Areco Green Energy CIGS solar panels win Energy Award 2025

Energiprisen

Green Energy Group is proud to announce that together with Areco Profiles we have won the 2025 Construction Energy Award

This recognition was given during the Construction Climate Awards, presented by Danish Construction Centres at the BYGGERI trade fair and presented by the chairman of the Danish Construction Association, Kirsten Nielsen. The Energy Award is one of four categories that honour the best innovations that help reduce CO2 emissions and environmental impact in the construction industry. 

Award winning practical innovation

Green Energy Group is honoured to be among the companies setting new industry standards for environmentally responsible building solutions. Our collaboration with Areco Profiles has been instrumental in developing a solution that unites Areco’s Easy-Click steel profiles with Green Energy Group’s CIGS solar panels.

“Receiving the 2025 Danish Building Energy Award together with Areco Profiles is a great recognition of the innovative work we have put into developing a solar solution for steel roofs suitable for modern buildings. With a weight of only 2.2kg/m², EPD certification and a low carbon footprint, we offer a solution that both reduces energy consumption and ensures a harmonious integration into the architecture of the building. Working with Areco has made it possible to combine energy efficiency with an elegant and simple installation process that meets the industry’s need for sustainable solutions.” – Jens Sørensen, Head of Construction, Green Energy Group

Solarpanels for steel roofs without compromise

Our close collaboration with Areco Profiles has been crucial in the development of an innovative solar solution that combines Areco’s Easy-Click steel profiles with Green Energy’s CIGS solar panels. This combination ensures a seamless and aesthetic integration of solar energy into roofs, making the solution suitable for both modern and classic architecture. The Easy-Click steel profiles have wide grooves and hidden fasteners, creating a clean and elegant look without visible fittings. Our CIGS solar cells are only 3 mm, lightweight (2.2 kg/m²) and require no additional structural support, making them easy to install and handle. The glass-free panels eliminate the risk of micro cracks and fire hazards while ensuring maximum sunlight absorption – even in partial shade. Flexible mounting options make it possible to adapt the solution to different roof types, and with a 25-year performance guarantee, you can be sure of a reliable and long-lasting solution. Our solar solution is ideal for both commercial and residential projects, whether new build or renovation, and can be installed by any tradesman without specialised tools.

EPD certification strengthens sustainability

In addition to the Danish Energy Award 2025, Green Energy Group has obtained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for our solar panels. This certification documents the environmental impact of our products and can easily be used in your LCA calculations. Read more about our EPD here
