Austria's largest carport PV system goes online in Wolkersdorf

The company electrify from Wolkersdorf has realized Austria's largest carport PV system. This brings into focus a category of space that has hardly been used so far: parking lots and parking areas that are already sealed anyway. For citizen energy communities like the DEA, this is an interesting food for thought, because carports offer a double benefit – shading for vehicles and electricity generation without additional land consumption. Especially in Vienna and Lower Austria, where suitable roof areas are not always sufficient, such solutions could become relevant for shared installations in the future as well. Anyone interested in the generation side of an energy community should keep an eye on such alternative space models – they expand the potential without creating new landscape consumption.
