Stainless Steel in Solar Energy Use Keywords stainless steel; solar energy; green energy Created Date 6/23/2008 10:09:32 AM
The challenge lies in capturing its radiation and transforming, transporting and storing the energy. As in many areas of energy transformation and use, stainless steel plays a key role in solar technology – and has the potential to grow further.
Whatever material is used to make the solar-thermal panels, they need a resistant frame. Stainless steel is again the preferred option. Stainless steel frames withstand the robust conditions on a building site. Although stainless steel has a higher density than other metals, it also has much higher mechanical strength.
Ideally, solar panels should be considered as part of the architectural expression and a means of providing a visual structure to roofs and facades. In an effort to bring the best technologies together, stainless steel roofing solutions have been developed which precisely match photovoltaic panels (Figure 35).
This roofing technology is the only metallic option that can be used on zero-degree roofs or non-inclined parts (Figure 36). The roofing materials should match the durability of the solar panels. General corrosion is virtually absent in stainless steel.
Stainless steel is a proven metallic substrate for amorphous photovoltaic cells. The flexible cells can be used on a wide variety of supports. Figure 35:The trays of the stainless steel roof support the photovoltaic panels (Photo: protectum.de) 18 s t a i n l e s s
