Solar Protective Coatings

Durable coatings for the solar power generation industry 

WHAT are SOLAR Protective Coatings?

Harnessing renewable energy from the sun is a well-established practice, with solar farms extending from vast, sunny areas like plains, deserts, and rural regions to more compact installations in urban and suburban settings across North America. These solar panels and their supporting infrastructure face exposure to natural elements such as fluctuating temperatures, wind, and extreme conditions, necessitating specialized coatings to safeguard against corrosion, damage from stress and impact, and protects against adverse soil conditions.     

Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine offers advanced coatings designed to safeguard structural steel, racking, pedestals, pilings, and transmission equipment within the solar power sector. Our robust epoxy, urethane, and siloxane technologies are not only easy to apply but also ensure long-lasting finishes, even on galvanized surfaces.

  • Extend the total service life of solar infrastructure
  • Protects against corrosion
  • Reduces out-of-service time for critical assets
  • Provides project value-engineering
  • Enhances durability & resilience
  • Protects steel pilings

Fast-Set Polyurethane for Solar Steel Pilings

Poly-Cote 110 provides long-lasting corrosion barrier protection for steel pilings used to support photovoltaic panel arrays and other infrastructure at solar power projects. This fast-setting, 100%-volume solids polyurethane offers single-coat application over properly prepared steel and galvanized substrates. It is ideal for use in buried service applications and can contribute to value engineering, increased asset life protection, and cost savings for solar projects.

  • Superior corrosion protection
  • Ultra-low permeability
  • Extreme impact resistance
