Solar carport for Sauber Motorsport in Hinwil
Project overview
Sauber Motorsport issued an invitation to tender for a photovoltaic car park covering using thin-film modules from the company Oerlikon Solar for its site in Hinwil.
Basler & Hofmann won the general contractor competition with an innovative concept. The system, which consists of over 1,000 thin-film modules, is one of the largest solar carports in Switzerland. 46 micro piles with a depth of six metres anchor the system, which spans 123 parking spaces and is capable of supplying electricity to 31 households. We used a glint and glare assessment to demonstrate that the installation is safe for traffic on the nearby cantonal roads.
