Preamble
A shade house is a structure allowing cars to be parked in the shade in a parking lot. We speak of a photovoltaic shade when it is topped with a solar panel. These shades allow cars to stay in the shade while producing green electricity.
We offer Photovoltaic Shades for:
- Large area parking,
- Vehicle storage area,
- Heavy goods vehicle parking,
- Public parking area, etc.
AD POWER WATER, expert in photovoltaic solutions, supports professionals in their projects by offering them a wide range of photovoltaic power plants adapted to their needs.
This solution aims to protect your customers' and/or employees' vehicles from external elements such as bad weather and sunlight, while optimizing energy consumption.
This technology makes it possible to combine:
- Vehicle protection,
- Energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Structure of a Photovoltaic Shade
The structure of a photovoltaic shade can be made up of a metal frame, steel with metal cladding, or a wooden frame. Generally metallic, the supporting structure supports custom-sized rails, on which a fixing system for the photovoltaic panels rests.
Beforehand, the geotechnical engineering study defines the foundations for the masonry. The construction then adapts to the characteristics of the parking lot operation:
- The power of the photovoltaic inverter
- The type of parking spaces (single, double, angled, etc.)
- The layout of the project (pedestrian walkway, etc.)
AD POWER WATER supports you from the study of the project to the final commissioning phase, including the administrative, urban planning and technical procedures for the work.
Solar shades for what type of parking?
AD POWER WATER offers its services for the integration of photovoltaic shade structures in all types of car parks, including the following:
- Hypermarket and shopping center car parks
- Company car parks
- Airport, railway or bus station car parks
- Exhibition center car parks
- Park parking lots
- Public parking lots
Ideal for large areas, photovoltaic shades can be installed over thousands of m² representing powers of up to several MWp.
The advantages of photovoltaic shade houses
The main advantages of installing a shade house are as follows:
Improve the comfort of visitors, customers or employees
A photovoltaic shade serves as protection against bad weather for employees' or customers' vehicles. By offering this shelter, the company improves the comfort of its users while strengthening its reputation and brand image. Collect rainwater for secondary use (vehicle washing, toilets, watering, etc.).
Save money on your energy bill
Faced with increasing electricity prices, installing parking lot shades is a cost-effective decision. Indeed, solar energy offers an economical alternative to efficiently manage energy costs.
Achieve CSR objectives
Integrating green electricity production into your corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy can help improve your carbon footprint by expanding renewable energy sources.
The different uses of the energy produced
Photovoltaic self-consumption
By using your own electricity produced by your parking canopies, you can reduce your electricity bill through self-consumption. You produce then consume your own solar energy on your site and sell the surplus: this is self-consumption with sale of paid surplus over long periods.
Network injection
By opting for network injection, you have the possibility of marketing the electricity that you generate at a constant rate on the national electricity network.
The sale of your production guarantees you a fixed income over 20 years for a turnkey project.
The performance of a photovoltaic shade house
The efficiency of a solar panel is determined by the amount of solar energy transformed into electricity, expressed as a percentage. High efficiency is achieved when the panel produces more solar electricity.
The quality of the solar panel, the amount of sunlight, the tilt of the shade and the temperature are all factors that influence performance.
The efficiency of photovoltaic cells decreases when the temperature exceeds 45°C. According to studies on existing sites, the average efficiency of a photovoltaic panel varies from 13% to 24%.

The price of a photovoltaic shade house
The price of a photovoltaic car park shade depends on several parameters:
- The geographical location of your photovoltaic project
- The urban characteristics of the installation area of your parking shades
- The price of raw materials and the structure, which evolves according to international prices
- The extent of road works and networks generated
AD POWER WATER supports you at each stage of your solar project and offers you turnkey solutions.
