PV carports for chain stores
We attach great importance to customer proximity and have therefore spoken to many representatives of chain stores in order to design our VOLTWINGS PV carports optimally for the needs of chain stores. We are convinced that solar carports make sense for all chain stores, from grocery stores to DIY stores and drugstores, in terms of energy efficiency and also increase customer frequency, especially in summer.
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 continue to support this by using efficient technology to generate a maximum amount of electricity
Gone are the days when you needed a separate tender for each project. We offer you a series product with maximum flexibility that you can use at any location. No matter how complex the floor plan is, we will find a solution from the modular system. Naturally also in your corporate design, with or without lighting and e-charging technology.
Our price list provides your architects with cost transparency right from the planning phase
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.
We would be happy to draw up a life cycle assessment for your projects. Naturally also scalable via the modular system.
This will inspire you and your customers:
Do you also wonder, for example, whether a supermarket attracts more customers in summer if it has a shaded parking lot? As the summers get longer and hotter, shopping is becoming more and more of an ordeal for many people. Especially for older people and those with poor circulation, a 60-degree trolley is a danger, for many others it is simply annoying and unpleasant. We are therefore convinced that shading will become a differentiating feature in retail in the future. And if it rains, it is of course also convenient to store the trunk under cover.
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.
