ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
The steel is produced using a minimum of 75-percent scrap steel and 100-percent renewable electricity at ArcelorMittal Sestao (Spain). By using XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel, BP2 has created one of the most environmentally friendly roofing solutions available today. It’s also aesthetically pleasing as the solar panels are incorporated into the roof.
“SOLROOF is an integrated photovoltaic roofing system developed in response to growing demand for clean energy while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing roof,” explains Paweł Musiał, Deputy Chief Sales Officer at BP2 Group. “The panels are made from XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel from ArcelorMittal. This product contributes significantly to lowering the carbon footprint of construction, in line with European Union requirements for low CO2 emissions.”
One of the distinguishing features of the SOLROOF system is the colour matching of the FIT VOLT panels with other components of the roof. “This ensures excellent aesthetics,” says Paweł Musiał. “The high visual quality of the solution is ensured by the consistent repeatability of the colour, its high corrosion resistance, and the guarantee provided by BP2.”

Panels are linked together in the SOLROOF system to create a watertight, energy generating roof.
As BP2’s strategic partner, ArcelorMittal has played a crucial role in the development of the SOLROOF integrated photovoltaic roof explains Paweł Musiał: “The visual features of the steel provided by ArcelorMittal are immediately apparent, such as colour consistency and repeatability. Other features are not so obvious, but are equally important. For example, the FIT VOLT panels are made from XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel which has excellent performance characteristics that perfectly match the needs of our innovative solution.”
