Many PV parking canopy offers appear surprisingly affordable at first glance.
But as the project unfolds, what seemed like a bargain often becomes a costly surprise.
The problem: hidden costs, chaotic processes, unpleasant surprises
Why?
Because many providers only deliver the bare minimum – the PV system itself. Everything else is outsourced:
- Groundwork? Not included.
- Foundations? Extra cost.
- Cabling? Requires a separate order.
- Charging points or storage units? If available at all, they’re treated as separate projects.
The result:
Delays, incompatibilities, endless coordination – and ultimately a project that ends up far more expensive than planned.
Why many providers deliver incomplete solutions
Many suppliers rely on subcontractors – each trade is handled separately: civil engineering here, electrical work there, charging infrastructure somewhere in between. It saves them effort, but creates serious problems for the client:
- No overall plan: everyone focuses on their own part, no one oversees the whole system.
- Delays: if one contractor falls behind, the entire project stops.
- Technical gaps: components don’t fit together, systems don’t communicate.
- Unclear costs: each contractor issues separate invoices.
The outcome: a project that ends up as fragmented as it looks – and just as frustrating to manage.
A real-life example
One customer opted for a cheaper offer from another provider. Once the contract was signed, they discovered that groundwork and planning services weren’t included. The add-ons led to extra costs, stress, and weeks of delay – in the end, the project turned out more expensive than our original full-service proposal.
The solution: the SOLAR SKY PARK by INNOVAMETALL
The SOLAR SKY PARK is the result of a strong collaboration between three specialized partners.
The photovoltaic canopy, energy storage, and charging infrastructure were jointly planned, technically aligned, and developed as a complete system.
The benefits:
- Everything from a single source – no interface problems
- Fully compatible technology – no adjustments needed
- Fixed project timelines – without subcontractor chaos
- Full cost control – transparency from day one
Minimal groundwork – maximum efficiency
Groundwork is often one of the biggest cost drivers in PV projects –
foundations, cable trenches, and grid connections can quickly eat up time, money, and patience.
The SOLAR SKY PARK changes that.
Its modular design means every parking space is ready for expansion into a charging hub – without heavy excavation or complex site work.
- Short cable routes
- Predefined interfaces
- Low construction effort
- Easy scalability
A charging park without a major construction site – that’s smart planning.
Energy independence starts here
Investing in your own energy supply today means more than saving money – it means protecting yourself from tomorrow’s price shocks and external dependencies.
The advantages of independence:
- Stable electricity prices – no surprises from tariff changes
- Security of supply – your own power production, even during grid issues
- Climate benefit – clean energy instead of uncertain sources
The disadvantages of dependence:
- Rising energy costs – prices set by others
- No control over energy origin
- Missed opportunities for self-sufficiency
With SOLAR SKY PARK, you take control – technically, financially, and strategically.
