Photovoltaic bus carport in Purmerend: a 6-metre-high installation

In the Netherlands, our teams contributed to a rare and ambitious project: a photovoltaic carport designed for buses, integrating charging areas and a structure rising 6 metres high. With a total capacity of 1.33 MWp, this project—delivered in collaboration with Omexom NL—highlights our expertise in mobility-focused infrastructure where scale, precision, and performance must work hand in hand.

Project details

• Location: Purmerend, Netherlands
• Total installed power: 1.33 MWp
• Structure type: Bus carport
• Structure height: 6 metres
• Partner: Omexom NL
• Date: 2 December 2024

Site specifics

Designing a high-clearance carport for buses—with integrated charging zones—comes with strict structural requirements: reinforced resistance, long-span engineering, efficient vehicle flow management, and enhanced safety. The 6-metre height ensures smooth circulation for the fleet while providing a fully usable solar surface.

Our response

Our teams supported this unique installation by providing engineering expertise and hands-on assembly of the carport structure. Working closely with Omexom NL, we helped deliver a robust and functional solution tailored to the specific needs of transport infrastructure.
