PV Carport
Turn every parking space into a clean energy generator. ISSOL® solar carports replace standard canopy roofing with energy-generating safety glass — EV-ready, bifacial, and fully waterproof.
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.
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 Transparent Standard for PV Carports
Maximum energy efficiency without compromising on design.
ISSOL® Square
ISSOL® Square seamlessly integrates high-performance PERC monocrystalline solar cells into a clean, square grid pattern. The optimal choice for BIPV carports — uniform aesthetic, adjustable transparency, bifacial energy capture from both above and below.
- Power Output ~150 Wp/m²
- Transparency 10% – 60%+ adjustable
- Technology Bifacial Option (+20% yield)
- Safety EN 12600 Impact Tested
- Max Panel Width 4,350 mm
- Frame CompatibilityAlu / Steel / Timber
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.
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
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
BIPV Solar Carport Projects
Real-world deployments delivering energy, shade, and measurable ROI — from corporate campuses to commercial car parks.
Corporate — Brussels, Belgium
Elia Green Building, Schaerbeek
A landmark solar canopy for Belgian grid operator Elia. 430 kWp of ISSOL® Square across 2,900 m² — producing ~400 MWh annually and reducing CO₂ by up to 100 tonnes per year. BREEAM “Very Good” certified.
Corporate HQ — Beekdalen
Van de Kreeke HQ, Beekdalen
A large-scale deployment of semi-transparent BIPV solar carports across a corporate campus. Every parking space is turned into a renewable energy source for the building it serves — natural light below, clean power above.
Commercial Carpark — Milan, Italy
Carpark Canopy, Milan
A commercial car park in Milan partly shaded by a BIPV canopy that generates its own energy — an ideal example of how existing car park infrastructure can be upgraded into a performing energy asset with minimal disruption.
