A place in the shade.
Covered parking for employees, customers and visitors, with a more comfortable arrival experience.
COMMERCIAL SOLAR CANOPIES + EV CHARGING
Put your parking
to work.
Covered parking. On-site solar. A place to charge.
Explore what your commercial property could become.
Make room for more.
One parking area. Several possibilities.01 / THE CONCEPT
Shade above.
Possibility below.
A solar canopy adds a supporting structure above parking spaces, with solar panels on top. The electricity can serve the property, charging equipment, or both, depending on the system design.

Illustrative energy relationships, not an electrical design. Solar output varies with weather and time of day. Charging may also use grid electricity. Outage backup requires a specifically designed system; solar alone does not guarantee backup power.
02 / MORE FROM THE SAME FOOTPRINT
Energy, on your site.
Generate electricity where it can be used. The right system may reduce purchased electricity, depending on usage and utility arrangements.
Charging with a plan.
Plan charging around who parks, how long they stay and what their vehicles need, with room to consider future expansion.
03 / BUILD AROUND YOUR PROPERTY
Start with the site.
Shape the solution.
We are developing Park Place Solar around project discovery, site evaluation and coordination for commercial properties, with no fixed geographic service boundary.
Solar parking canopies ↗
Explore structures over existing parking, taking account of circulation, clearances, accessibility, drainage and site conditions.
Integrated EV charging ↗
Consider charger locations, electrical capacity and how drivers will use the spaces, alongside the canopy plan.
Storage & future capacity ↗
Evaluate optional batteries and future charging expansion where the technical and business case supports them.
04 / OUR INTENDED PROJECT PATHWAY
Good projects start
with better questions.
Talk about the property.
Start with your goals, parking use and what you want the site to do.
Look at the essentials.
Review parking layout, electricity use, available capacity and charging needs.
Evaluate the fit.
Consider engineering, utility requirements, economics and qualified delivery partners.
Define a next step.
If feasible, develop a site-specific proposal and clarify scope and responsibilities.
Early-stage project conversations are welcome. Engineering, installation, financing and maintenance arrangements must be established for each project.
05 / WHO IT COULD SERVE
Where people park,
there may be potential.
Commercial owners & property managers · Workplaces & office campuses · Retail centers · Dealerships · Fleet operators
Suitability depends on the property, utility and proposed use. The first conversation is about finding out.
06 / QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

it clearer.
