When
an opportunity presents itself, you should take
advantage
of it.
The Italian company Marcegaglia did just that
in 2007 when it realised that the steel roofing
system already produced by the company (insulating
panels and corrugate sheets) was aperfect fit
for certain applications of building integrated photovoltaics.
That was the starting point of Brollo Solar,
Marcegaglia's complete and fully integrated photovoltaic
solution for large roofs employing amorphous
silicon thin-film technology. |
Marcegaglia
was founded in 1959 by Steno Marcegaglia, steel
being the only business area. And steel still
is the biggest unit at Marcegaglia, generating
88 % of its € 4.2 billion turnover. But today the group, fully owned by the
Marcegaglia family and headquartered in Gazoldo degli Ippoliti, Mantova (Italy),
is organized into seven business areas: steel, building, home products. engineering,
energy. tourism, services. Marcegaglia operates worldwide, employs 6,500 people
and maintains 50 manufacturing plants. where 5.500 kilometres of carbon and
stainless steel products are manufactured every day, serving more-than 12,000
customers.
As the French incentive law guarantees the higest
feed-in tariffs for BIPV worldwide, Marcegaglia
considers Brollo Solar to be the perfect product
for the French market. Suited for the Iarge roofs
of industrial and commercial buildings (even
with low pitch, such as industrial plants, shopping
centres and sport venues) and farming-zootechnical
structures, Brollo Solar is dedicated to compagnie
who want want to invest in th production of eleatica
Energy using photovoltaic technology. Quality
raw materials are used to produce a certified
product and a system with guaranteed long-term
performance. Flexibility during design and concstruction,
its resi stance to weather conditions and the
excellent performances are further advantages
of Brollo Solar. As a world--leading industrial
group that converts steel, processing more than
5.3 million tons per year, Marcegaglia considers
itself to be the ideal partner to plan and assemble
large-scale systems.
