SUSTAINABLE USE OF OUTDOOR CAR PARKS

POWERED BY EFFICIENT PHOTOVOLTAIC AND LED LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

LEDVANCE PHOTOVOLTAICS: YOUR ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

At the heart of our solution are high-performance bifacial PV modules that capture solar energy from both sides, maximizing yield from your carport installation. Paired with our highly efficient, easy-to-install inverters, the system ensures seamless conversion of solar power into usable energy – right from the start.

For projects seeking even greater energy independence and efficiency, our modular high-voltage battery storage system can be added to store excess energy and reduce reliance on the grid – intelligently managed for optimal performance.

And thanks to our monitoring app, you have full control and visibility of your system’s performance anytime, from anywhere.

SMART USE OF OUTDOOR CAR PARKS – WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC AND LIGHTING SOLUTIONS FROM LEDVANCE

Transform your car parking areas into high-performance, energy-efficient assets with our integrated lighting and photovoltaic solutions. At LEDVANCE, we specialize in delivering fully integrated solutions for cutting-edge solar technology along with intelligent LED lighting solutions – maximising sustainability and minimising operational costs.

As a competent comprehensive solutions provider, LEDVANCE is not only able to supply all photovoltaic system components but is also able to provide technical planning, including the necessary lighting solutions for parking areas, access and exit zones, as well as adjacent buildings.

THE CHALLENGE

Large outdoor parking areas represent untapped potential for renewable energy generation. Operators face the dual challenge of complying with new regulations while reducing operating costs and increasing sustainability. Covering expansive canopy roofs with solar modules requires precise integration of PV systems with safety, performance, and efficient lighting for vehicles and pedestrians.

THE SOLUTION

LEDVANCE, as an integrated solutions provider, planned and implemented a holistic photovoltaic and lighting system for the car park.

  • PV system: High-performance bifacial panels with stylish black frame, combined with robust three-phase inverters and optional battery storage for energy independence.
  • Lighting system: Smart LED solutions including streetlights for access roads, urban lanterns for open areas, damp proof luminaires for canopies, and floodlights for building facades — all ensuring safety, visibility, and reduced energy consumption.
  • Smart monitoring: A digital control app allows full oversight of system performance, ensuring long-term operational stability.

BENEFITS

High Energy Yield: Bifacial PV modules generate more energy by capturing sunlight on both sides.

Sustainability & Compliance: Meets new legislative demands such as the French APER law, while supporting electro-mobility with integrated EV charging readiness.

Efficient Lighting: Uniform, glare-free, and energy-efficient lighting ensures safety for cars and pedestrians.

Reduced Costs: Long-life luminaires and robust PV components lower maintenance and operational expenses.

One Partner – One Solution: LEDVANCE delivers PV + lighting + storage from a single source, streamlining project execution and ensuring maximum reliability.

SUMMARY

The project demonstrates how LEDVANCE transforms large car parks into sustainable, high-performing assets. With advanced bifacial PV modules, intelligent inverters, optional battery storage, and tailored LED lighting, the system provides a future-ready solution for operators of supermarkets, shopping centers, and fleet facilities.
By combining photovoltaic energy generation with efficient LED lighting, LEDVANCE sets new standards in sustainability, cost reduction, and long-term reliability for outdoor parking infrastructure.

LEDVANCE supported us in turning a regulatory challenge into a long-term opportunity. Today, our parking facility not only meets legal requirements but also generates sustainable energy while reducing operational costs.”
