Power can be fed into the embedded network or microgrid to create a financial return on the resale of the energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Panel agnostic system so almost all solar panel types accepted.
No intrusion into carspaces by structures so no loss of any car spaces and compliant with AS requirements for carparks.
Most systems don’t impact car spaces at all. Some do though therefore we normally avoid those. Systems must comply with Australian Parking regulations.
Structures can have water management features added to provide a dry environment under the canopy; water can be collected into tanks.
Solar car parks are just like regular covered parking lots, providing shelter and protection for cars from the weather. They have structures with solar panels on the roof that generate electricity. The structures are slightly tilted and provide shade to cars parked in the car park. This electricity can be used to charge electric cars or power businesses which also can help businesses save money on their electricity bill.
Solar car parks can actually make money for you while also helping the environment. By generating power from the sun instead of using grid power, solar car parks can significantly reduce your carbon emissions and electricity bill. Additionally, offering undercover parking can help to attract and retain customers, while also providing a more secure and comfortable shopping experience.
On average 3kW of Solar Power per car space (depending on solar module).
A solar car park is a covered car park with solar panels installed on the roof, providing businesses and properties with renewable energy. The solar panels generate electricity to meet the energy demands of the business or property, making it more sustainable. Solar car parks can be found in many locations, often near electric car charging stations. This allows businesses and property owners to generate their own power, reducing their environmental impact and reliance on fossil fuels. Solar car parks are becoming increasingly popular as the technology improves and the cost of solar panels decreases.
Funding options available with Microgrids to run the network and provide an extra “rental income” for the site that when capitalised increases the property’s value.
