Solar-powered site huts for every construction site
The larger the construction site, the greater its daily electricity requirements: lighting, air conditioning and heating, battery-powered machinery, and vehicles that need to be recharged and ready to go by the next morning. With UV.container, construction companies can make their sites energy-independent and harness solar power for spaces, equipment and vehicles. UV.container are standardised site huts equipped with PV systems that can be easily linked together, transforming the limited space on construction sites into a local energy infrastructure and serving a dual purpose. Simple, efficient, scalable.
Solar construction containers: ingeniously simple and incredibly useful
Energy demand on construction sites remains consistently high, and the opportunities to switch from combustion-engine-powered machinery and vehicles to electric ones are expanding. As a result, electricity demand continues to rise. Added to this are increasing demands on air conditioning in staff rooms due to rising temperatures caused by climate change.
UV.containers solve these challenges by converting solar energy into usable energy, on the construction site, for the construction site. Whether for direct consumption or storage, whether for air conditioning or heating, as a charging station for cordless screwdrivers and other machinery, or as a charging point for electric construction site vehicles.

The benefits of UV.container
Save money,
protect the environment
The permanent connection between the PV system and the site hut is cost-effective and helps protect the climate from the very first minute of use.
Stay one step ahead
of the competition
With UV.container, you can set up state-of-the-art construction sites and make day-to-day work noticeably easier: comfortably heated break and work areas, and reliably charged vehicles and machinery.
Make sure you make the
perfect impression
UV.container not only generates energy from sunlight; it also makes the construction site itself shine, turning it into a statement of a modern construction company.
Stay cool at work
UV.container units do more than just supply power to rest and work areas on construction sites. With optimal climate control, it’s easier to work: with greater concentration, focus and efficiency. And in a more environmentally friendly way.
Become a role model for
sustainable site facilities
With UV.container, you can set up construction sites in an environmentally friendly way. Your energy needs are met by the on-site solar power systems installed on the roof of each individual container. Fully equipped with all the necessary connections, they are ready for immediate use.
Show your electricity
the shortcut
No long cables, no complicated installations for powering your construction site. The energy flows straight from the roof to the equipment and machinery. This makes solar power mobile for any construction site.

Financing
-
What financing options are available?
We have developed three financing options to offer a financially viable solution for everyone.
The most commonly used option is the so-called Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): UV.energy builds the system, and the customer receives the solar power generated by the system under a long-term, reliable contract.
Those who wish to own and use the PV power plant immediately should opt for the direct purchase: UV.energy designs, supplies and installs the system for immediate use. You receive a clear price with no hidden costs and can get started straight away.
If you would like to own a system from UV.energy but cannot or do not wish to opt for a direct purchase, you can choose to finance the system through UV.energy. Together with a reliable financial partner, we can make this option available to you. Please get in touch!
-
How much does a system cost?
The total cost of a facility depends on the number of UV.carports. There are also costs associated with soil testing. In order to plan a UV.carport facility and implement the project cost-effectively, we require a minimum of 10 spaces. You will receive a project proposal, including a guide price, once the planning has been finalised on our calculator.
Design
-
Will all the cars fit in the car park?
UV.carports are designed to accommodate even tall and wide vehicles. The height is sufficient to accommodate even small vans and motorhomes. The width of a UV.carport is flexible and, as standard, covers parking bay widths from 2.30 m to 2.70 m. The clear height of the UV.carport system is 3.00 m at the rear of the supports and approximately 3.15 m at the front.
-
How is the electricity connected?
The power cables and all other technical components are integrated into the roof of the UV.carports. All the necessary connections are pre-configured here, so that the individual UV.carports can be linked together using a simple and secure plug-in system. The inverters are mounted on the rear of the carports at a safe height or, on request, can be grouped together in the vicinity of the parking area to ensure better access, for example for maintenance. If the electricity from the photovoltaic systems is to be used within a building, we will work with you to plan the necessary installation and cabling.
Benefits
-
Is there a minimum size for a carport?
UV.carport has been developed to transform large infrastructure sites into energy infrastructure. The system therefore really comes into its own over larger areas. Optimal performance is achievable with a minimum of 10 units. Furthermore, UV.carport can be expanded indefinitely.
-
Can UV.carport also be used to charge electric cars?
Even in their standard configuration, UV.carports are already future-proofed for charging electric cars. For you, this means you can easily upgrade your UV.carport to an electric charging station at any time—or order it that way from the start. It’s reassuring to know that we designed the structure from the ground up to be vandal-proof.
-
Which areas are suitable?
Ideally, the site for a UV.carport installation should provide space for at least 10 carports, plus the necessary manoeuvring space for the vehicles. It is also important to have a load-bearing surface to ensure that the ground anchors are firmly secured. UV.energy will carry out a professional ground assessment on your behalf.
