Car park with solar carports – photovoltaic roof over the parking spaces

Solar carports – parking areas that generate electricity

A solar carport turns your car park into a power plant: it protects vehicles from wind and weather, generates clean solar power and, on request, comes fitted with charging infrastructure straight away.

Put to double use

What is a solar carport?

A solar carport is a car park canopy whose roof is fully covered with photovoltaic modules. The area you already set aside for parking thus generates electricity on top – for self-consumption, for charging points or for feed-in.

  • No additional space required – the car park stays a car park
  • Structurally certified construction, designed for wind and snow loads
  • Can be combined with wallboxes, fast chargers and battery storage

Your benefits

Why a solar carport pays off

Double use of the parking area

Sealed surfaces pull their weight: your car park generates solar power without a single extra square metre being built on.

Integrated charging infrastructure

The electricity generated flows straight into wallboxes or fast chargers – short distances, low losses, full control.

Weather protection

Vehicles stand protected from sun, hail and snow – a noticeable gain in comfort for employees and customers.

A visible statement

A solar carport shows your commitment to climate protection at a glance – an image boost with advertising impact.

Typical applications

Where solar carports make the biggest difference

Company car parks

Employee and fleet parking spaces become a source of energy – ideal in combination with charging points for your own vehicle fleet.

Retail

Customer car parks with a canopy and charging option improve the customer experience – and dwell time becomes charging time.

Municipalities

Whether town hall, public works yard or swimming pool: public parking areas supply clean power and make municipal climate protection visible.

Stronger together

Solar carport, wallbox and storage – one system

The solar carport realises its full potential in interplay: power from the carport roof charges vehicles right on site, a battery storage system holds surpluses for low-sun hours, and intelligent load management distributes the power across the charging points.

  • Wallboxes and fast chargers – from an AC charging point to a DC fast charger, to suit your use
  • Battery storage – midday solar power is available for charging in the evening too
  • Connection to your commercial PV system – rooftop PV and carport PV can be combined into a single overall concept

Your route to a solar carport

Four steps to a power-generating parking area

Site assessment

We assess the parking area, orientation, ground conditions and grid connection – and clarify the building regulations that apply.

Planning & structural design

Sizing of the structure, PV output and optional charging infrastructure – matched to your parking spaces and your consumption.

Installation & grid connection

Foundations, steelwork, modules and electrical work from a single source – including registration with the grid operator.

Operation & service

Monitoring, maintenance and technical support ensure your carport reliably supplies electricity over the long term.
