Car parks are increasingly being equipped with a solar roof to use the already sealed surface simultaneously for electricity generation. This means no additional green spaces need to be built over and the parked cars heat up less due to the shading. Often charging stations for electric cars are installed at the same time, or the produced electricity is routed to surrounding buildings.

Galvanized steel is often the base material for the entire steel construction. Hot-dip galvanized LORO-X steel drainage pipes therefore fit perfectly into a harmonious overall appearance.

Drainage

Precipitation must be able to drain reliably from the newly created roof surface without affecting the cars and people parked below. If the substructure and modules are water-permeable, rainwater often falls uncontrollably between the parking spaces.

That is why many builders opt for a waterproof photovoltaic solution where a drainage system channels the water specifically into an underground drain pipe or specifically onto the surface. Since the individual areas are often divided into many small partial areas compared to building roofs, small downpipes in DN50 or DN70 are also suitable.

Above-ground cable protection pipe

LORO-X steel drainage pipes in nominal diameters from DN32 to DN300 have proven themselves as flexible protection pipes for all types of cables thanks to an extensive range of fittings. This allows the power cables from the individual modules to be routed protected under the solar roof and led to the freely accessible wallboxes. Above-ground routing to surrounding buildings or electrical cabinets is also easily possible. The cables are safely protected from weather, vandalism and accidents with cars.

Sustainable from hot-dip galvanized steel

Sustainable drainage from hot-dip galvanized steel matches sustainable energy production from solar energy.

  • High impact resistance and dimensional stability, so no additional collision protection is necessary.
  • Insensitive to frost in winter and high temperature resistance in summer
  • Tight through LORO-X push-fit connection: no screwing, gluing, soldering or welding
  • Fast and easy installation
