Description
Description:
Solar carports and EV charging solutions combine clean energy generation with electric vehicle infrastructure, offering a smart, space-efficient way to power transportation and reduce grid dependency. Ranging from 5 kW to 500 kW, these systems feature elevated solar canopy structures that not only provide shaded parking but also generate electricity to support AC and DC fast charging stations.
Ideal for malls, office complexes, transportation hubs, and public parking facilities, these solutions enhance sustainability credentials while delivering practical value to property owners and EV users alike.
Applications:
-
Commercial Parking Lots:
Retail centers, malls, and supermarkets offering green energy charging for customers and staff. -
Corporate Campuses & Offices:
Supporting employee EV adoption and workplace sustainability initiatives. -
EV Charging Hubs:
Public or private EV charging stations powered by solar energy for reduced operational costs and grid impact. -
Urban Infrastructure:
Contributing to smart city goals by integrating renewable energy with transportation.
Key Components:
