Solar car parks and solar car park systems are large-scale solar systems that cover parking areas in order to protect the vehicles from the weather and at the same time generate solar power on the roof.In contrast to this are solar carports, which usually only cover one or two vehicle parking spaces and at the same time generate solar power.Solar parking spaces are usually found in front of public buildings or in large parking lots, such as in front of supermarkets.Solar carports are more likely to be found in the private sector, for example in front of single-family homes.Solar parking spaces become interesting in connection with electromobility and solar batteries, since the regeneratively generated electricity is not fed into the public power grid.Before being fed into the public power grid, the direct current produced by the solar system would have to be converted into alternating current using an inverter, which inevitably leads to significant energy losses.However, the direct current produced by the solar system on a solar parking lot can be temporarily stored using a solar battery and then used directly to charge electric vehicles.Since both the solar battery and the rechargeable batteries of the electric vehicles use direct current, no lossy conversion of the direct current produced into alternating current that can be fed into the grid and then back into the direct current required for the electric vehicle is necessary.Solar parking systems offer various advantages.These include:Read more about solar parking systems and the advantages and disadvantages in our article advantages of solar parking systems >>>In the meantime, a large number of solar parking spaces have been installed in Germany, for example in Passau:There are a large number of providers who have specialized in the production and project planning of solar parking systems.It is even possible to fully outsource the investment in a solar parking lot and ongoing operations as companies are willing to lease existing large-scale parking lots from the owner, convert them to a solar parking lot and upgrade accordingly, and take on the long-term operations.All important information about the energy and mobility transition summarized for you weekly.Subscribe to our newsletter:All important information about the energy and mobility transition summarized for you weekly.Subscribe to our newsletter:About us Authors Advertise on EnergyloadReal green electricity Glass battery Graphene battery Supercapacitors & supercaps Saltwater batteries & saltwater accumulators Solid state batteries & solid state accumulator Tesla solar roof
