SMART

The iFIX photovoltaic substructure consists of only one part instead of many individual parts. The smart click solution eliminates the need for assembly tools.

FAST 

No cutting is necessary as all parts are delivered ready to install. The parts can be quickly and easily transported due to their manageable size and weight (1.27 m & 3.3 kg).

VERSATILE 

iFIX has a particularly large contact area. This reduces the surface loads, making iFIX ideal for roofs with soft insulating material.

SIMPLE 

Installation is so simple that it cannot go wrong! Just watch the installation video and you are ready to go. Integrated fixation points act as clear guides and module clamps further simplify installation. No thermal separation is necessary between the rows.

ECONOMICAL 

Shorter assembly times means greater throughput. Less logistics and distribution work saves additional time. The individual parts can be densely stacked and require minimal storage space. They can be precisely assembled with no waste material produced on the roof. You receive your project plan and a parts list in the intuitive online planning tool. 

DEPENDABLE 

Short supply chains because of local production, high volumes due to large-scale production, and the highest quality automotive level standards all serve to make the voestalpine Automotive Components Group your dependable partner for the high quality and timely production of your iFIX photovoltaic substructures. 

Trust in the experience of our reference customers >>  

To protect the steel from environmental pollution, voestalpine iFIX products receive an additional coating. Thanks to this high-quality coating, iFIX offers excellent corrosion protection and can optimally meet the high corrosivity requirements for PV substructures. 

• Zinc-magnesium coating ZM310 for corrosion protection in accordance with DIN 55634-1:2018-03.
• Ideal for use in environments up to corrosivity category C3 in accordance with DIN EN ISO 12944-2:1998-07

It is not just automotive customers who rely on our superior quality standards. Large-scale production is our daily business, not the exception. And local production means short supply chains.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

As everything is manufactured using a single state-of-the-art, energy-efficient machine, energy consumption during production is minimized. In addition, our internally sourced prematerial has a minimized carbon footprint.

TRANSPORT

The stackable parts require less storage space, reducing warehousing expenses and significantly lowering the number of necessary truck runs. Fewer trucks on the roads generate fewer CO2 emissions. By producing at our centrally located German site, we also minimize the length of our delivery routes.

MATERIAL CONSUMPTION

The amount of material used in iFIX products has been reduced to an absolute minimum. The iFIX part also comes with all the necessary assembly and fixing elements, further minimizing material consumption. Other benefits: no waste material is generated on the roof as the part does not need to be cut to size. And the steel is highly recyclable.

YIELD

We offer iFIX PV substructures for both south and east-west facing roofs, to cover the greatest possible number of roofs: make the most of your available roof area and maximize your solar power generation. iFIX can also be used with soft insulation material, making more roof area usable for power generation.
