Transforming Bicycle Parking with Solar-Powered Canopies

At Cambridge North Railway Station, we delivered a cutting-edge solar PV bike shelter solution that demonstrates how modern transport hubs can integrate renewable energy, smart infrastructure and user convenience in one elegant design. Solar-powered cycle shelters are a smart solution for urban environments seeking to reduce carbon emissions and support active travel.

These shelters offer:

• Dual-functionality: Protection for bikes and on-site energy production
• Grid independence: Potential for off-grid lighting, CCTV, and EV charging
• Sustainability credentials: Ideal for BREEAM and LEED-rated developments
• Architectural integration: Transparent solar panels enhance aesthetics and daylighting

Specifics:

• 49 kWp system
• 325 m² transparent BIPV
• PS-PC-ST series
