Have you heard about the Helioroof project? Developed in collaboration with ArcelorMittal, this project offers a Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solution tailored for steel roofs in industrial and commercial buildings. Helioroof stands out with its lightweight design, optimized architectural integration, and exceptional solar energy production performance. 

Innovation at the Heart of the Energy Transition

Helioroof is designed to meet the growing demand for photovoltaic solutions in the construction sector, where energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetics are essential. This integrated BIPV solution, winner of the 2024 Innovation Industry Award in the Photovoltaics category, features high-power crystalline solar modules, among the largest ever produced for terrestrial applications.

ArcelorMittal, a global leader in steel, developed Helioroof to provide a sustainable, lightweight, and easy-to-install solution for inclined steel roofs. These prefabricated, insulated solar panels ensure better integration with steel structures, offering reduced environmental impact and enhanced energy performance.
