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 Indra has the flexibility to fulfil many needs.
The Surya steel frame solar carport has been designed as a cost-efficient robust solution to providing solar power generation directly from your car park. This modular carport requires 6m in width but can be as long as required, simply with the ‘add-on’ units. The starter unit is a 2 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 7.50m between leg spans and can be installed with the starting unit or at any future time.
The Surya solar carport is ideal for any commercial carpark, office, shop or even for domestic use. 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.

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.
