Proven corrosion resistance
Outdoor testing reported by ArcelorMittal shows three times better corrosion protection than standard galvanised steel, including strong performance in aggressive environments.
Material advantage
Protection that keeps solar structures working longer.
SolarLions uses Magnelis® coated steel to combine durable corrosion protection with efficient fabrication and lower lifetime intervention — across both floating and ground-mounted solar systems.
Built for exposure
Corrosion protection becomes commercial value.
Solar structures live outdoors for decades. Heat, humidity, water, dust, abrasion, soil contact and transport all put pressure on the supporting steel. Magnelis® protects the structure at the surface, around formed areas and along exposed edges.
That means a stronger route to dependable performance, efficient local manufacturing and lower maintenance over the life of the asset.
Four lifetime advantages
More protection where projects need it.
Protection beyond the surface
A dense protective film can migrate across cut edges, scratches and perforations, helping protect the areas where fabricated structures are most exposed.
Designed for efficient fabrication
The coating remains protective on formed areas and supports bending, profiling and welding, helping simplify production and shorten the route from steel coil to finished structure.
Lower lifetime intervention
Longer-lasting protection can reduce the need for post-painting and ongoing maintenance, supporting a more predictable total cost of ownership.
One material strategy
Designed to protect on water and on land.
Floating solar
AquaConnect
Durable coated steel supports a stable, repeatable platform in humid and water-adjacent environments.
Explore the floating system ↗Ground-mounted solarTerraConnect
Strong protection against abrasion and soil exposure supports efficient structures for demanding sites.
Explore the ground-mounted family ↗Lifetime value
Less coating complexity. More project confidence.
Streamlined production
Continuous pre-coating can remove separate post-galvanising or painting steps, helping simplify production and logistics.
Local manufacturing potential
Good forming and welding properties support repeatable fabrication routes closer to the project market.
Responsible material use
Magnelis® uses less zinc than pure zinc coatings, reduces zinc runoff and is fully recyclable, according to ArcelorMittal.
From material to project value
Build durability into the proposition from day one.
