About the Project
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
