BIPV Carport

Power Meets Protection

By integrating photovoltaic cells directly into overhead glazing, we create active shading devices that do far more than shelter vehicles.

ISSOL® BIPV modules regulate light transmission, reduce solar heat gain (g-value), and generate clean electricity — all while maintaining the aesthetic purity of a modern carport structure.

  • Natural Light: Semi-transparent glass creates a bright, welcoming space beneath while blocking harmful UV and heat.
  • Clean Energy: Every covered parking bay contributes to the building or campus energy balance.
  • Overhead Safety: Laminated safety glass, EN 12600 tested — engineered as a structural roofing element.
  • Bifacial Option: Captures sunlight from above and reflected light from the ground surface below.
  • Made in Belgium: Manufactured at SOLTECH, Genk — your certified BIPV partner.
EV Ready

Close the loop between generation and consumption

Pair your BIPV solar carport directly with an EV charging point. Vehicles charge from the clean energy generated overhead — eliminating grid dependency for daily commuter charging.

Carport Applications

From residential driveways to large-scale commercial car parks — every configuration benefits from BIPV glass.

🏠

Residential Villas

Replace a standard carport canopy with energy-generating safety glass. Maximise ROI per square metre while enhancing the home’s architectural quality.

🏢

Commercial Car Parks

Large-scale deployments where every parking space contributes to campus or building energy. Pair with EV charging for a fully closed energy loop.

🏭

Industrial & Campus

Factories, logistics hubs, and corporate campuses with extensive surface parking. High surface area equals high generation potential.

🛍️

Retail & Hospitality

Covered parking as a customer experience differentiator. BIPV canopies signal sustainability credentials to visitors and tenants.

The recommended product

The Transparent Standard for PV Carports

Maximum energy efficiency without compromising on design.

Engineered for weather, load & longevity

Safety & Standards

Carport structures are load-bearing and weather-critical elements. ISSOL® modules are rigorously tested to perform as effective overhead protection structures across every season and climate.

🛡️

Impact Resistance

EN 12600 Pendulum Test — certified laminated safety glass for overhead structural use.

❄️

Snow & Wind Load

Structural load calculations engineered per site location and local climate data requirements.

💧

Fully Waterproof

Sealed gutter system — no secondary underlay required. The glass roof IS the waterproofing layer.

Durability

Laminated safety glass with EVA/PVB interlayer. IEC 61215 / 61730 certified for long-term performance.

Frame & Finish

Integration Options

ISSOL® Square is compatible with aluminium, steel, and timber frames — suitable for new builds and renovation projects alike. Custom sizing and powder-coated finish in any RAL colour ensures seamless integration with existing architectural language.

  • Frame: Aluminium — Qualicoat quality standard
  • Colours: RAL 9001 / 7016 / 8019 or custom
  • Wiring: Concealed inside profiles & members
  • Depth range: 2,956 mm – 6,576 mm
  • Max panel width: 4,350 mm
Light, Shade & Energy

Bifacial Performance

ISSOL® Square integrates bifacial monocrystalline PERC cells in a clean, square grid. The bifacial option captures sunlight from both directions — including reflected light from the ground — enhancing energy yield in horizontal carport applications.

  • Transparency: Adjustable 10% – >60% via cell spacing
  • Cell type: Monocrystalline PERC (G1/M10)
  • Glass: Extra-clear tempered / EVA or PVB interlayer
  • Certifications: IEC 61215/61730, EN 356 P1A
