SolarCatcher canopies generate abundant clean renewable energy to reduce energy bills in adjacent buildings. The level of savings will be significant and will vary subject to the current prevailing utility supplier rate and the number of bays covered; 100 bays will save £millions over the term of the contract.
Public sector car park owners pay nothing for the capital cost of installation or the ongoing management of SolarCatcher projects. You benefit in the form of substantially reduced electricity bills and a share of EV charging revenue.
Each SolarCatcher unit avoids 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per annum so a car park with 100 parking bays will see 110.4 CO2 tonnes emissions abated every year.
SolarCatcher's durable steel structure is adaptable in the form of 8 design types to provide flexible, expandable solutions for all car park configurations. There is no car park which cannot benefit from turning 'dead' spaces into energy generating, cost saving assets.
