Which steel is best for PV mounting?

To do so, it requires a robust supporting structure made from high-quality steel with effective corrosion protection. With ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar, thyssenkrupp Steel now offering high-performance, zinc-magnesium-coated steels for PV mounting systems – durable, robust and sustainable.

What is the best corrosion protection for solar mounting structures?

Your contacts when it comes to high-performance corrosion protection for solar mounting structures: Arne Schreiber, Product Management and Jennifer Schulz, Surface Development. ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar offers several advantages compared to pure zinc coatings.

What is Zm ecoprotect ® solar?

With ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar, we are clearly offering extra sustainability. It conserves resources through reduced use of zinc, it is 100 percent recyclable, and the entire portfolio is also available as bluemint ® Steel – our high-quality flat steel with reduced CO 2 intensity and the same excellent material and processing properties.

Why is ZnO important in photovoltaic applications?

The ZnO acts as electron transport material, thereby it plays a major role in all the emerging third-generation PV devices. The ZnO thin films have manifold properties to make it interesting in photovoltaic applications.

Will ZnO-based PV devices be sustainable?

Further, the progress in achieving a cost-effective method of producing high quality ZnO with good reproducibility and the further development of a sustainable and environment friendly green method in this regard will definitely lead to socio-economic, efficient, and reliable ZnO-based PV devices in the near future.

What metals can be used for EOL c-Si PV panels?

The thermodynamic evaluations indicate that solvent metals of aluminum, copper, zinc, and iron can efficiently eliminate the typical impurity elements contained in the EoL c-Si PV panels, including the typical dopants and the metal electrodes.
