Visionpark stated its novel photo voltaic carport resolution is self-weighted and requires no basis. It could reportedly host every kind of photo voltaic panels and be put in shortly.

French startup Visionpark has developed a photo voltaic carport resolution based mostly on concrete.
“The concrete construction we use is self-weighted and requires no basis,” the corporate’s founder, Armand Téolis, instructed pv journal France. “Above all, it is rather fast to put in. For instance, a 500 kW set up might be accomplished in fifteen days. There’s due to this fact no have to anchor the construction and destroy the car parking zone for the civil engineering work required for the metal shade constructions.”
Based on Téolis, the development of the carport solely requires digging the bottom, pouring the concrete foundations and ready for drying within the following three weeks. “With our groups, we are able to set up 300 m2 to 500 m m2 in 24 hours. Set up at night time can also be attainable,” he added.

He additionally defined the concrete constructions are offered by Italian specialist Paver, which claims to have already put in 3,000 of the identical kind of construction on the opposite facet of the Alps. Made up of elements prefabricated in a manufacturing facility utilizing totally different moulds, the concrete monoblocks are transported to France after which assembled instantly on-site by Visionpark.
Weighing round ten tonnes, every shade construction can cowl the parking areas of eight automobiles. Adaptable to all varieties of areas and capabilities, the construction is licensed and might accommodate all varieties of photovoltaic panels, in keeping with the producer.

Whereas the concrete construction is Italian, the mounting system is 100% French, manufactured by Hydro. “Every little thing is built-in from the beginning into our concrete modules – the Halfen-type mounting rails, the screws, each in stainless-steel, in addition to the LED mild benches. The cable trays are beforehand built-in into the constructions and aren’t seen. This method avoids any threat of harm, chipping, or theft,” stated Téolis.
Based on Visionpark, the carport resolution is of curiosity to main gamers in mass distribution, in addition to producers. The corporate says its manufacturing capability ought to rise to 50 MW this yr – with the beginning of a primary challenge in France in June – and will shortly be prolonged to 150 MW, and even 200 MW in 2025, to satisfy the at the moment very excessive demand for photovoltaic shade techniques.
As for the answer value, Téolis stated that, along with a monetary benefit for purchasers when in comparison with an answer with foundations, the self-weighted shade constructions make it attainable to keep away from immobilizing a carpark and for some “keep away from a lack of turnover.”
