Rooftop solar mounting solutions provider Enstall has acquired Schletter Group, a global manufacturer of photovoltaic mounting systems.

The acquisition, finalised on December 31, allows Enstall to expand into the ground-mounted solar segment and establish the company as a “one-stop-shop global solar mounting powerhouse”, the companies said in a statement.

“The partnership with Enstall will strengthen the combined innovation capabilities and enable us to serve our customers with a broader portfolio of products and digital solutions globally,” said Schletter’s CEO Florian Roos. The acquisition also involves plans to invest further in research and development.

Schletter Group has been in South Africa since 2011 – serving the sub-Saharan market from Cape Town since 2013.
