What are users mounting their Inverters , Charge Controllers and associated equipment on . I am in Spain and getting anything other than Wood or Steel sheet is very difficult .

This isn't what I did, but if I was doing it all over again, I would do it that way.

I used cement board over plywood (helps with mounting) over drywall.

You should be able to find fire rated drywall (plaster board, sheetrock) to put over plywood for mounting strength.
