More freedom at home.
Installed by Golden Solar BIPV and approved by Taupo District Council, this GoodWe × UMAX Energy VELA project combines an 8 kW BIPV solar roof with a double carpark structure. The durable, weather-resistant aluminium frame shelters the family’s RV and second vehicle, freeing up the garage for other uses.
