PIVOLTA: MODULAR TIMBER FRAMES FOR SOLAR CARPORTS

Our Pivolta modular timber frames for solar carports are designed to meet growing demand for renewables and help businesses comply with new regulations aimed at boosting solar thermal and photovoltaic energy production.

Our timber carport frames are compatible with rooftop PV panels (not included). The mechanical strength of these French Douglas fir glulam makes them an effective alternative to steel.

Under Article 40 of Law No 2023-175 of 10 March 2023, outdoor car parks in France that are bigger than 1 500 m² have to install solar canopies over at least half of their surface area. Our Pivolta carports comply with this regulation and also have a lower carbon impact than steel carports.
