WHY SOLAR CANOPIESTURN EVERY CAR PARK INTO A RENEWABLE ENERGY HUB.
Many sites have already maximised their installed rooftop solar capacity or are unsuitable for rooftop solar. A typical solar canopy doubles your solar capacity, while enhancing the customer experience with waterproof undercover parking and EV charging integration.

The benefitsEIGHT REASONS EVERY COMMERCIAL CAR PARK SHOULD HAVE A SOLAR CANOPY
05
EV CHARGING READY FROM DAY ONE
EV charging infrastructure is designed to integrate seamlessly into the solar canopy, so you can add chargers without additional civil works, conduits or modification.
06
BATTERY STORAGE READY
Add on-site storage from day one or layer it in later. Time-shift solar into peak tariff windows, back up critical load, or tap grid services revenue through VPPs and FCAS.
07
VISIBLE SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
Rooftop solar is invisible to customers. A canopy is the first thing people see when they drive in, turning your ESG strategy from a line in a report into something people experience.

01
COST-COMPETITIVE WITH SHADE CLOTH + ROOFTOP SOLAR
For systems over 30 parking bays (100kWp), our system is cost competitive with the cost of installing shade cloth + rooftop solar. This means if you want to provide shade and install on-site solar capacity, it is now a no-brainer to install a solar canopy.
02
ELECTRIC TRANSPORT IS HERE
Solar canopies are often the best place to charge your car or truck. Undercover parking, integrated cable management a turnkey cost that is typically half* of a standalone EV charger installation.
* Installing 2X 50kW DC chargers typically cost around $150k for a standalone system in an open air carpark. With our solar canopy, it costs only $75k as the base build infrastructure (trenching, cable management, switchboard) can all be included as part of the base build.
03
ZERO CAPEX
Our solar canopies are now cost-effective to own under the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Pay for a solar canopy through your electricity bill, completely off balance sheet.
