Hotel car park with EV charging bays

Lower running costs, better facilities

Shops, hotels and venues run long hours with steady demand for lighting, heating, cooling and refrigeration.

Destination charging gives customers and guests a reason to stay, and solar carports can generate over the same bays.

  • Solar sized to trading-hours demand
  • Destination charging for customers and guests
  • Solar carports over existing parking
  • Installation planned around opening hours
