At Enoggera in Queensland, VECTOR Shade Structures was engaged to deliver more than just shade, combining structural cover with clean energy generation. The result is a custom engineered steel structure fitted with solar roofing, spanning the car park and roadway to shelter vehicles while generating power from the same footprint.
Built from hot dip galvanised steelwork for long-term corrosion resistance, the structure is engineered to carry a full solar array across its roofline rather than a conventional shade fabric. As a purpose-built solar solution, it turns an everyday car park into a source of renewable energy, all while protecting vehicles from sun and weather below.
The finished project demonstrates how VECTOR combines engineering and sustainability, delivering commercial shade structures that do double duty as clean energy infrastructure for Queensland businesses.
