Two cars are parked under a metal carport with a green-tinted ground and structured roofing. The carport has a modern design with angled support beams.
Independence from rising electricity costs

Production of renewable energy on already sealed parking areas

Advantages in energy balance certification of buildings

Greater comfort thanks to snow free parking in winter

Cool, shady parking in summer

Loading and unloading of the vehicles in dry conditions when it rains

Charging station and energy provider for electric bicycle/scooter or car

Fit for energy and mobility of the future

Feed-in tariff according to German renewable energy law (EEG)

A shaded parking structure with solar panels installed on the roof is in an empty lot, with two cars parked under it. Surrounding buildings are visible in the background.

SUSTAINABLE AND RELIABLE PLANNING

THE IDEAL COMPLEMENT TO THE SOLAR ROOF.

Especially on company roofs, photovoltaic systems are a welcome measure. However, the roof surfaces are often too small or simply unsuitable to be able to decisively improve the energy balance. Solar carports are the ideal supplement or alternative for the large-scale use of photovoltaic power generation.

Electricity costs will continue to rise. But the SunRide carport will provide you with free and sustainable electricity for years after the investment phase is over. This gives you planning security. Invest in the future and in an independent power supply with affordable energy.

INDIVIDUAL AND EFFICIENT

MODULAR SYSTEM FOR JUST THE RIGHT SOLUTION.

Each unit is configured individually according to the customer’s requirements based on the selected basic design using the following parameters: 
 

  • Module type and design
  • System size
  • Terrain conditions
  • Column spacing or parking space layout


Numerous extensions can be additionally planned on site (e.g., effective drainage systems, cable routing, inverter mounts, and advertising spaces)
