More from the
parking footprint.

The Botany installation combines a UMAX STRIX Series light steel structure with GoodWe Polaris solar panels, bringing solar generation and weather protection to the same parking area.

The carport layout was coordinated with the development’s final parking plan. The solar roof uses the space above the bays, leaving the building’s rooftop available for other uses.
