Solar bicycle parking at the Embassy of Canada in The Hague
A 7.5-metre-wide Solar bicycle shelter has been installed at the Embassy of Canada in The Hague. This canopy combines shelter for bikes with sustainable energy generation via high-quality glass-glass solar panels. The installation came complete with inverter, foundation and integrated charging boxes, allowing users to easily charge their e-bikes with solar energy. The structure is made of 120 × 60 mm steel tubing (4 mm thick), powder-coated in a RAL colour of your choice, and stands on anthracite-coloured concrete pillars with height adjusters. The charging stations offer a total of eight charging points, suitable for Shimano, Bosch and Schuko connections, and feature a ventilated enclosure to prevent condensation. Benefits of this project Fully integrated: supplied with foundation, inverter, cabling and remote monitoring. Multifunctional design: shelter and sustainable energy generation in one. E-bike charging convenience: eight charging points for different systems, powered directly by solar panels. Robust construction: powder-coated steel tubes for long service life.

Bicycle shed with solar panels and charging facilities in Heerhugowaard
Shift to Solar realised a sustainable solar bicycle parking facility in Heerhugowaard in July 2025. Equipped with 16 450 Wp solar panels, this 14-metre-wide steel structure not only provides safe and covered parking, but also generates sustainable energy. In addition, four charging boxes have been installed, allowing a total of sixteen electric bicycles to be charged simultaneously. This makes optimal use of the solar power generated. Sustainable mobility and energy generation The 16 solar panels are expected to produce 6,300 kWh of clean energy annually. This results in CO₂ savings of about 1.39 tonnes per year, equivalent to driving a petrol car 9,250 kilometres or planting about 69 trees annually. This combination of energy generation and charging facilities contributes to a future-proof cycling and charging infrastructure for residents and visitors. Need help with your solar solution?

Two solar bicycle sheds for Nijhuis Bouw in Rijssen
On the premises of Nijhuis Bouw B.V. in Rijssen, two sustainable Solar bicycle sheds have been installed. The robust structures are made entirely of steel tubes measuring 140 × 70 mm with a wall thickness of 5 mm and are supplied as a complete unit. Thanks to welded sketch plates at the bottom, the stands are easy to place on concrete piles and adjust precisely. Each shed is equipped with high-quality Tier 1 solar panels for maximum lifetime, low degradation and optimum yield. The installation is fully assembled and connected, including integration into the SolarEdge monitoring portal, so that performance can be easily tracked down to panel level.

Solar bicycle parking in Ghent
Shift to Solar has realised an innovative and sustainable solution on the outskirts of Ghent: a steel bicycle shed with integrated bicycle rack and solar panels. This installation not only provides safe storage for bicycles, but also generates and stores sustainable energy for optimal use. Smart energy solution for bicycle infrastructure On the roof of the solar bicycle shed are 20 powerful 450 Wp solar panels, which are expected to generate 8,100 kWh of clean energy annually. The generated energy is used directly thanks to a GoodWe 6 kW hybrid inverter and a 6.6 kW GoodWe Lynx Home battery, enabling sustainable storage and smart energy management. This makes it not only an environmentally friendly, but also an efficient solution for energy generation and use. Thanks to this innovative installation, annual savings of 3.2 to 3.7 tonnes of CO₂ are achieved. This equates to: Maximum space utilisation and sustainable impact The steel construction provides robust and weatherproof protection for bikes, while the integrated solar system contributes to the environment's CO₂ reduction targets. This makes the solar bicycle shelter an ideal solution for locations where sustainability and space efficiency go hand in hand. Benefits of this project: ✔ Sustainable energy solution for cyclists and businesses✔ Optimal use of space with| 20 450 Wp solar panels | |

Two Solar bicycle sheds at Windesheim Zwolle
Shift to Solar realised two sustainable Solar bicycle sheds for Christelijke Hogeschool Windesheim in Zwolle. These robust steel structures have integrated solar panels, allowing cyclists to charge their e-bikes directly with solar energy. The design is stylishly powder-coated in a RAL colour of your choice and offers multiple charging stations per stand. The charging stations feature connections for various e-bike systems, including Shimano and Bosch, and are equipped with Schuko 230V sockets. The grid connection allows bikes to be charged even during less sunny hours and allows excess energy to be returned to the grid. Benefits of this project Need help with your solar solution?
