SOLARWING

The SOLARWING model is suitable for both vertical and inclined parking.

Parking space 230cm x 500cm, distance between supports 690cm (up to 525m.a.s.l.)
Parking space 250cm x 500cm, distance between supports 500cm (up to 800m.a.s.l.) 

The impact protection of parking garages for cars less than 30kN dead weight, DIN standard DIN 1991-1-7/NA 
(impact load of 1000 kg frontal and lateral)

Roofing with in-roof or on-roof PV-system possible.

"Supporting structure made of 80% wood the most sustainable building material in the world".
 

Unlike the FLASH model, the support of the SOLARWING is vertical and made of an IPE steel profile. 
This allows even more freedom of movement when parking, getting in and out and when parking.

No obstruction by supports when parking and opening the doors, fixing the charging stations to the supports from the carport.  

 

Water based varnishes

Water-based coatings have become practically indispensable in the wood industry. The water-thinnable system coatings do not contain any volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOCs are largely responsible for the formation of ground-level ozone (summer smog) and have been taxed with an incentive tax since January 1, 2000.

Opaque shades according to RAL or NCS

In the case of opaque painting of wooden structures (premium thick-layer stain), the color shades can be freely selected according to RAL or NCS color charts. In this color treatment, the wooden structure is provided with intermediate sanding and filling.





 

Wood varnishes

For color treatment with glaze (base glaze), we offer you a wide selection from our glaze fan. With this color treatment method, the wood structure remains visible.







 

Greyback varnishes

Water-based, open-pore pre-graying glaze with film preservation. Pre-grayizing glazes are used to make the discoloration of div. softwoods exposed to weathering appear uniform.



 

Roofing / photovoltaic system

The FLASH carport model can be covered with an in-roof or on-roof photovoltaic system.

In-roof photovoltaic system

In the case of the in-roof PV system, the modules also serve as the roof cladding. The modules are visible from below. Translucent bifacial glass modules are used.

 Translucent means that light shimmers through the roof between the individual
 photovoltaic light shimmers through the roof.

The incidence of light can be influenced by the number of cells per module.

Roof edge trims made of galvanized and coated sheet steel, are available in 12 standard colors.

Advantages and disadvantages of the in-roof system compared to the on-roof system

On-roof PV system

In the case of the on-roof system, the water-bearing roof cladding is a profiled sheet. The modules are screwed onto the profiled sheets with a substructure.

Substructure PV modules

When designing the substructure and fastening points, the local
the local conditions regarding wind and snow load are taken into account. 
 

In most cases, the use the mounting system Speedrail from K2.
                                        

Modules

For rooftop installation, conventional framed glass/laminate modules from various suppliers can be used.

We prefer Full Black modules which are fixed with black clamps.

Electrics and inverter

All string cables are laid invisibly. In the case of the on-roof system, the cables are located between the profiled sheet and the modules, and in the case of the in-roof system in specially milled cable ducts.

The inverters are matched to the power of the plant and the intended use of the energy generated.

    The performance of the plant, use of power optimizer
    or battery storage determine which inverter would be choosen.  


    


    In order to optimize the performance of a system
    power optimizers, so-called MPP trackers, can be used.

Inverter

    By means of monitoring, the performance of the plant can be monitored at any time.
    The performance of each individual module is visible.
    Faulty or damaged modules are detected immediately.

 

Charging stations for e-cars

Charging stations from any manufacturer can be mounted in or on the solar carport.  
The energy produced on the roof is fed directly into the car's battery via inverter and charging station. 

Most solar carport systems are coupled with the power grid. If the solar roof does not supply enough energy to charge all the cars 
electricity is drawn from the grid. If the solar roof produces more power than needed, the surplus is fed into the grid. 
Intelligent charging stations can also be programmed so that only electricity from the solar system flows into the cars. 
This way you charge your car 100% with solar power.

    

    Various payment and billing systems are
    offered.

    Charging stations with payment and
    payment and billing system can also be
    be rented. This means that you do not have
    to worry about maintenance and billing.
    At the end of the month, the revenue from
    the sale of electricity is credited to your account. 

Pay with credit or debit card

"Intelligent controls (smart charging) ensure that car batteries are preferably charged when in-house solar power is available."

 

Foundations

Carport model FLASH can be installed without concrete foundations by means of screw foundation. 
With this foundation technique, the large moment loads from the wide cantilevered roof can be 
transferred into the ground without major excavation work.

Assembly / Kit

Assembly in Switzerland
In Switzerland, the solar carports are assembled by an assembly team from swisscarport. 

We assemble:

• Screw foundations
• Support structure
• Photovoltaic system/inverter 
• Rain gutter drain pipes

 

On-site services include civil engineering work and the AC section (AC side). 
The AC section also includes the charging stations.  

The assembly costs vary depending on the location of the construction site. 
Travel surcharges and hotel expenses as well as delivery of material will be 
separate position in the offer.


The starting point is our production workshop in 4536 Attiswil (CH).


 

Assembly near abroad
Due to the many inquiries from abroad we have decided 
to sell our product also across the border.
However, it is not possible for us to perform assembly work abroad.

What we can offer abroad is:
Sale and delivery of carport kit, with or without PV system.

During the development of the FLASH model, one of the most important 
efficient assembly was one of the most important criteria.

A professional installation team can efficiently assemble the supporting structure of the 
carport, even without prior knowledge and with the necessary equipment.
Detailed assembly instructions and an assembly video will be
supplied in the kit, if desired.

Assembly process abroad

Foundations:                                     Screw foundations can be screwed in by a partner company of Krinner GmbH.
                                                            Swisscarport supplies the corresponding foundation plans. 

Support structure:                            The support structure is delivered to the construction site by Swisscarport ready for assembly. 

                                                            A local assembly team assembles the supporting structure based on the assembly plans and the
                                                            assembly instructions from Swisscarport.
                                                            The assembly team needs experience and the necessary equipment. Best suited are
                                                            Assemblers from the timber construction industry.


PV system:                                        The PV system is installed by a local solar installer. 
                                                            The modules, substructure, inverter and electrical material can be obtained as a prefabricated 
                                                            kit from Swisscarport or offered by the local solar installer.
