Solar panels in parking lots are a great option for generating electrical energy, saving on the electricity bill, providing shade for parked cars, and making your company sustainable.

At the San Luis Potosí Airport, operated by OMA, we installed 1,112 solar panels, each with a capacity of 540W, for a total of 600 kWp installed as a roof for the airport’s parking lot. The structure is made of scissor-type aluminum, providing shade for parked cars while harnessing solar energy to generate electricity.

With a 25-year warranty on the solar panels, long-term energy savings are ensured, and the company’s environmental commitment is strengthened.

The 1,112 solar panels comply with all the requirements set by CFE for grid interconnection, with a net metering contract where no batteries are used; instead, the CFE grid is used to take and contribute electrical energy.

Furthermore, these systems are fully tax-deductible in the first year of purchase, allowing for an even faster return on investment.

Parking lot solar panel projects, or carports, are becoming increasingly common worldwide, as they allow for the use of available spaces to generate electrical energy through renewable and clean sources.
