Solar boom

How Magnelis^® is helping to fuel Eastern Europe’s increase in renewable energy

Scroll down to read article

Government incentives and lower infrastructure costs are driving the boom in solar energy across Eastern Europe. Magnelis^®, from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products, is increasing the attractiveness of solar for investors as it extends the lifespan of solar farms.

Magnelis^® enables Energy5 to offer long guarantees – vital to ensure payback on the cost of solar installations

Two of Poland’s largest manufacturers of photovoltaic support systems are Energy5 and Corab. Both use Magnelis^® to create long-lasting solar farms which will generate clean energy for decades to come. In solar farm applications, ArcelorMittal offers long-term guarantees on Magnelis^® of up to 25 years. This ensures that new solar farms will provide an adequate return on the investment over their lifetime. Both Corab and Energy5 are using the advantages of Magnelis^® to move beyond Poland and explore opportunities in nearby countries, and even further afield.

“We had tested Magnelis^® at the Institute of Precision Mechanics in Warsaw (Poland),” explains Piotr Żbikowski, President of the Energy5 Management Board. “But a meeting with ArcelorMittal confirmed the outstanding corrosion resistance of Magnelis^®. We knew it would be a game changer.”

“At Corab, we decided to utilise Magnelis^® for its strength, exceptional anti-corrosion properties, self-healing on cut edges, and long guarantees,” says Henryk Biały, CEO of Corab. “Magnelis^® is now the backbone of our installations and one of our main competitive advantages.”

Lighter and stronger photovoltaic solutions

Henryk Biały believes that Magnelis^® has completely changed the solar industry in Eastern Europe. “Thanks to Magnelis^®, solar systems have become lighter, stronger, and more resistant to mechanical and chemical damage.”

Production and product development support

Both Energy5 and Corab rely on support and new product development from ArcelorMittal to get the most out of Magnelis^®. “We set new trends by constantly looking for innovative solutions that will allow us to deliver the safest photovoltaic mounting systems on the market,” says Piotr Żbikowski.
