More green electricity from solar carports – the solar filling station of the future
Published on: March 5, 2021 / Update from: July 30, 2021 - Author: Konrad Wolfenstein
Smart City Ready – Smart Grid Ready – Solar modular system
The carport, once discovered as a cheap alternative to the more expensive and increasingly narrow garages, is now increasingly becoming a lifestyle and all-rounder object of the future.
With photovoltaics and the growing importance of green electricity, the “car port” (a combination of the English terms “car” and “port”) is developing into a decentralized and networked solar filling station of the future. In the future, the car will no longer just be passively protected from weather-related weather, but now sustainable green electricity will also be produced through photovoltaics on the roof and, ideally, “parked” in an electricity storage system.

The scalable and modular solar carport construction kit system
There are already many good approaches. But nothing is like the HELIOS carport system from T.Werk GmbH from Ellzee. It is suitable for individual solar carports as well as for large company or public parking spaces, can be used flexibly as an additional solar charging station and, above all, can be planned.
System seems to be program at T.Werk. As with all of its products, T.Werk attaches great importance to high quality, quick assembly and flexible applicability, which pays off in the end. This is also the case with the HELIOS carport from T.Werk, where planning security is the top priority, avoiding expensive corrections and retrofitting.
The HELIOS carports are, so to speak, smart city-ready and smart grid-ready . You can take full advantage of modular options. Whatever the reason, the HELIOS carport is also available without a PV mounting system. So it can be used like a modular system. Charging stations, inverters and other options for smart cities and smart grids are easy to install.
Single carport, double carport or row carport. For any even or odd rows of parking spaces. What more could you want as a planner? Even Lego doesn't get any better.
For example, 96 vehicles (6 rows of 8 double carports each) and approx. 360 kWp (972 modules with 370 Wp, 1,740×1,030×35 mm) fit on a 50×50 m (2,500m²) area including tram lanes between the parking spaces.
This makes the HELIOS carport ideal as a system for both individual, small and large solar parking projects:
- Elegant, clean design
- Easy parking thanks to W-shaped support arrangement
- Even the standard version can be used for very high snow loads
- Convenient parking and easy getting out thanks to wide parking spaces
- Available with and without PV mounting system
- Available as a single and double carport as well as a row carport for any even or odd rows of parking spaces
- High-quality design with laser-cut square tubes
- High limit support width of the trapezoidal sheet (can also be walked on by individuals without load-distributing measures)
- Quick and easy assembly
- Charging stations, inverters, etc. are easy to install
- In a further development step, it can also be used for transparent glass-glass modules without additional covering
- Carport customizable according to customer requirements (size, color, foundation preparation, etc.)
In terms of price, the solar carport more expensive than a normal carport, but still significantly less than a normal garage.
Depending on the project, the approximate guide price is €1,200 to €1,500 per parking space with trapezoidal sheet metal and a short rail system. The foundation is still there.
