Zomeworks Corporation was established in 1969 and is among the global leaders in passive solar energy design and manufacturing. Passive solar energy is unique in the fact that all generation and transferring of energy is done without motors or extrinsic power. The product line consists of various designs that serve an impressively broad market. From single homeowners to telecommunications giants, Zomeworks diverse array of solar products provides practical, low-maintenance, cost-efficient solutions. Consistent with those attributes, hot-dip galvanizing was selected as the coating of choice for Zomeworks integrated systems. Thousands of Zomeworks Cool Cell® enclosures and passive solar energy units are currently operating in some of the harshest environments on the planet and therefore require the most durable, corrosion-resistant protection available.

An integral selling point for Zomeworks integrated systems is ease of mobility. The pole-mounted photovoltaic panels and battery enclosures are mounted to skids that can easily be transported where power is needed via fork truck. Inevitably, a painted or powder-coated unit would incur damages due to handling that would begin the degradation of the steel substrate. Hot-dip galvanizings proven durability and abrasion-resistance ensure the underlying steel will remain protected.

The early relationship between Zomeworks and the galvanizer required close communication regarding fabrication design and the location and size of critical vent and drain holes. This strong relationship and communication continues today with any new or evolving designs as Zomeworks continues its perpetual evolution. For well over a decade, Zomeworks in Albuquerque, New Mexico has been freighting their steel components 900 miles (roundtrip) to be hot-dip galvanized, a benefit that greatly exceeds the cost of the transportation. The value of hot -dip galvanizing for Zomeworks and their off-grid customers has proven to be unrivaled and invaluable among structural steel coatings.
