PV carports for the vehicle trade
We attach great importance to customer proximity, which is why we have spoken to many representatives from the vehicle trade in order to design our VOLTWINGS PV carports optimally for their needs. We are convinced that solar carports make sense for all sales and service operations – from cars and commercial vehicles to trucks.
We solve these problems for you:
Covering vehicles not only saves costs in the event of hail, but also a lot of trouble. Ideally, hail protection measures even pay for themselves – for example by generating electricity, like a PV carport.
VOLTWING PV carports are a predestined outdoor showroom for electric vehicles and enhance the location. Like no other carport, the VOLTWING T55 communicates sustainability, innovation and green mobility from afar. Of course, this also applies to the other VOLTWING solar carports.
The transition to electromobility poses challenges for many businesses. If their own vehicles and those of their customers need to be charged at the same time, the existing grid connection is often not sufficient. Increased solar power – ideally in combination with a storage system – means that more vehicles can be charged at the same time or at higher power levels. And every electric car customer will be delighted when the vehicle can be handed over fully charged on delivery or after servicing.
You don’t want to finance the whole project at once? We offer you attractive financing models, e.g. together with the Raiffeisen Association or pay-per-use models where you only pay for the kWh you receive. Simply contact us.
We do not build site-specific prototypes, but a series product of the highest MADE IN AUSTRIA mechanical engineering quality. We also rely on high-quality modules from Solarwatt (MADE IN GERMANY) with a 30-year product guarantee.
From integration into the ArchiCAD planning tool to the prefabricated submission plan – fast and smooth processing is in everyone’s interest.
There is currently a great deal of uncertainty regarding e-charging technology. We are convinced that the expansion will be even more comprehensive in the future, but we also understand why people do not want to equip every parking space with e-chargers today. Our systems are therefore designed in such a way that a charging point can be retrofitted at any parking space at a later date – without the need for excavation work.
Our products are designed to be as open as possible – in other words, you can flexibly combine the carports with inverters and storage units of your choice. This is a huge advantage if, for example, you want to expand your existing rooftop system with carports and remain in the same (energy management) system.
We are flexible when it comes to the height of the vehicles to be parked. Thanks to the integrated slope compensation, we also ensure uniform clearance over the entire length.
We only build cantilevered structures so that parking is always easy. In addition, the number of columns at VOLTWING is low due to the maximum 10.4m span between the columns. However, if something should happen, all our columns are able to cope with vehicle impacts.
Using the roof area to generate PV electricity makes sense, of course – but the energy generated is usually not enough to cover all consumers. Using the parking spaces twice increases in-house electricity production and creates cost security for decades. We support this further by using efficient technology to generate a maximum amount of electricity. In this way, we help you to reduce your operating costs in the long term.
This will inspire you and your customers:
It’s often the little things that make the difference. Especially in the summer months, for example, handing over a vehicle after a service is often no fun for customers. Why? Because the car, which was parked in the sun, is so hot that you can’t even touch the steering wheel properly. The use of carports, on the other hand, makes the customer just as happy as parking in the shade.
The futuristic design paired with the certainty that green electricity is being generated and charged here creates a positive feeling for the future and associates this with the market.
On the one hand, sustainability is a key purchasing criterion for more and more customers. On the other hand, employees also prefer to work for an employer that is committed to a planet fit for grandchildren. VOLTWING PV carports can be used to communicate and illustrate both of these points from afar.
The integrated lighting options for the surface and the pillars also make the carport shine at night and underline the futuristic design – true to the motto: “Light is the new chrome”. In order to regulate the energy consumption of the already highly efficient LEDs, all lighting variants can be controlled as required via motion detectors or the building technology.
Whether AC or DC charging. Every conceivable charging option can be integrated or combined. Especially in urban areas, the ability to charge while shopping is becoming increasingly important. And if it’s obviously green electricity – all the better.
