A solar plant is designed for 25–30 years, but its galvanized steel structures suffer cuts, drilling, and impacts during installation, and age sooner in coastal or humid areas. A zinc-rich paint like GALVANOL is the most practical way to maintain that protection.
Where it is used in a photovoltaic plant
- Installation: touch up cuts, drilling, and welds made on-site in galvanized profiles. This is the most common use. See how to repair welds and cuts.
- Ground stakes and structure feet: the area in contact with the ground is the first to lose zinc.
- Fasteners and joints: see how to protect screws and anchors.
- Boxes, trays, and cable supports exposed to the elements.
- Floating or coastal plants: greater coating thickness (C4–C5).
- Maintenance of older plants: replenish zinc before red rust appears. See replenishing old galvanizing.
Why GALVANOL
- 96% zinc in the dry film and compliance with ISO 1461 and ASTM A780 for galvanizing repair.
- 500 ml spray very convenient for quick touch-ups by installers.
- Dry to the touch in about 20 minutes: it does not delay construction.
Tip for installers: keep a spray in every van and touch up every cut on the spot. A few seconds of touch-up prevents a claim years later.
