Parking spaces are becoming power generators

Airports require large parking areas for visitors, passengers and staff. With UV.carports, they can make dual use of these spaces: as parking spaces for cars and as a solar power system to meet their own high electricity demand. Thanks to their integrated solar panels, UV.carports make airports less dependent on fluctuating electricity prices and effectively protect vehicles in outdoor car parks from the elements, particularly heat and hail. As effective shade providers, they ensure that airport users can then get into a pleasantly cool vehicle.

Charge electric cars directly

To cater for the growing number of electric vehicles, the best option is to upgrade UV.carports to serve as electric charging stations. This allows visitors, passengers and staff to charge their vehicles sustainably right at the airport. The technology housed in the roof of the UV.carports turns every single UV.carport into a charging station.
Connected to one another via a plug-in system, they form a large network of small electricity suppliers, which also helps airports meet their ESG commitments.

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!

About the financing models
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.

Installation whilst the system is running

Upgrading your airport’s car parks into shade-providing solar power plants can be done whilst operations continue as normal. For installation and connection, only individual sections of the car park need to be closed off at a time, and only for a short period. The prefabricated UV.carports are delivered by lorry and erected on site. The subsequent securing using ground anchors is completed in a flash. The technical installation, using a pre-prepared plug-in system, takes just a few minutes per UV.carport. Simply work out the figures!
