Team

Stijn Vos, Co-Founder and Principal

Stijn Vos is a Principal at Renard Investments Group where he focuses on strategic investments in sustainable infrastructure and clean energy. He is also the Executive Chairman and Founder of Enstall, having previously served as CEO of the company he built into the world’s largest provider of solar racking and mounting solutions. Under his leadership as CEO, Enstall grew to secure more than 10 Gigawatts of solar on residential, commercial, and industrial roofs annually, employing more than 600 people worldwide. His strategic focus on growth, along with targeted mergers and acquisitions, solidified Enstall’s position as a global leader in solar mounting technology.

Stijn’s career is defined by his commitment to building impactful, sustainable businesses. He identified early on that essential but often-overlooked technologies—such as solar racking and mounting—are crucial to achieving scalable, reliable solar adoption. Through his leadership at Enstall, he integrated key capabilities and expanded the company’s reach by acquiring complementary businesses that enhanced its service offerings and technical expertise. This strategic approach enabled Enstall to provide high-quality, reliable solutions that meet the evolving demands of the global clean energy market.
