Aerocompact

Aerocompact is an Austrian corporate brand specializing in photovoltaic (PV) mounting and racking systems. Founded in 2014 by Mathias Muther, the company is headquartered in Satteins, Vorarlberg, and has grown into an internationally active provider of substructures for solar panels on flat roofs, pitched roofs, metal roofs, and ground-mounted installations. Its product families include COMPACTFLAT, COMPACTMETAL, and S_BASE, along with the proprietary AEROTOOL digital planning platform and AEROTOOL.CAD plug-in. The company describes itself as a 360° provider, offering planning software, engineering services, and mounting hardware to solar engineers, project developers, and wholesalers. Aerocompact's founding idea was an innovative bracket system that reduced the material required for PV substructures by a third. This S-Bracket, introduced in 2014, was followed by a specially developed visualization and planning software, AEROTOOL, which the company says has become the world's leading platform in its market segment. Aerocompact's mounting solutions are aerodynamically optimized and patent-protected, tested to high industry standards for wind and snow loads. The company operates out of 14 locations globally, with sales offices across Europe and a main office in Satteins, Austria. Its products have been installed in over 60 countries. In 2024, Trilantic Europe acquired a 60% stake in the Aerocompact Group, with the remaining 40% held by the founder's private foundation. The company reported total revenue exceeding 100 million euros for the first time in 2023. In 2025, Pegasus acquired the North American division of Aerocompact. Aerocompact continues to expand its product lines, recently launching innovations such as the S_BASE click-in mounting system, the COMPACTFLAT SN 2 Q PLUS for portrait-mode flat roof installations, and new products for trapezoidal sheet metal roofs under the COMPACTMETAL family.

Aerocompact was founded in 2014 by Mathias Muther in Satteins, Vorarlberg, Austria. The company's founding innovation was the S-Bracket, a bracket system for mounting solar panels that reduced the material required for photovoltaic substructures by a third. This was followed by the development of AEROTOOL, a proprietary visualization and planning software that allows solar systems to be planned quickly and easily while taking structural requirements into account. According to the company, AEROTOOL has become the world's leading platform in its market segment. From its establishment, Aerocompact Group grew far above the industry average. The company expanded its product portfolio to include mounting solutions for flat roofs, pitched roofs, metal roofs, and ground-mounted installations, all aerodynamically optimized and patent-protected. By 2023, Aerocompact had achieved total revenue exceeding 100 million euros for the first time. In January 2024, Trilantic Europe, a private equity firm, acquired a 60% stake in the Aerocompact Group, with the remaining 40% held by the founder's private foundation. Production takes place in Satteins, Nüziders, and Bulgaria. In 2025, Pegasus acquired the North American division of Aerocompact. The company continues to innovate, launching products such as the S_BASE click-in mounting system, the COMPACTFLAT SN 2 Q PLUS for portrait-mode flat roof installations, and new additions to the COMPACTMETAL family for trapezoidal sheet metal roofs. Aerocompact operates out of 14 locations globally, with sales offices throughout Europe and a main office in Satteins, Austria. Its products have been installed in over 60 countries worldwide.
