Solar bicycle parking in Ghent

Battery Trailer has realised an innovative and sustainable solution on the outskirts of Ghent: a steel bicycle shed with integrated bicycle rack and solar panels. This installation not only provides safe storage for bicycles, but at the same time generates and stores sustainable energy for optimal use.

Smart energy solution for cycling infrastructure

On the roof of the solar bicycle parking are 20 powerful 450 Wp solar panels, which are expected to generate 8,100 kWh of clean energy annually. The generated energy is utilised directly thanks to a hybrid GoodWe 6 kW inverter and a 6.6 kW GoodWe Lynx Home battery, enabling sustainable storage and smart energy management. This makes it not only an environmentally friendly, but also an efficient solution for energy generation and use.

Thanks to this innovative installation, annual savings of 3.2 to 3.7 tonnes of CO₂ realised. That equals:

• Driving 25,000 km with an average petrol car
• 185 trees absorbing CO₂ for a year

Maximum use of space and sustainable impact

The steel construction provides robust and weatherproof protection for bikes, while the integrated solar system contributes to the CO₂ reduction targets of its surroundings. This makes the solar cycle shed an ideal solution for locations where sustainability and space efficiency go hand in hand.

Benefits of this project:

✔ Sustainable energy solution for cyclists and businesses
✔ Optimal use of space with energy storage
✔ Long service life and high-quality materials
✔ Contribution to CO₂ reduction and sustainable mobility
