Demand and effort for larger solar parking spaces are high - we advise and help with solar carport planning and implementation!
The solution: Our solar carport planner
Solar parking spaces are a promising way to generate renewable energy while optimizing limited space requirements in cities and urban areas. However, there are actually some challenges that can complicate the introduction of such parking spaces.
One of the biggest hurdles is the high cost and planning effort associated with installing solar panels in parking lots. Not only must the cost of the solar panels themselves be taken into account, but also the cost of the infrastructure required to connect the panels to the grid. In addition, the space required for installing the solar modules must be precisely planned and coordinated to ensure effective use of the available space.
Another obstacle are bureaucratic hurdles and approval processes that can make it difficult to install solar panels in parking lots. Depending on the region or country, different rules and regulations may apply, which can complicate the approval and implementation process.
Despite these challenges, there is high demand for solar parking spaces as they represent an effective way to promote renewable energy while optimizing space requirements in urban areas. With careful planning and collaboration between the parties involved, the hurdles can be overcome to facilitate the introduction of such parking spaces.
➡️ We specialize in providing advisory and planning support for such solar carport projects and advancing their implementation.
➡️ With our solar carport planner we simplify the process.
➡️ We are there for you for the next steps and thus minimize costs and effort for you.

Solar parking spaces: challenges
When it comes to larger solar parking spaces, both the demand and the effort increase significantly. Such facilities can contain hundreds or even thousands of parking spaces and require careful planning to ensure maximum efficiency and profitability.
The effort required to install solar panels on a larger parking lot is considerable. Not only the solar modules themselves must be installed, but also the necessary infrastructure such as converters, cables and grid connections. In addition, the space required and the load on the floor must be taken into account to ensure a safe and stable installation.
In addition, bureaucratic hurdles and approval processes can become more complex for larger projects. Additional requirements and regulations may apply that may slow down or complicate the approval and implementation process.
On the other hand, demand for larger solar parking lots is high as they offer an effective way to generate renewable energy while optimizing space requirements in urban areas. Such systems can also play a significant role in reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving climate goals.
Overall, the installation of larger solar parking lots requires extensive planning and collaboration between various stakeholders such as planners, engineers, utilities and authorities to overcome the hurdles and ensure a successful implementation.
Solar carports improve the feel-good climate
Solar carports can improve the comfortable climate by protecting cars from the elements such as rain, snow and sun. This means cars stay maintained longer and are more pleasant to use. In addition, solar carports can be used to feed electricity into the home to reduce electricity costs. The electricity feed-in is absolutely CO₂-neutral, as only sunlight is needed to generate electricity. Solar power is also clean electricity and a plus for the environment and climate.
Solar carports can also be used as energy sources to be extremely helpful in various areas around the house. A solar carport provides clean energy for your own household and excess electricity can simply be fed into the power grid, which also leads to the feed-in tariff.
Standard solutions for parking spaces with solar carport solutions still work quite well in simple and smaller parking spaces. Carports with reflective roof coverings, which also direct solar radiation from below to the solar modules, can be equipped with so-called bifacial solar cells and converted into electricity. The modules can also be used as a carport roof themselves.
Overall, solar carports offer a good way to protect cars from the elements while generating and using clean energy, which benefits the environment and climate. There are different types of solar carports that can be customized according to needs and requirements. There are also state, federal and local funding programs that can be used when planning a solar system on the roof.
Did you already know? Our solar carport planner is also available to you as a white label solution
This means you can handle the high volume of orders without additional skilled workers and at the same time improve your customer service. In addition, you shorten the planning time and support customers in selecting the right components by specialists.
The goal: Use our planner for solar carports and solar terraces to compensate for the high order situation due to a lack of skilled workers!
