The public sector plays a key role in the energy transition. Municipalities, schools and care institutions are faced with the task of becoming more sustainable, controlling energy costs and setting a good example. Shift to Solar's solar solutions enable you to reduce your ecological footprint, increase the reliability of your energy supply and make sustainability visible to residents, employees and partners.
Solar carports for public institutions
From car parks at town halls to schoolyards and care centres - with solar carports generate energy locally without structural interventions in existing buildings.
What this delivers:
- Sustainable generation on car parks at schools, sports halls or community centres
- Comfort and safety for visitors, pupils and staff
- Visible contribution to climate goals
- Strong signal to community: sustainability is priority
A solar carport is a functional and symbolic step towards a sustainable living environment.
Battery storage for public facilities
A battery makes solar energy available when you need it - such as during peak times or power outages.
What this delivers:
- Energy storage for school exits, sports nights or council meetings
- Peak maintenance for cost reduction and grid relief
- Back-up facility in case of breakdowns or emergencies
- Flexibility for future energy applications
With battery storage, you make public facilities future-proof and reliable.
Charging points for electric vehicles
Sustainable mobility is growing - and public institutions are playing a pioneering role in it. With charging infrastructure, you offer direct added value for employees, visitors and residents.
What this delivers:
- Charging facilities for service vehicles, staff and citizens
- Supporting sustainable policies and mobility goals
- Additional appeal of public buildings and meeting places
- Visible fulfilment of corporate social responsibility policy
Charging points make your location more user-friendly and ready for the future of electric transport.
Why combine?
By solar panels, battery storage and charging stations cleverly integrating them creates an energy system that is functional, efficient and socially responsible.
What this delivers:
- More control over energy consumption and costs
- Energy supply in line with policy goals
- Positive visibility towards citizens, partners and governance
- Stronger proposition with grant providers and collaborations
A combined approach strengthens both your sustainable impact and your organisational position.
