Mitigating the CO2 footprint in solar: low-carbon steel for PV
We will discuss the concept of carbon payback in PV farms, comparing XCarb® with conventional steel to illustrate how quickly the emissions savings can outweigh production-related emissions.
Mounted PV: Steel foundations explored
We will talk about its solutions for strong foundation design and durability, and options to reduce environmental impact as part of its XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel program.
Reducing the environmental impact of PV mounting structures
ArcelorMittal, a leading supplier of steel and a major actor in the solar industry, will join us to talk about its foray into the world of low CO2 steel and present solutions to improve mounting structure design, durability, and environmental impact.
Meeting the expectation of a 30+ PV project operation lifetime, from the ground up
Utility scale solar developers are increasingly factoring in very long project lifetimes in their financial models. Given this, expectations for the durability of the components have never been higher. The mounting structure is literally the component on which the weight of these expectations rest – whether fixed tilt or single-axis tracker. But is the material from which the mounting structure is constructed built to last 25, 30 or even more years in the field?
