Steel, indispensable in solar panels
- Steel: the silent force behind solar energy
Steel plays a crucial role in solar energy. Not only is the sturdy support structure that holds the solar panels made of steel, but so are the profiles and frames around the solar panels themselves. They provide stability, strength, and protection against the elements; a sleek finish that keeps the panels securely in place for years to come. Without steel, there would be no solar panels—and without solar panels, there would be no sustainable energy. - Magnelis® steel extends the service life of solar panels
The structure on which the panels rest is made of Magnelis® steel, steel with a corrosion-resistant coating and self-healing properties, ideal for harsh environments such as solar panels on a roof. Thanks to innovative steel grades such as Magnelis® and the complete recyclability of steel, solar panel systems not only contribute to green energy, but also to a circular future. - Over 43,000 solar panels at our sites
Across our production halls in Ghent, Geel, Genk, and Liège you'll find no fewer than 43,454 solar panels, representing a capacity of 16,640 kWp and generating an annual output of 13,780 MWh.
