Refrigeration, lighting, cash registers and ventilation systems run day and night in supermarkets. This results in high and constant energy consumption. At the same time, the need for sustainability is growing - from a cost perspective as well as due to regulations and social expectations. Shift to Solar helps supermarkets with smart solar solutions that reduce energy consumption and contribute to a future-proof retail environment.
Solar carports on car parks
Supermarkets often have spacious car parks - ideal for generating solar power with a solar carport. At the same time, you offer customers a comfortable, covered parking space.
What this delivers:
- Generation of renewable electricity without intervention in the building
- Shelter for customers in case of sun, rain or snow
- Reducing energy costs and improving operations
- Visible sustainability towards customers and supply chain partners
A solar carport combines practical convenience with a clear sustainable message - exactly what your supermarket needs.
Battery storage for energy management
Store generated solar power and use it when you really need it - during peak or off-peak hours, for example.
What this delivers:
- Energy storage for after-hours or peak consumption use
- Lower grid costs by smartly accommodating peak load
- Backup supply in case of power failure
- Making better use of your own solar energy
With battery storage ensure stability, efficiency and more control over your energy costs.
Charging points for electric vehicles
More and more customers and employees drive electric. With your own charging infrastructure, you offer extra service and respond smartly to the mobility transition.
What this delivers:
- Charging options while shopping
- Extra appeal for environmentally conscious customers
- Revenue through charging services or loyalty programmes
- Strengthening your sustainable image towards consumers and the supply chain
Charging stations make your location future-ready and add value to the customer visit.
Why combine?
By solar panels, cleverly integrating batteries and charging stations creates an energy solution that delivers more than the sum of its parts.
What this delivers:
- Reducing your energy costs
- More control over your energy supply
- Visible sustainability on site
- Additional facilities for customers and staff
An integrated system makes your supermarket more efficient, sustainable and attractive to visitors.
