Magnelis®: The ultimate test in an open-air laboratory
27 June 2024Alusín Solar, a Spanish manufacturer of solar structures, and ArcelorMittal have been working together for some time to provide the renewable energy sector with innovative and durable solutions for photovoltaic panel supporting structures. Alusín Solar uses Magnelis® coated steel from ArcelorMittal Europe - Flat Products to manufacture its mounting systems and has tested it several times in the past.
Product newsSteel partnership helps make PV sector more sustainable
14 May 2024A unique collaboration between ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products, KS Service Center, and Van der Valk Solar Systems is creating sustainable solar panel mounting systems that are available in Europe. The systems are produced using Magnelis® coated steel sourced with accompanying XCarb® green steel certificates from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products. The steel is transported to KS Service Center using electric vehicles wherever possible. It is processed by KS Service Center and their chain partner KS Systems using machines that are powered by 100% renewable electricity.

Solar
Generating, storing, and having solar electricity at our disposal is one the most difficult challenges of this century.
Useful information
MoreThere are two ways of converting solar power into electricity. Either directly, by using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly, using concentrated solar power (CSP). The market has developed two different solar generation systems:
- Ground-mounted systems
- Building systems for roofing (residential and semi-industrial)
Magnelis®
Magnelis® supports efforts to generate clean and renewable energy by offering advanced corrosion protection for solar installations. Magnelis® is the preferred coating solution for both concentrated solar power (CSP) farms and ground-mounted structural solutions for photovoltaic (PV) solar farms. It offers increased durability and the best possible protection against corrosion and abrasion.
Magnelis® extends the life of solar structures so operators can maximise the return on their investment.
The features listed below are key advantages of these applications:
- Guaranteed durability up to 25 years
- Improved resistance against abrasion
- Effective resistance against corrosion, even when placed in soil
- Wide range both in thickness and steel grade, including high strength steel grades beyond European standard performances
- Cost effective
- Quick installation
- Reduced environmental impact
ArcelorMittal is committed to offering best in class solutions for solar energy production.
