Friedrich GmbH was named as finalist of the The smarter E AWARD 2025 in the Category "E-Mobility" for the application of its URBANROOF.
In some regions of Germany and France, it is mandatory for certain parking lots to have PV systems on their canopies. In other regions, such as Lower Austria, such PV systems are subsidized at the very least. But these installations are becoming increasingly popular, even without these incentives. The URBANROOF from Friedrich GmbH boasts a resource-conserving, wooden design. Furthermore, the PV yield is maximized by also covering the access roads. The number of columns has been kept to a minimum to keep the number of obstacles blocking parking spaces and access roads as low as possible. Another advantage is the clear height – at over 4.20 meters, even high-roofed vans can pass underneath the canopy. The company claims capacities of 5 kWp per parking space. The URBANROOF is available for parking areas with 10, 20 and 40 spaces, with a capacity of 52 to 200 kWp.
