Photovoltaic carport
V-TYPE CARPORT
The V-type carport is a steel structure that ensures sensible and aesthetically pleasing use of parking space.
It is based on two posts connected at the far end of the roof support beam and made of hollow sections to ensure the strength of the structure.
The height of the carport is fixed with any modification requiring a design change according to the user's instructions or raising/lowering the foundations. The sections the roof is made of have a number of mounting holes to facilitate flashings or the installation of associated equipment, such as an inverter, car charger or lighting.
The V-type carport is available in two widths: 5 m and 5.7 m with an extended parking width to reduce the risk of doors colliding with the structure.
The V-type carport allows parking on both the higher and lower sides, so that its positioning on the parking space does not depend on the geographical direction corresponding to the exposure of the PV panels to sunlight.
The canopy of the carport is formed by photovoltaic panels which produce green electricity for own use or for resale to the power grid. The canopy protects the vehicles parked underneath from precipitation and excessive exposure to sunlight.
The V-type carport is a functional solution for car parks with in-row parking arrangement.

Photovoltaic panels installed on the roof play a dual role, becoming a key element in promoting sustainable development and energy efficiency. Their primary task is to produce green electricity for their own use or for resale to the power grid. Car parks are surfaces which are particularly favourable for the production of energy from photovoltaic panels. Large areas exposed to the sun can generate energy, the potential consumers of which are the facilities (shops, businesses) that are most often located in close proximity to them.
The structures we offer allow photovoltaic panels to be installed on the surfaces of car parks that already exist, e.g. in city centres, which is an alternative considering the high price of land.
Another key role of the carport is to protect vehicles from adverse weather conditions such as hail, snow or rain and to ensure thermal comfort by providing shade for the parked vehicles and preventing the interior of the cars from overheating, which is particularly valuable during hot summer days.
