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 | |
