A trusted solution supporting solar structures across Europe
ArcelorMittal proudly celebrates this year 15 years of Magnelis®, an innovative metallic coating technology that has become the benchmark material for photovoltaic mounting structures across Europe.
Proven in demanding environments, Magnelis® combines high corrosion resistance with adaptability to diverse conditions, ensuring durability and reliable performance over decades. This long-term reliability supports structural safety and investment efficiency, earning the trust of leading investors, developers, and energy companies across Europe.
A long-standing partnership with Budmat Group
For more than 13 years, Budmat Group has been part of this journey. This long-term collaboration reflects a shared commitment to quality, engineering excellence, and innovation in renewable energy infrastructure.
Over the years, Budmat Group has developed deep expertise in the use of Magnelis® steel for demanding infrastructure and energy projects. Today, this know-how is further developed through Budmat PV Systems, which delivers mounting structures for utility-scale solar power plants across Europe.
Proven performance at scale
Structures made from Magnelis® steel have been installed in hundreds of photovoltaic projects, representing ~130 GWp of total capacity.
These systems operate across a wide range of challenging environments, from reclaimed lignite mining areas and rocky terrains to large-scale solar installations, including one of Europe’s largest solar power plants in northern Poland. Covering 600 hectares and with a total capacity of 722 MWp, it is currently being built by Budmat PV Systems, using steel from ArcelorMittal.
A shared story of trust and innovation
Fifteen years of Magnelis®, and more than thirteen years of cooperation between ArcelorMittal and Budmat Group, represent a strong and enduring partnership.
It is a story rooted in advanced steel technology, engineering expertise, and mutual trust, validated by hundreds of photovoltaic projects supported by structures made from Magnelis® steel.
