Solar Integrated Vehicle Protection: Commercial Parking
Solar Integrated Vehicle Protection: Commercial Parking
About
Parking directors and property managers no longer have to choose between ventilated covered parking and unsightly solar “carports”. VPS has introduced new structural designs that provide fabric-based shaded parking and clean energy producing solar array technology. These solar covered parking designs provide valuable shade for vehicles parked beneath, as well as the ability to generate clean, renewable energy. VPS solar parking products are available for grade-level and rooftop parking lots.
VPS can:
-
Integrate photovoltaic (PV) equipment and solar arrays into various structural designs
-
Develop customized solutions in partnership with your engineer and/or PV consultant
-
Design structures to accept custom-attachment points and integrated wiring
The Benefits of Solar Canopies for Parking Lots
Shaded parking
Our solar parking structures use fabric to shade vehicles in large parking areas. Customers and employees can enjoy cooler cars and potentially improve efficiency by using less fuel to run the air conditioner at the start of the trip.
Reduced energy consumption
Parking lots with solar panels can reduce energy consumption for businesses by generating energy that can be used to power their operations. This energy can then be used to power lighting, HVAC, appliances, equipment, and electric vehicle charging.
