ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe, juwi Group to Cooperate on Photovoltaics
01/18/2011 - ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe’s Color/Construction business unit is working under a cooperation agreement with juwi Group to offer construction elements featuring integrated roof-parallel photovoltaic modules that transform the roofs of industrial and commercial buildings into solar power plants.
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe’s Color/Construction business unit is working under a cooperation agreement with juwi Group to offer construction elements featuring integrated roof-parallel photovoltaic modules. The modules make the roofs of industrial and commercial buildings into solar power plants – and a steady source of additional income.
The photovoltaic systems consist of solar modules installed on special, roof-parallel substructures. The substructure is matched to the roofing elements supplied by ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe. The systems are suitable for both single-skin roofs and roofs made from sandwich panels. For sandwich roofs, the partnership provides an extremely climate- and resource-friendly combination of effective heat insulation and renewable energy generation.
There are two models for financing the photovoltaic systems: Under the first, the roof and solar energy system are owned by the building owner and financed through feed-in tariffs set and guaranteed by law, which also generate additional profit. Under the second financing scheme, the solar energy system is owned by a third-party investor, and the building owner receives rent for the use of the roof area. The cooperation partners offer a full range of consulting services for the photovoltaic systems, including negotiations with banks, land registry offices and building authorities.
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe is exhibiting at Bau under the motto Steel Goes Green, chosen to emphasize the good environmental performance of steel construction products. As an example, sandwich panels, with their first-class insulating properties, are very energy-efficient and make a sustainable contribution to climate protection. They offer a simple and low-cost way to meet the requirements of the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) for building heat insulation. Since 2009 the ordinance has also applied to industrial buildings.
