Engineered solar canopies over open car parks or outdoor bays that shelter vehicles, generate power for common property and can integrate EV charging for residents.
From $49,900 (Per project, installed), including GST. Indicative starting price: the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment.
Many apartment buildings do not have enough roof space for meaningful solar, but they do have open car parks, rooftop parking decks or outdoor bays. A solar canopy turns that space into generating capacity: an engineered structure with panels as the roof, sheltering vehicles while supplying power to common property. It is also a natural place for EV chargers.
Apartment solar car park canopies are priced from $49,900 per project, installed, as an indicative starting price. The final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment, engineering review and design.
We manage the whole project, from engineering and approvals to installation and grid connection, so the committee deals with one accountable team. Our solar installers are SAA-accredited and all electrical work is done by our licensed electricians. Blue Energy Solar is a New Energy Tech Approved Seller, which NSW strata funding requires. We plan construction around residents' parking and keep the committee informed at each stage.
Apartment buildings with open or rooftop car parks or outdoor bays and limited roof space for solar.
Canopies cost more per kW than rooftop solar because of the steel structure and footings, so they suit buildings where roof space is the limiting factor or where shelter and EV charging add value. Council approval may be needed, and engineering must account for wind loads, vehicle clearance and underground services.
New solar may attract STCs where eligible, and pairing the canopy with a shared battery may help the building access NSW apartment building battery incentives, which are larger when qualifying new solar is installed in the required period. Confirm current values on the official pages before signing. Blue Energy Solar holds $20 million public liability cover.
1. The committee requests a site assessment of the car park or outdoor bays.
2. We assess the site and provide a concept design with an indicative price.
3. Once the owners corporation approves, we complete engineering and lodge council and network applications.
4. We confirm the fixed price in writing and schedule construction around residents' parking.
5. Our team installs the structure, panels and electrical connection, with EV chargers if included.
6. We commission the system, set up monitoring and hand over the documentation.
The price shown is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after site assessment, engineering and design.
The project requires owners corporation approval and may require council approval and a by-law.
Grid connection is subject to network approval, which may limit system size or export.
Ground conditions, underground services and site access can change the design and price.
Temporary parking arrangements during construction are coordinated with the building manager.
