The demand for transparent solar modules for solar parking lot roofing (solar carport for short) is increasing.They attract attention.Individual design and ecologically green solutions are no longer a contradiction in terms.The real problem is that not all modules have the building authority approval for this.More precisely, as good as none.However, we can mediate two solar module manufacturers who have meanwhile obtained approval for overhead approval.The demand for transparent solar modules for solar parking lot roofing (solar carport for short) is increasing.They attract attention.Individual design and ecologically green solutions are no longer a contradiction in terms.The real problem is that not all modules have the building authority approval for this.More precisely, as good as none.However, we can mediate two solar module manufacturers who have meanwhile obtained approval for overhead approval.The demand for transparent solar modules for solar parking lot roofing (solar carport for short) is increasing.They attract attention.Individual design and ecologically green solutions are no longer a contradiction in terms.In the case of the transparent solar modules, the solar cells are still not translucent.The transparency effect or semi-transparency is created by the translucent space between the individual solar cells.This is made possible by the double glazing of the solar cells in a solar module.With the polycrystalline (medium blue) and monocrystalline (dark blue/black) solar cells, interesting design variants of solar modules can be produced.The color of the glass that encloses the solar cells can also be adjusted accordingly.Anything is possible, from shimmering red to green.However, all of this also has an impact on the electricity yield and the performance of the solar modules.It should also be taken into account that transparent solar modules generally result in reduced performance compared to standard solar modules.The real problem is that not all modules have the building authority approval for this.More precisely, as good as none.However, we can mediate two solar module manufacturers who have meanwhile obtained approval for overhead approval.The penetration resistance (test of invasiveness) and residual load-bearing capacity of the modules were tested.The latter must be able to withstand the loads that occur (e.g. snow).Even in the event of damage, a minimum load-bearing capacity must still be guaranteed.In the event of glass breakage, the solar modules must be secured against falling fragments.The most impressive advantage of glass is its durability and its almost indestructible properties due to the elements.With a general technical approval (abZ) from the DIBt, interesting solar carport overhead installations and terraces overhead glazing as well as solar facades and balcony power plants with transparent double glass solar modules can be installed.This approval allows unrestricted use of the transparent solar modules.Anything is possible, right down to large-area car park roofs, roofing of industrial halls or roofing of sports facilities and sports arenas.An important area for transparent glass-glass / double-glass solar modules are solar carports.While one can still speak of a standard solution for single and double carports with photovoltaics (here, too, there are structural differences in the relevant main and auxiliary buildings, which in individual cases require a special solution), individual solutions are necessary for row carports in any case.This starts with the different access routes, different room layouts and differences in the respective lanes.By submitting this form, you consent to pv magazine using your data to publish your comment.Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties for the purpose of spam filtering or if this is necessary for technical maintenance of the website.Any further disclosure to third parties does not take place unless this is justified by applicable data protection regulations or pv magazine is legally obliged to do so.You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.In this case, your personal data will be deleted immediately.Otherwise your data will be deleted when pv magazine processes your request or the purpose of data storage has been fulfilled.Further information on data protection can be found in our data protection declaration.Imprint Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy © pv magazine 2022The website uses cookies to anonymously count the number of visitors.To learn more about this, please read our privacy policy.×The cookie settings on this website are set to "allow cookies" to give you the best browsing experience possible.If you continue to use this website without changing your cookie settings or you click "Accept" below then you are consenting to this.
