As countries accelerate the shift to renewable energy, large-scale solar power projects are expanding rapidly. In Australia alone, as of June 2022, there were 86 operational solar farms, 39 under construction, and more than 120 additional projects committed.
With this rapid growth comes an increasing demand for durable, long-lasting infrastructure—especially when it comes to steel components exposed to harsh environments. Photovoltaic (PV) modules are designed to last 30–35 years, and every element of a solar farm must match that life expectancy to reduce operational costs. That’s where advanced corrosion protection becomes critical.

ZINGA for Solar– Advanced Steel Protection for Solar Farms
ZINGA® is a film galvanising system that provides both active and passive corrosion protection for steel. It has been successfully applied in solar projects worldwide—spanning Peru, Chile, France, Morocco, Oman, and Vietnam.
In many cases, hot-dip galvanised (HDG) steel structures have shown early signs of corrosion. ZINGA® has proven to be the ideal solution for restoring and extending the life of these systems.
