Charging isn’t only a question for private car owners. Company fleets, municipal fleets and even the military can cover their own land with solar carports, producing cheap, clean power in the process.
Parking spaces that pay
The idea itself is simple. It is simply a more sensible use of land, and it is already happening every day. In this issue, we show the clever ways companies are putting car parks and derelict land to work, in cities and in the countryside alike. Land is becoming a valuable asset, and solar power adds real value to it, whether on open parking areas, in multi-storey car parks or in garages.
Electric mobility is giving the solar shift real momentum, and solar power is putting electric cars on the road all across Europe. Add powerful battery storage, and high charging outputs become possible, even for trucks that need several megawatts. More power means less time spent charging, and that keeps fleets and the wider market moving.
