In short: A solar carport is built in six steps: site analysis, profitability, planning, permits, construction and commissioning. The project usually takes several months, on-site construction often only a few weeks.
A solar carport combines steel construction, photovoltaics, structural design, grid connection, permits and often charging infrastructure. A clear process creates planning certainty early on. This is how we work:
Step 1: Site analysis
First we check whether your car park is suitable: number of spaces, area, orientation, shading, power consumption, grid situation and future use. After that, the potential can usually be assessed well.
Step 2: Profitability
We calculate possible system size, yield, self-consumption, feed-in, CO2 savings and profitability over the years, so you have a realistic basis before investing.

Step 3: Planning and concept
On this basis we develop the overall concept: structure, module layout, drainage, cabling, charging points, storage and expansion options. See which design fits in our system variants.
Step 4: Permits and grid connection
Whether a permit is required depends on the site and state law. We take care of permit planning, structural design, coordination with authorities and the grid operator, and the necessary certificates. Our type-approved structural design up to snow load zone 3 makes the process easier.
Step 5: Construction
We build in sections so that large parts of the car park remain usable. We manufacture and coat the steel structure in our own plants in Lower Bavaria. Steel, PV and electrical installation come from a single source.
Step 6: Commissioning
From now on your car park generates power. You benefit from lower energy costs, more independence, weather protection, more attractive parking and charging right at the vehicle.
Why everything from a single source
We build solar carports on a turnkey basis from a single source: steel structure, foundations, modules, inverters, charging points and grid connection. The structure spans up to 17 metres without columns between the parking spaces, and a type-approved structural design up to snow load zone 3 is available. See how it looks in practice at our own installation in Aldersbach.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a project take?
Depending on scope, permits and grid connection, usually several months. On-site construction often takes only a few weeks. You receive a realistic schedule during planning.
Does a solar carport need a permit?
In most cases yes. Requirements depend on the federal state and the project. We check this during planning.
Can the system be extended later?
Yes. The canopy is modular. Additional spaces, charging points or storage can be planned in from the start.
Is operation disrupted during construction?
As little as possible. We build in sections, and large parts of the car park remain usable.
