Power and Watering Supply Car Park

Our selection of eco parking designs continues with the solar parking canopy.

Renowned in the US, Solaire Generation has designed many solar parking canopies.

And their latest offering in the eco solar parking market is based around a modular system that means open car parks can become creators of solar energy – ideal for business’s employee parking areas.















High energy output is created from patented photovoltaic PV solar panels, charging electrical vehicles and feeding excess power into the car park owner’s power supply. Plus, the design includes a grey water system, which can be used to water nearby grounds and green areas.

‘Greener’ Parking












Fed up with parking in a concrete jungle and looking for much more environmentally-friendly, eco parking? Well how about a car park that not only is greener for the environment but greener to look at too?

Well that’s what’s being created by Green Corridor in their pioneering car parking concept that incorporates green design practices and high tech environmental technologies.

This state of the art car park will look the part as the parking spaces are intertwined with green planting, whilst rainwater is drained away via permeable concrete paving through a network of stormwater remediation technologies.

The creators of this car parking, Green Corridor, have set their sights on a site in Windsor, Canada, referred to as the Green Corridor Indian Road Green Space project, in conjunction with Windsor University.

Tips for travellers travelling with large sports equipment

If you’re driving to the airport and you’re travelling with large sports equipment, such as skis, bikes, surfboards, canoes or other large objects. Be aware that, if you’ve booked off-airport parking, your items are unlikely to fit into the luggage racks of the shuttle buses that operate between the airport car parks and the airport terminals.

There are two solutions:

  1. You could drop off one or more of your travelling companions at the airport with your luggage and then park your car.
  2. Or, you could book meet and greet parking and drive straight to the airport with your luggage.

Don’t forget to check with your airline that you will be able to take our sports equipment on the plane.
