Why solar carports are now important?
It wasn't long ago that typical solar systems usually in demand either for pitched roofs on houses or for flat roofs on production and industrial halls. Acceptance was also high for solar parks and solar fields Particularly when it comes to ground , 62% of respondents in a survey stated that they would rather have a solar park as an electricity generation system in their neighborhood than, for example, a nuclear power plant. Here only 5% were in favor of nuclear energy.
With electromobility and the lack of charging infrastructure, the idea of solar carports in open parking spaces .
Suitable for:
- Best practice solar carport: What trade and industry in Baden-Württemberg need to know now
- Charging stations and solar carports together make sense: the circle closes
In Baden-Württemberg, this is now legally stipulated for open parking spaces with 75 or more spaces, both for private and company parking spaces. There is no alternative as with the requirement for photovoltaic systems for new non-residential buildings. Photovoltaic systems cannot be installed as a substitute on other outdoor areas or in their immediate surroundings and the area used as a result cannot be counted towards the fulfillment of the obligation.
📣 Parking areas solar solutions for industry, retail and municipalities
Everything from a single source, specially designed for solar solutions for large parking areas. You refinance or counterfinance into the future with your own electricity generation.
🎯 For solar engineers, plumbers, electricians and roofers
Advice and planning including a non-binding cost estimate. We bring you together with strong photovoltaic partners.
👨🏻 👩🏻 👴🏻 👵🏻 For private households
We are positioned across regions in German-speaking countries. We have reliable partners who advise you and implement your wishes.
There are still very few statistics and figures surrounding solar carports. The little information, in turn, is not shared for strategic reasons because a new market in the field of photovoltaics is establishing itself here.

Did you know that the greatest interest in a solar system comes from small towns with 5,000 to under 20,000 residents?
According to projections, around 3.31 million people in Germany were definitely planning to modernize or purchase a new solar system/photovoltaic system in 2020. In this group of people, around 33.2 percent of the people lived in a place with 5,000 to fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. This applied to around 26.6 percent of the population. This also applies to people with a household net income of 5,000 euros and more. The proportion here is 37.1%.
We advise companies that are affected by the solar obligation for solar carports as well as solar installers:
Our solar parking solution is modular and scalable:
- Quick and easy assembly
- Stable strip foundation as collision protection
- Individually customizable design (color, materials, surface, size, etc.)
- Installation of charging stations and inverters is possible at any time
- Scalable & modular: Available as a single, double or arbitrarily scalable row carport
- Can even be used in the standard version for very high wind and snow loads (s k = 2.2 kN/m²)
- Extra large and wide parking spaces and very easy parking thanks to W-shaped supports
- High-quality design for sophisticated and long-lasting requirements: Hot-dip galvanized steel construction (DIN EN 10346, DIN EN 1461)
Suitable for:
Industrial flat roof solar systems and solar parks or outdoor photovoltaic systems are another alternative

If you are thinking of investing in a solar carport for your company location and/or open parking spaces, a solar system on the company roof is also recommended. Exploiting any energy potential for an emission-free and autonomous power supply is also a competitive advantage and securing market shares.

Charging stations and charging infrastructure
Should the energy generated be fed into the grid or parked in energy or electricity storage? What are the load profiles, the technical connection conditions, number of charging stations, vehicle downtime and ultimately the specified total PV output? Will the charges be recorded with the company if the employee charges their company car from home? These are questions that we will have to deal with in the future. It is different from what we are used to today.
