of rooftop solar mounting and attachment solutions. It is comparable to Blubase in offering installer-focused, code-compliant roof attachments, but operates predominantly in the US residential and commercial market.
- RBI Solar: RBI Solar is a US-based manufacturer of solar mounting structures for commercial and utility rooftops. It is comparable to Blubase as a rooftop mounting specialist with engineered systems, but primarily serves the North American installer channel rather than Europe.
Broad incumbents
- PV Hardware (PVH): PVH is a Spanish-headquartered, large-scale solar tracker and fixed-tilt mounting manufacturer serving utility and commercial PV projects globally. While more focused on utility-scale than Blubase's rooftop focus, it is a relevant incumbent in the broader European PV mounting and structures category.
