With our experience in solar solutions, we design and realise complete loading bays for any type of organisation. From business parks to healthcare facilities, we provide customisation, short lines of communication and a smooth process from permit to installation.
Want to know how your car park can become a sustainable charging plaza? Our advisers are ready to think with you.
A charging plaza is a central place where several electric vehicles can charge at the same time with renewable energy. It combines charging stations, solar carports and battery storage into a single smart energy solution fully aligned with the future of mobility and energy management.
A charging plaza uses locally generated solar via solar panels on carports or roofs. This way, you charge cars, bikes or scooters with 100% green electricity that comes directly from your own property.
With stationary batteries generated energy is stored. This makes it possible to avoid peak loads, reduce energy costs and charge vehicles at the most convenient time of day.
A charging plaza is more than a collection of charging stations. By smart energy management the supply of solar power is matched to consumption. This ensures maximum efficiency and savings.
Whether you start with a few charging points or want to make an entire site sustainable, a charging plaza grows with your organisation. Thanks to the modular design easily expand with more charging stations or battery capacity.
Wondering what a charging station could look like on your premises? Our specialists design and realise complete charging solutions tailored to your organisation.

A charging plaza consists of several charging points that share one grid connection. It is therefore not a collection of separate charging points, but a smart, central solution that allows several electric vehicles to charge simultaneously via one connection. This makes it efficient, convenient and future-proof.
A charging plaza offers several advantages:
Charging plazas are suitable for any site with multiple parking spaces, such as business parks, healthcare facilities, schools, government buildings and shopping centres. They are ideal when many electric vehicles need to be able to charge at the same time, such as employees, visitors or fleets.
Yes, it is precisely this combination that makes a charging station extra sustainable and efficient. By installing solar panels on carports and using a battery for storage, you charge vehicles with your own solar energy and avoid peak loads on the grid. That reduces costs and strengthens your green image.
It depends on the location and size of the project. In some cases, a permit is required, for example for visible structures or for placement in public spaces. Shift to Solar helps you with the full licensing process, ensuring everything is done correctly and quickly.
Yes, various schemes are available for business charging plazas. Consider the Energy investment allowance (EIA), Small-scale investment deduction (KIA) and sometimes regional subsidies for charging infrastructure. We will be happy to advise you on current opportunities and guide you through the application process.
The cost of a charging plaza depends on the number of charging points, the connection, any solar panels or batteries and the installation. On average, a charging plaza starts at several tens of thousands of euros, but the exact price is always customised. Therefore ask for a free quote to for an accurate calculation.
