French startup KparK Énergies has developed a solar carport made from anodized aluminum construction.
François Fougere, Deputy General Manager at KparK Energie, said: PV Magazine The company is equipping the carport with 425 W double-sided double-glazed panels. The system includes a matte white background that enhances the albedo effect, compensating for the lower yield due to the PV system’s flat design.
The modules are flat mounted and not visible from the outside, and are connected to an Enphase 8ac microinverter and a ventilation rail device to prevent inverter clipping.
The system has an output of 5kW and is available in two standard versions: the first is 5.2 metres x 3.7 metres with eight solar panels, the second is 5.2 metres x 6.1 metres with 12 modules.
The carports will accommodate one or two electric vehicle charging stations, operate in direct self-consumption mode and will integrate a virtual battery from September.
