Intracom Telecom Smart Carport Solution

The Smart Carport solution by Intracom Telecom offers both electric vehicle charging and shaded parking for up to six (6) electric vehicles, powered by a 30kWp photovoltaic (PV) system.

The PV system can generate approximately 50 MWh of electricity annually (based on solar yield in Greece), and includes the option for grid connection.

SMART CARPORT SOLUTION – BASIC PACKAGE OVERVIEW

This turnkey solution includes:

  1. Design, structural study, and supply of the metal mounting base

  2. Foundation works, construction, transportation, and installation for PV frame support on the roof (~130 sq.m), including an aluminum mounting system for the PV modules

  3. Electrical panel with fuses, surge protection devices

  4. Required AC/DC cabling

  5. Cabinet for housing electromechanical equipment

  6. Inverter for connection to the power grid

  7. Data hub for integration of IP equipment

  8. Construction of curbs and paved surfaces

  9. Electrical works for supplying and connecting the Carport to the main power point

  10. Permitting for small-scale construction and net billing/net metering

  11. Marking of parking spaces, islands, and concrete base for the cabinet, including wheel stops for EVs

  12. Project supervision, implementation, commissioning, and presentation of the final solution

 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The indicative budget for the above package is -------- €.

The following annual services are available at an additional cost of ------- €:

  1. Preventive maintenance (cleaning and technical inspection of PV system)

  2. Technical support for electromechanical equipment

  3. Annual insurance covering all-risk, third-party liability, and vehicle damage

PAYBACK PERIOD

The payback period for the system depends on usage scenarios.
It is estimated at 5.5 years, assuming the owner sells the generated electricity to EV users.

This estimate is conservative, based on an energy sale price of €0.35/kWh and a 5% WACC.

A higher selling price or lower WACC would further reduce the payback time, increasing margins even for charger management and the CPO (Charge Point Operator).

➕ OPTIONAL FEATURES

The solution can be expanded with the following optional features:

  • EV chargers

  • Battery energy storage system for the generated electricity

  • Smart sensors for lighting and occupancy detection of parking spots

  • Cloud-based central application for monitoring and managing all subsystems (inverter, PV modules, batteries, chargers, sensors)

  • Mobile app for EV users
