AB Energia Establishes AVIISII Electric Systems to Manufacture Solar Mounting Structures

AB Energia, a Mumbai-based company, announced Friday the launch of its new subsidiary, AVIISII Electric Systems Pvt. Ltd., marking its entry into the manufacturing of fixed-tilt steel structures for ground-mounted solar power plants.

The move is a strategic step for AB Energia, allowing the company to gain direct control over the quality, reliability, and cost of a critical component in solar projects. By producing its own steel mounting structures—which typically account for 7-8% of total engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) costs—the company aims to improve supply timelines and cost efficiency.

Beyond supplying its own EPC projects, the new subsidiary will also sell to third-party contractors, creating a new revenue stream and boosting profitability.

Siddharth Bhatia, Managing Director of AB Energia, emphasized the importance of the new venture. "In a solar power plant, steel mounting structures are the foundation that determines the plant’s longevity, safety, and performance," Bhatia said. "If the structure is not engineered to precise standards, it can compromise panel alignment, reduce energy yield, and even cause catastrophic damage under extreme weather."

He added that with AVIISII, the company can now ensure the use of high-quality materials and precision engineering, creating durable structures that can "withstand decades of wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations."
