Charging into the future
It’s a carport shelter that also powers up your eCar

By MDT-Tex
The smart solar shelter is one solution that MDT-Tex developed to confront the increasing environmental issues that our world is facing. As a result of climate change, we have to meet the demands of increasing temperatures in cities and an electrified e-mobility with our products.
The multi-award winning tulip shape was further developed to a sustainable structure, which combines a long experience in innovative architecture and urban design with our environmental mission.
The smart solar shelter is available in two different formats, either with a symmetric or asymmetric mast. Both formats have a span of 5.3m, providing a sheltered parking spot for up to two cars. Each tensile structure is equipped with 15 poly-Si solar panels that have a total installed photovoltaic power of approximately 4 kWp.

With integrated fast chargers, the solar carport can charge a new BMWi3 to 80% in around 3 hours.
With its organic design, the SmartSolarShelter is well suited to a variety of settings.
A wide range of accessories are available, from EV Charging systems to Media concepts for the public sector.
The mast is equipped with drainage pipes, which guide the rainwater through a filtration system and store it in a covered water tank, providing valuable water harvesting as well.
