It utilises integrated photovoltaic solar panels to convert sunlight into clean energy, offering a practical and eco-friendly solution for electric vehicle charging. This versatile carport supports up to two charging stations powered directly by its solar panels, enhancing its value for electric vehicle owners.

As per the sources, the aluminium solar carport comes packed with other exciting features like –

• microinverters
• virtual batteries
• electric vehicle charging stations

Each carport can accommodate one or two electric vehicle charging stations and operates efficiently in direct self-consumption mode. Starting in September, plans are underway to integrate virtual batteries, enhancing its energy storage capabilities. François Fougères, deputy general manager at KparK Énergies, stated that the carports have 425 W bifacial, double-glass panels. The system includes a matte white background to enhance the albedo effect, which helps compensate for lower yield due to the PV system's flat design.
