The Indra Car Canopy is a modular steel framed solar PV carport. Its modern minimal and elegant design ensures it looks great in any location.
This modular solar car canopy can be supplied at any required span, the structure is completely modular, the add-on units allow you to create a length of solar car canopy as long as you require. Starter units and the addons can span between 5.0m to 7.5m between legs, this offers multiple options for parking bay layouts. Shorter spans will require less panels, prices are for 7.5m spans, if you would like shorter span units or have any questions please do contact us.
This beautiful canopy comes with 21 x REC TwinPeak 5 Series 400 Wp PV Solar Panels (at 7.5m) Each panel has a watt peak (Wp) power rating of 400 Wp, giving a massive total of 8.4 kWp per unit.
Options can include self-contained systems with energy storage, CCTV cameras, internal or external lighting and of course EV charging. Using Rolec's amazing range of EV charge products we can either supply your EV Charger as Free-To-Charge or OpenCharge (pay-to-charge).

Indra, in Hindu mythology, the king of the gods.
Indra is the king of the devas (god-like deities) and Svarga (heaven) in Hindu mythology. He is associated with the sky, lightning, weather, thunder, storms, rains and rivers. Indra's myths and powers are similar to other Indo-European deities such as Jupiter, Zeus, and Thor. Indra is the most referred deity in the Rigveda. He is celebrated for his powers, and as the one who killed the great evil (a malevolent type of asura) named Vritra, who obstructed human prosperity and happiness.

Straight forward to install with elegant simplicity.
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 Indra has the flexibility to fulfil many needs.
The Indra steel frame solar carport has been designed as a cost-efficient robust solution to providing solar power generation directly from your car park. Designed with car parks in mind this modular carport can be as long as required by simply adding on additional units. The starter unit is a 2 leg structure and includes purlins and solar panels. Further ‘add on’ units can be installed to make the structure as long as required.
Additionally, the width variation between legs supports can vary from 5000mm to 7500mm (simply by adjusting the length of the purlins). This allows for maximum flexibility in the Indra filling the available space.

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.
