solar parking garage

Product Introduction

A solar parking garage is a parking structure that uses solar panels to generate electricity. The electricity generated can be used to power the lights and other devices in the parking garage, or it can be stored in batteries for use at night or during power outages. Solar parking garages can also be connected to the grid, providing a source of renewable energy for the community. In some cases, the solar panels may also provide shade for the parked cars, making them more comfortable to enter on hot days.

A solar parking garage is a structure that houses both automobiles and solar panels. Solar panels are installed on the roof of the garage, and they collect energy from the sun to generate electricity. This electricity is then used to power the lights and other devices in the garage, as well as to charge the batteries of electric vehicles. Solar parking garages can be found in many cities around the world, and they are becoming increasingly popular as people strive to reduce their carbon footprints.

Key Features

• Dual‑Use Parking & Solar Generation: Supports both vehicle parking and power generation from photovoltaic (PV) modules.
  
  

• Modular Canopy Structure: Flexible frame design fits single‑row, double‑row or multi‑row parking garages.
  
  

• High Durability Materials: Constructed with aluminum 6063 and stainless steel; surface treatment options include anodized,
  powder coating, polished finishes.
  
  

• Strong Environmental Tolerance: Engineered to withstand high wind loads and heavy snow loads for outdoor solar parking
  installation — ensuring long‑term reliability. 
  
  

• Optimised Solar Mounting: Can tilt and orient PV modules for maximum energy yield, while offering clearance and safe access
  for parked vehicles.
  
  

• EV Charging Ready & Smart Integration: Designed to integrate with EV charger stations, battery storage and remote monitoring
  systems — turning the parking garage into a smart solar‑EV hub.

  
  

• Space‑Efficient Use of Existing Land: Utilises parking area land frequently under‑used for energy generation, increasing site ROI.
  
  
  

Advantages

• Protects Vehicles & Infrastructure: Offers shade, weather protection (sun, rain, snow, hail) under canopy; enhances user/tenant/
  employee parking experience. 
  
  

• Enhances Sustainability & Brand Image: Demonstrates corporate commitment to ESG, reduces carbon footprint, leverages renewable energy in parking garages and canopy systems. 
  
  

• Enables EV & Mobility Strategy: Supports clean mobility by providing solar‑powered EV charging in the garage/parking canopy structure—makes lots future‑ready.

  
  

• Flexible Deployment: Can be retrofitted to existing garages or integrated into new builds; supports modular expansion and phased roll‑out.

FAQ

Q1: What’s the difference between a standard parking structure and your Solar Parking Garage?

A: Our system integrates photovoltaic (PV) modules and structural canopy over parking spaces, turning idle parking surfaces into active
solar‑power generation. Regular garages offer only shelter; ours offer shelter + power generation + EV readiness. 

Q2: What kind of PV modules and system components can be used?

A: Compatible with monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar modules, supports standard mounting systems, optional battery storage and
EV charger integration.

Q3: Can this be installed on an existing parking lot or garage?

A: Yes — provided clearance, sunlight exposure, structural support and electrical access are verified. This solar parking structure is
designed for retrofit or new builds. 

Q4: How does it optimise space and energy generation?

A: By utilising parking‑lot area already paved and often idle for energy generation, the system maximises land use efficiency while
orienting PV modules for optimal output. 

Q5: What maintenance is required?

A: Regular panel cleaning, structural bolt and joint checks, EV charger/electrical system inspection. The structure is designed for long
life with high durability materials.
