Surya is the sun as well as the solar deity in Hinduism
Surya is traditionally one of the major five deities in the Smarta tradition, all of whom are considered equivalent deities in the Panchayatana puja and a means to realise Brahman.
Surya is often depicted riding a chariot harnessed by horses, seven in number which represent the seven colours of visible light, and the seven days of the week. Surya as a deity is also found in the arts and literature of Buddhism and Jainism. In the Mahabharata and Ramayana, Surya is represented as the spiritual father of Rama and Karna (protagonists of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, respectively).
Surya is depicted with a Chakra, also interpreted as Dharmachakra. Surya is the lord of Simha (Leo), one of the twelve constellations in the zodiac system of Hindu astrology.

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.
