EDEKA Solar Carport
in Nauen

The solar carport at the EDEKA Zukunftsmarkt in Nauen is a prime example of the intelligent integration of infrastructure and renewable energy generation. As an integral part of the overall concept, it extends the shop’s commitment to sustainability beyond the building itself and makes efficient use of previously untapped potential in the car park areas. The design combines functional weather protection for customers with a high-performance photovoltaic system that generates clean electricity directly on site. The solar panels, arranged over a large area on the carport roof, make a significant contribution to the store’s energy supply whilst reducing its reliance on external energy sources. The electricity generated can be used to power the supermarket, for refrigeration systems or, in the future, for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This makes the car park an active part of the sustainable energy and building strategy. As well as its technical function, the solar carport also stands out for the way it blends into the overall design of this forward-looking supermarket. The clean, modern design blends harmoniously into the architecture and emphasises the innovative character of the site. The result is a holistic solution that combines climate protection, comfort and efficiency, positioning the EDEKA Zukunftsmarkt in Nauen as a pioneer in sustainable retail concepts.
