PV carports for hotels and restaurants
We attach great importance to customer proximity, which is why we have spoken to hoteliers, restaurateurs and other representatives from the tourism industry in order to design our VOLTWINGS PV carports optimally for their needs. We are convinced that solar carports offer many advantages for hotels and restaurants.
We solve these problems for you:
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 and thus reduce the operating costs of your business in the long term.
More and more guests are arriving by electric car. Overnight guests in particular are especially happy when they have a charging point at the hotel and don’t have to drive out to the first, overcrowded and expensive fast charger on their way home. Guests at restaurants, ski lifts, etc. are also happy if they can use the time when their car is parked to charge.
The more charging points are required, the greater the chance that the existing grid connection will not be sufficient. The increased solar power of PV carports – ideally in combination with a storage unit – means that more vehicles can be charged at the same time or at higher power levels.
Even though electric cars are a rapidly growing segment, we also understand that not every parking space wants to be equipped 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 any excavation work.
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.
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.
This will inspire you and your customers:
We ourselves, as well as many other electric car drivers, now choose our hotels according to whether we can charge there. It is simply more time-efficient and more convenient if you can continue your journey without having to stop to charge.
Certificates for sustainable travel are on the rise. Increase your ranking with more PV power and charging options.
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.
