Sports clubs often face high energy costs due to lighting, changing rooms, canteens and field heating. At the same time, the space on a sports complex - such as large roofs and car parks - is ideal for sustainable generation. Shift to Solar helps clubs save, become more sustainable and build a stronger energy profile.
Solar carports for sports clubs
Use car parks to generate renewable power without losing space on the sports complex. Solar carports provide direct energy savings as well as contributing to the image of your association.
What this delivers:
- Generation of renewable electricity without additional building space
- Shelter from sun and rain for athletes and visitors
- Lower energy costs and improved financial position
- Stronger proposition towards sponsors and grant providers
Especially on busy match days or tournaments, carports make sustainability visible.
Battery storage for associations
A battery solution makes solar energy usable at times when you really need it - at night or during events.
What this delivers:
- Energy storage for evening use (lighting, changing rooms, canteen)
- Limiting peak consumption during peak times
- Reduced dependence on grid capacity and costs
- Security of power at tournaments and club days
With battery storage increase your own consumption and future-proof your energy supply.
Charging stations for electric vehicles
More and more members, visitors and volunteers are driving electric. With charging stations on the sports ground, you respond cleverly to this.
What this delivers:
- Charging facilities for electric cars during training sessions and races
- Attracting new members and partners
- Additional revenue through smart charging services
- Visible sustainability for municipality, sponsors and visitors
Charging infrastructure strengthens your club's social position and provides additional facilities for your supporters.
Why combine?
By solar panels, cleverly combining battery storage and charging stations creates a system that delivers more than the sum of its parts.
What this delivers:
- Lower energy costs through own generation and consumption
- More control over your energy supply and costs
- A strong sustainable image towards the municipality, members and sponsors
- Opportunities for additional services and revenues
This integrated approach makes your club more energy-efficient, future-proof and attractive to new collaborations.
