Enerqos and ESP are pleased to present their new solution: the Flexa Solar Parking, an innovative, multifunctional solar canopy.
This canopy combines acting as a simple weather protection for parked cars, with the environmentally friendly production of solar energy from the sun's rays. This new product will be showcased at SolarExpo 2009 which is taking place in Verona, Italy from the 7th – 9th May 2009.
Thanks to its functionality and easy assembly, the Flexa Solar Parking can be adapted to any car park design (linear, vertical, angled etc) whilst optimising the available surface space. Indeed, the flexibility of the canopy's structure enables it to be used in various ways – to shelter cars from the sun or to protect against hail storms for example, or even for greenhouses.
"Enerqos is always looking for new solutions to enable its clients to maximise the profits made from photovoltaic installations, whilst simultaneously streamlining the space devoted to their usage," comments Giorgio Pucci, Sales and Marketing Director at Enerqos.
"Our partnership with ESP is the result of a real strategic decision, which thus enables us to design and create innovative and attractive solutions for our clients."
"The refined, minimalist design of the Flexa Solar Parking allows it to be totally integrated into any environmental or architectural context," explains Fabrizio Piomboni, Director of ESP.
"The Flexa Solar Parking offers numerous advantages: the creation of covered parking spaces, optimisation of a space and its productivity, and savings on energy bills. For many companies this easy to integrate, ingenious structure is the perfect architectural solution to prove their dedication to the use and generation of renewable energies."
Technical features of the Flexa Solar Parking:
There are two models of the Flexa Solar Parking. The first, The Flexa Solar Parking has been designed to conform to all types of locations and withstand even the harshest climatic conditions such as snow, wind or rain.
The height of the 2 to 3.5 metre pillars can be customised to suit the building. The creation of the pillars was the result of careful study to allow easy access for cars without blocking the doors. Thanks to a system of beams, the pillars support a metal plate composed of photovoltaic panels. The incline of the plate increases panel productivity.
Each plate provides cover for two cars and consists of 15 photovoltaic panels allowing the potential production of 3.3 kWh of electricity. All the components of the Flexa Solar Parking are coated with galvanised zinc to guarantee maximum resistance to corrosion.
The second version of the Flexa Solar Parking is the Flexa Solar Parking II. This module is equipped with a double covering and provides cover for 6 cars.
