On behalf of Porsche, the company I+R Energie is developing photovoltaic carports with integrated charging stations.The Austrian company was awarded the contract 15 months ago.A prototype of the overhang has now been used on the North Sea island of Sylt.In cooperation with a Stuttgart architect's office, the Vorarlberg-based company has created a modular system that it describes as a "covered parking space for two cars in an elegant steel construction, covered by special glass elements with photovoltaic cells".The latter generate between 2,464 and 2,900 kWh per year or convert solar energy into 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers of purely electric driving, the manufacturer calculates.The charging stations are integrated into the steel supports.The glass roof is 50 percent transparent, so that enough daylight comes through, but it also provides shade in summer.In addition to its weather resistance, which has been tried and tested on Sylt, the carport must of course also be transportable.“A high level of prefabrication is essential.That's why we designed a system construction that can be adapted to any desired location," says Felix Köhnlein, site manager at I+R Energie.Another advantage of the prefabricated elements: The carport can be built and put into operation on site with regional craftsmen.It is suitable for commercial and private users."We have already received the first inquiries from Porsche AG bases," says Felix Köhnlein happily.The prototype offers space for two vehicles, extensions should also be possible in the future.pv-magazine.de, vol.at, openpr.de (details)I would be interested in your solar carport Regards Tatavitto NicoYour email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *.I have read and accepted the data security declaration.*Subscribe to our newsletter conveniently by email.electrive.net is the industry service for electric mobility.The “electrive.net today” newsletter conveniently delivers the relevant international news to your inbox on weekdays.The website offers pictures, videos, specialist articles, studies and dates.Categories from cars to aviation provide an overview and cover all areas of e-mobility.
