This project sets five "firsts" in the steel industry: the first true BIPV project with large purlin spacing; the first BIPV project combining stainless steel with PV; the first BIPV project to remove the hot-rolling plant's skylight strips and reduce roof ventilation monitors to maximize installed capacity; the first BIPV project where the roof maintenance system and PV are implemented by a single entity with clear accountability; and the first BIPV project to adopt double-glass, frameless, dust-resistant, walkable rooftop PV modules.
