The WATTLOTS Power Arbor’s™ unique design solves a number of issues which currently plague conventional parking lot solar structures – from aesthetics to efficiency. As a uniquely styled, parking lot canopy system that is specifically designed to retrofit existing surface parking lots, the Power Arbor will provide substantial quantities of clean, renewable electrical energy near the source of demand where it is needed.
Unlike other parking lot solar structures, Power Arbors™ incorporate built-in communications capabilities, which enable them to relay real-time data to WATTLOTS engineers, so as to improve system monitoring and management. In addition, The Power Arbors™ rotate and follow the sun- another unique feature that greatly increases energy gathering efficiency- its open-air design does not collect snow like a flat panel system, making it perfect for Northeast Corridor lots.
CST Covers worked in Conjunction with WATTLOTS to develop the all-aluminum structural system to support the solar tubes. The use of aluminum provided a non-corrosive solution eliminating future maintenance cost and a lightweight system for ease of assembly.
