Abstract
Photovoltaic covered parking systems have been identified as a high-value application of PV. For certain applications the shade/weather protection can be more valuable than the electricity. Modular PV covered parking systems have been designed using United Solar thin-film silicon roofing products and both Omnion and Trace inverters. This paper discusses the merits of using PV for this application, and preliminary results from the first field installation.
