Daylighting concepts with solar carports

Daylight systems for large solar carport systems

Daylighting concepts are daylight systems that are used in structural constructions when there is not enough light and an atmosphere close to daylight needs to be created.

Especially in large parks in areas where there are large gatherings of people, such as: B. in the cities and the high customer frequency in shopping centers are given as examples.

Energy efficiency is one thing, but the other, such as quality of life, feel-good factor and optimal living and shopping conditions, must not suffer as a result.

Suitable for:

  • Solar carport systems: Which is the better and/or cheaper option?

With the open parking spaces that are to be converted into covered solar power generation systems using solar carport systems, there is a unique opportunity to combine both: aesthetics and utility, in two respects. The combination of protection from the weather influences of rain and snow and the simultaneous generation of electricity.

The previous solar carport systems are purely focused on energy efficiency and electricity generation. The same applies to the use of materials that are practically designed to last a long time, but do not take aesthetics and the feel-good factor into account.

Again, the so-called designer solar carports on the market are aimed purely at private households and are usually designed for a maximum of 2 parking spaces as a double carport.

There is no flexibility in the solar carport system itself. The highlight of this fatal development is the statement of a solar carport provider who has no rain gutter in the program: "The customer should simply go into the hardware store and get a rain gutter there."

In addition, many solar carports and solar carport systems cannot be used as daylight systems because they are not intended for semi-transparent solar modules.

But there is one exception to all of these points: a solar carport system in which you can determine the options yourself:

  • Whether a double carport or a solar carport system for 100 parking spaces and beyond.
  • Completely made of wood or in a combination of wood & steel, where the solar modules lie on a wooden structure equipped with steel columns.
  • Pure aluminum solar carport substructure.
  • Pure steel solar carport substructure with round or square columns.

Suitable for:

  • Smart Cities – The solution for mega-urbanization?
  • Green Urban Solar City: Solar carport greening obligation & solar obligation for the roofing of parking spaces

All variants are equipped with the semi-transparent double glass modules, which fully support daylighting concepts.

Smart solution: The combination of wood and steel and semi-transparent solar modules

But it can also be smarter : the combination of wooden construction and the solar carport 4-pillar technology, where the supports are made of steel. In the upper area, directly under the solar modules, the wooden substructure for solar modules is protected from the weather, while the support columns are still made of steel, like all other large solar carport systems. With this method, the wood used requires virtually no further treatment against the effects of the weather, even over decades.

Suitable for:

  • Architects love them: Aesthetic variety with semi-transparent double-glass solar modules for solar carports and terraces

This combination also saves a lot more steel, which is reflected in the price.

Another important aspect comes when it comes to aesthetics and appearance.

The combination of wood and steel with a translucent roof using semi-transparent double glass modules not only refines the parking area itself, but also has a major positive impact on people and the environment.

We know this from the construction industry. There are different ways to keep people from certain areas and only allow them to come if absolutely necessary. On the other hand, there are many areas that thrive on high customer frequency, such as: B. Shopping center. The competition is great. Therefore, it is particularly important here to set accents that attract people and where they feel comfortable.
