Image
Apollo is the Greek god of the sun and light, but he also had many more roles to play within Greek mythology.

Apollo is the Olympian god of light, music and poetry, healing and plagues, prophecy and knowledge, order and beauty, archery and agriculture. An embodiment of the Hellenic ideal of kalokagathia, he is harmony, reason and moderation personified, a perfect blend of physical superiority and moral virtue. A complex deity who turns up in art and literature possibly as often as Zeus himself, Apollo is the only major god who appears with the same name in both Greek and Roman mythology.

BRANDING
For outside an office building or a public car park? Brand this product for your business or offer advertising space, both are available.

Apollo – Modular Steel Solar PV Canopy

Apollo-Steel-Frame-Solar-PV-Canopy-with-10-Degree-Pitch-Product-Image

(available without solar panels/electrical items if required)

Straight Forward Elegant Simplicity.

There are many good reasons to install a solar canopy in your carpark.  As the number of electric cars in the UK grows so do the requirements to charge them, especially in car parks, and this is set to increase rapidly.  If you wish to supply free charging to your staff or customers or you would like to increase the revenue from your parking spaces the Thor has the flexibility to fulfil many needs.

Apollo is a steel frame solar canopy that has been designed as a cost-efficient robust solution to providing solar power generation directly from your car park. This modular carport requires 10m in width but can be as long as required, simply with the ‘add-on’ units. The starter unit is a two leg structure and includes purlins and solar panels. Further ‘add on’ units consisting of another support section, set of purlins, roofing panels, fixings and solar panels.  The add-ons can be installed with up to 11.25m between leg spans  and can be installed with the starting unit or at any future time.

Pegasus solar canopy is ideal for any commercial carpark, office, shop or to provide solar capacity and dry cover for any reason.. The elegant and simple design means this structure looks great outside any building.

We can even install timber inlays into the steels, add branding, colour code and provide methods to offer advertising space.

system includes:

JA Solar 595W Mono PERC Half-Cell MBB Traceable LB MC4

can be supplied without panels and electricals if required

Apollo Starting Unit

  • An Apollo starting unit (at 12.5m) includes 56 x 595W JA Solar Mono PERC Half-Cell Solar Panels
  • Giving a total Watt power rating of 33.32 kW (per 17.5m starter section)
  • Available in 'Kit Form' or 'Fully Installed'
  • All required cables and connectors are included*
  • Clear installation instructions with video (requires professional electrician to install)

Easy to extend now or at a future time...   Add on units can provide additional roof space and create a structure of any length.  Each add-on unit can add up to another 11.25m of roof space and 6 standard parking bays per section.

Apollo Add-On Unit

  • An Apollo add-on unit (at 11.25m) includes an additional 44 x 595W JA Solar Mono PERC Half-Cell Solar Panels
  • Giving a total Watt power rating of 26.18 kW (per 7.5m add-on section)^
  • Available in 'Kit Form' or 'Fully Installed'
  • Can be added with starter unit installation or at a future date.
  • All required cables and connectors are included*
  • Clear installation instructions with video (requires professional electrician to install)

*includes all required electrical cables and connectors required to supply a junction box up to 20m from the structure.  We can supply/install additional items such as steel housing units and inverters.
^at some lengths the add on units can create an additional column of panels thus providing space for 3 additional panels

Note: You may also require a charge controller, inverter or smart meter depending on where you are sending the power from these panels.  If you are unsure please speak with your electrician or please do get in touch. We welcome all enquiries.

Flexible widths for flexible parking layouts

Parking Bay Sizes: When assessing the area needed for staff and customer parking, it should be noted that the current UK norm for parking spaces is 2.4m wide by 4.8 m long. However please note that several models of modern vehicles are more the 4.8m long.  The recommended space for manoeuvring (roadways) between bays is 6m. These dimensions are neither minimum nor written in tablets of stone, and may be revised to suit your particular needs, but remember that good access and wider bays aids efficient use of the parking area.  KaraSolar will use a standard size parking bay of 2.5m wide by 5.0m long unless stated otherwise.

For more information on parking in the UK visit: The British Parking Association

Bay Sizes For Motorists With Disabilities: The BSI British Standards Code provides some guidance as to what is required - disabled access parking spaces should be 2400mm x 4800mm with a 1200mm wide marked access zone between spaces and a 1200mm wide safety zone for boot access. Government guidelines (Inclusive Mobility published by DfT) recommend that 6% of parking should be allocated to disabled people, unless otherwise covered by local planning regulations. The guidance also recommends how to identify these spaces, with special markings and signage.

EV Charger Bay Sizes: It is recommended to leave additional access zones between parking bays intended for EV Charging.  This allows for some vehicles that plug and charge from the side. These bays should also be clearly marked and include eye level signage.

Disabled EV Charger Bays: As the number of electric vehicles in the UK grows as will the requirement for EV charger bays.  There are currently no guidelines on providing disabled parking bays with EV chargers so we highly recommend creating EV charger bays with the required 1.2m marked area between the bays and thus automatically making all your EV charger bays suitable for people with disabilities.
