At ENERGYEAR Italia 2025, Solar Steel reaffirmed its commitment to the Italian solar market, emphasizing the importance of reliability, efficiency, and bankability—core values that define its approach to solar tracking solutions. Represented by Rafael Bañón Martínez, the company shared key insights into how it continues to evolve and adapt to meet the unique challenges of solar development in Italy.
“When you combine reliability and efficiency in every solution with the bankability of a major industrial group, the result is a truly reliable partner — and that’s exactly what we are,” said Rafael during his panel participation. This message encapsulates Solar Steel’s value proposition: delivering dependable solar trackers backed by the strength of a global industrial leader.
Reliability Is Just the Beginning
Italy’s solar market is dynamic and regionally diverse, requiring more than just robust technology. As Rafael pointed out, adaptability is essential. “We’re present in Italy with a local team, which allows us to understand and respond quickly to the country’s specific regulatory and technical requirements,” he explained. “Reliability, efficiency, and bankability are not just concepts for us—they’re daily commitments.”
This local presence is a strategic advantage. It enables Solar Steel to provide tailored support, anticipate project-specific challenges, and ensure compliance with Italy’s evolving energy regulations. From permitting to engineering, having boots on the ground makes a real difference in project execution and long-term success.
Lowering LCOE Through Smart Design and Collaboration
One of the most pressing goals in Italy’s solar sector is reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). While competitive pricing plays a role, Rafael emphasized that true cost reduction comes from responsible design and close collaboration with clients.
“Especially in advanced solar agrivoltaic projects, anticipating potential challenges during installation is key to ensuring long-term viability,” he noted. Agrivoltaics—where solar installations coexist with agricultural activity—require careful planning to balance energy production with land use. Solar Steel’s engineering approach focuses on minimizing disruption, optimizing layout, and ensuring that both energy and agricultural outputs are maximized.
A Long-Term Commitment to Italy
Solar Steel’s journey in Italy began in 2009, marking over 15 years of experience in the country. In 2024, the company launched a dedicated operational subsidiary, reinforcing its commitment to the Italian market. This move has enabled deeper integration with local stakeholders and faster response times for project support.
In 2025, Solar Steel is not just participating in Italy’s solar landscape—it’s actively shaping it. With a portfolio of solar trackers designed for diverse terrains and project types, the company is well-positioned to meet the demands of utility-scale solar farms, agrivoltaic installations, and hybrid energy systems.
Solar Trackers Built for Italy’s Challenges
Solar Steel’s 1P and 2P solar trackers are engineered for high performance and adaptability. Whether installed on flat agricultural land or uneven terrain, these systems offer:
- High reliability under varying weather conditions
- Efficient energy capture through optimized tracking algorithms
- Ease of installation with modular components
- Bankability backed by a global industrial group
These features make Solar Steel a preferred partner for developers seeking long-term performance and financial stability in their solar investments.
Looking Ahead: Innovation and Collaboration
As Italy continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, the role of trusted partners like Solar Steel becomes increasingly important. The company’s focus on innovation, local engagement, and client collaboration positions it as a key contributor to Italy’s clean energy future.
ENERGYEAR Italia 2025 was more than an event—it was a platform for Solar Steel to showcase its values, share its vision, and strengthen its relationships within the Italian solar ecosystem. With a proven track record and a forward-looking strategy, Solar Steel is ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow, today.
