PHOTOVOLTAICS APPLICATIONS
ENABLING DUAL USE OF LAND ON PARKING SPACES

Solar Port

“In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself.”

Ferry Porsche

AUTOMOTIVE

PROTECT HUMANS AND CARS
& GENERATE ENERGY

Carport or powerplant? Both! The solar port merges modern bi-facial solar modules with a custom-built substructure and standardized linear roof design, representing the natural evolution of traditional carports.

DESIGN &

ECONOMY

Tailored to Parking Spaces

Dual land use is characterized by building on already developed land - not exactly a green field. No matter the parking space, the modular system is designed to be scalable and adaptable.

While designs engage the mind and the use of renewable materials touches the soul, an integrated approach, optimized for LCOE*, makes economic sense.

* The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a measure of the average net present cost of electricity generation for a generator over its lifetime. It is used for investment planning and to compare different methods of electricity generation on a consistent basis.

The Solar Port:
Tailored to each project.

TAILORED TO SPACES

Solar Port

Every project is a unique combination of the modular elements to achieve the maximum for each parking space.

  • Modular design, optimized for large applications.
  • Multiple base modules to achieve optimal design for the individual parking space.
  • 3D Visualizations to unlock the tailored design and inspire decision-makers.

optimize for lcoe

Solar Port

The parking grid dimensions, and orientation have a direct impact on the LCOE.

  • Two rows of car parks opposite each other allow for a "double configuration" of the solar port, improving the LCOE
  • The width of the parking fields determine the distance between the anchoring points of the solar ports. Wider parking fields typically improve LCOE.
  • The driving lane can be covered or not. Covering it will improve the installed capacity. In case of our Model W, this degrades the LCOE compared to using Model V.
  • The face distance between the facing rows typically has a positive effect on the LCOE.
  • The more overhang the parking area design allows for, the more attractive the LCOE can become.
  • Like every solar PV project, the alignment to the compass direction has a direct effect on the energy yield and therefore the LCOE.

SOLUTIONS IN

LARGE-SCALE

Optimize for economy or capacity

The solar roof protects cars and humans from rain, hail, or the sun. The renewable materials used in the substructure improve the aesthetics and the footprint without impacting economy.

No matter the parking space, the modular system is designed to be scalable and adaptable. Every project is a unique combination of the modular elements to achieve the maximum for each parking space.

The natural evolution of traditional carports comes in two different base modules that can be combined to achieve the optimal individual solution.

MODEL V

MAXIMIZE ECONOMY

The Model V:
A powerplant that happens to be a carport.

Model V

The "Model V" solar port is designed and engineered around bi-facial solar modules with large roof overhangs to optimize LCOE, representing the natural evolution of traditional carports.

  • High variability
  • One or both sides
  • Large overhangs possible, can cover driving lane

MODEL W

MAXIMIZE ENERGY

The Model W:
A spaceship on parking spaces.

Model W

The "Model W" merges carports with hall construction to unlock more solar power and protection while keeping the airy allure of carports. A spaceship on parking spaces.

  • Covered driving lane
  • Does not define the parking grid
  • Best combined with V

RESIDENTIAL

APPLICATIONS

Tailored to Life:
Renewable energy & quality of life

Residential Solutions

Roof installation or carport? Both! The residential solar ports merge solar PV, parking and EV charging with renewable materials, representing the natural evolution of traditional carports. These projects are more individual – customers take advantage of solutions derived from modern utility-scale solar applications. The large overhangs and innovative approaches known from the utility-scale applications help achieve even more quality of life and opportunity space.

  • Tailor made solutions
  • Technology and design transfer from large applications
  • Integrated energy and e-mobility solutions
