PIKIP SOLAR SPEAKERS

What PIKIP SOLAR SPEAKERS does

PikiP Solar Speakers is an independent French manufacturer of solar-powered sound systems and battery energy generators, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Marseille. The company designs and builds two integrated product ranges for the cultural and event-production industries: an Acoustics range (Stage LT, Stage, DJ Booth, and Motion series of acoustic modules, scalable from small events up to audiences of 2,000 people) and an Energy range (SE3000/SE5000/SE10000 battery stations, AEA and DC/AC amplifiers, and FlyPV1700/PV800 solar stations). Its core technical differentiator is a dual acoustic-and-energy co-design methodology embodied in the proprietary DUAL POWER SUPPLY rack, which integrates conversion, MPPT solar charging, and LiFePO4 storage in a single unit alongside Class D amplification with 96 kHz DSP and ESS/Power Assist functions.

The company generates revenue through quote-based equipment sales, equipment leasing arranged via financial partner HAXOLEASING over 24-60 month terms, custom engineering and on-site integration services under the PikiP Custom & Intégration sub-brand, and accessories. Its go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct B2B sales from Marseille with a regional partner network covering 13 named French regions, an Australian distributor (WildLive), and export availability. Customers are predominantly event professionals, cultural venues, festivals, concert-tour production companies, and design studios; named references include Le Makeda, La Friche la Belle de Mai, Le Bon Air Festival, Alabama Production, WildLive and designer Paul Emilieu. R&D is supported by formal collaborations with IMDEA Acoustics and CNRS's LMA laboratory, while component supply rests on partnerships with Powersoft and Victron Energy.

Core offering

PIKIP Solar Speakers designs and manufactures autonomous solar-powered sound systems and battery energy stations for professional events and cultural venues. The product portfolio includes point-source and line-source acoustic modules (Stage LT, Stage, DJ Booth, Motion series), battery energy generators (SE3000, SE5000, SE10000), amplifiers (AEA, DC/AC), and mobile solar stations (FlyPV 1700, PV800), plus a Custom & Integration service. The company builds the complete electroacoustic chain—from amplifier to speaker—and integrates solar generation with battery storage to enable off-grid, zero-direct-emission operation.

Product overview

PikiP Solar Speakers is a manufacturer of autonomous solar-powered sound systems and battery energy generators for the cultural and events industry. The product portfolio comprises two integrated ranges: the Acoustics Range (Stage LT, Stage, DJ Booth, and Motion series of speakers and sound systems) and the Energy Range (SE3000/SE5000/SE10000 battery stations, AEA and DC/AC amplifiers, and FlyPV1700/PV800 solar stations). The Acoustics modules are designed to work standalone or synergistically with the Energy modules to achieve total grid independence. Custom & Integration services enable bespoke solutions. Together, these products allow professionals to create high-quality events without diesel generators or grid connection.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• L-Acoustics: French-founded global leader in professional sound systems for live events and touring. Both companies serve the professional event audio market with high-performance systems; PikiP differentiates through solar/grid-independence while L-Acoustics focuses on premium grid-powered acoustic performance.
• Aggreko: Global leader in temporary and mobile power generation, including events, festivals, and industrial sites. Both serve event and temporary installation power needs; Aggreko provides large-scale diesel/temporary generators while PikiP offers zero-emission battery-solar alternatives for the same applications.
• Adamson Systems Engineering: Canadian professional loudspeaker manufacturer for touring and installation markets. Both serve professional event audio with high-performance PA systems; PikiP specializes in solar-autonomous event systems while Adamson focuses on large-format touring and installation audio.
• d&b audiotechnik: German manufacturer of professional audio systems for concerts, touring, and installations. Both serve professional event production with high-quality PA systems; PikiP's autonomous solar-powered approach contrasts with d&b's grid-dependent, premium acoustic positioning.
• NEXO (Yamaha): French professional loudspeaker manufacturer owned by Yamaha, serving touring, installation, and corporate events. Both companies design professional PA systems with French heritage; PikiP's autonomous solar-powered niche contrasts with NEXO's broader grid-powered pro audio portfolio.

Emerging players

• Goal Zero: Portable solar power and battery generator specialist serving outdoor, emergency, and event markets. Both companies integrate solar PV with battery storage; PikiP differentiates through professional event-audio-specific integrated systems versus Goal Zero's broader portable power portfolio.
• Jackery: Major portable solar power station manufacturer with expanding professional and outdoor event products. Both deliver battery-solar generator solutions; PikiP's specialized event-audio integration contrasts with Jackery's general-purpose consumer and outdoor positioning.
• EcoFlow: Well-funded portable power station and solar generator company expanding into higher-wattage professional applications. Both produce integrated battery-solar energy systems; PikiP focuses on event-audio integration while EcoFlow serves broader consumer/prosumer portable power markets.

Others

• Victron Energy: Dutch power conversion, battery, and energy management specialist supplying PikiP's MPPT solar charge controllers and battery systems. As a key component supplier and adjacent ecosystem participant in off-grid and renewable energy, Victron enables PikiP's energy autonomy but is not a direct competitor.
• Powersoft: Italian professional amplifier manufacturer and PikiP's core component supplier for Class D amplification. While Powersoft sells to a broader pro-audio market as a supplier, the partnership and amplifier integration in PikiP systems makes it a critical technology enabler and adjacent ecosystem participant.
