The climate protection law in Baden-Württemberg, amended in mid-October 2020, introduces, among other things, an obligation to install solar systems for new parking spaces.

Section 8b imposes an obligation to install photovoltaic systems on parking areas. When building a new open parking space suitable for solar use with more than 35 parking spaces for motor vehicles, a photovoltaic system must be installed over the parking space suitable for solar use if the application for a building permit is received by the responsible building law authority from January 1, 2022.

Following a change in the law on October 15, 2021, the solar requirement for open parking spaces was reduced from 75 to 35. This means that the solar obligation for open parking spaces applies in Baden-Württemberg from 35 parking spaces.

Additional to:

  • Solar system or photovoltaic systems are mandatory in Baden-Württemberg

What are open parking spaces?

This does not mean public parking spaces. Open parking spaces are usually:

  • A storage area open on the side walls, not a barn or shed or similar.
  • Carports, covered parking spaces
  • Uncovered parking spaces
  • Parking available on a property
  • Outdoor parking spaces

Why solar carports?

In § 8b it is defined that " a photovoltaic system is to be installed above the parking space suitable for solar use There is no alternative as with the obligation of photovoltaic systems for new non -residential buildings. It cannot be installed on other outdoor areas or in its immediate spatial surroundings photovoltaic systems and the area content used by this can be credited to the fulfillment of duties. No suitable area can also be leased to a third party.

In short, a solar carport is a free-standing covered parking space (carport, literally “carport”) for cars with a covered solar or photovoltaic system.

The regulations for the construction and operation of carports are usually dealt with in the garage regulations of the federal states. There they are referred to as “open garages”. According to the sample cooking regulation (M-Garvo), you have directly into the open leading openings that are at least 1/3 of the total area of ​​the surrounding walls. Fire protection requirements are generally eliminated. In contrast to a garage, only point and no line or surface foundations are required. In Germany, according to the provisions that have been in force since 2014, a manufacturer's qualification according to DIN EN 1090 must be demonstrated.

As a rule, a carport is made of wood, steel or aluminum, but there are also plastic versions. Carports have a flat roof, higher quality versions have more complex constructions such as a gable roof, hipped roof or a barrel roof. A carport can be open on all sides, although elements are also available with which individual segments can be completely or partially closed. These elements can be made of sheet steel, wood, glass, WPC panels (wood-plastic composite), HPL panels (high-pressure laminates) or polycarbonate double-wall panels. In contrast to the garage, the carport is open at least on one side. A common variant of roof covering is corrugated metal, trapezoidal metal or their transparent forms, corrugated profile light panels or trapezoidal panels. Open carports without a roof are usually used as a visual border for outdoor parking spaces in order to highlight them from surrounding open spaces. The free areas of the roof are increasingly being used for solar systems and extensive green roofs.

Suitable for:

  • More green electricity from solar carports – the solar filling station of the future
  • Solar carports with electricity storage as solar charging stations for electric cars

Are there exceptions to the requirement for a solar system for new parking spaces?

  • Parking spaces located directly along public roads are exempt from this obligation.
  • The responsible building law authorities can grant exceptions, particularly for urban planning reasons.

Where is the responsible building law authority?

  • Depending on the location in which the construction project is located, the responsible building law authority is the municipality/city administration or the district office.

Which solar carport system is recommended?

“There are many good approaches. But none is like the Helios Carport System from T.Werk GmbH from Ellzee. flexibly applicable for individual solar carports

System seems at T.Werk program. As with all of its products, T.Werk attaches great importance to high quality, fast structure and flexible applicability, which in the end pays off. This also applies to the Helios Carport from T.Werk, where planning security is at the top, avoiding expensive corrections and retrofits. ”
