Let’s face it – most carports are about as exciting as watching paint dry. But what if your parking spot could slash energy bills and protect your Tesla from hail storms? Enter Goomax Energy’s All-Aluminum Carport Mounting System A1, the Swiss Army knife of solar solutions that’s turning empty rooftops into revenue generators. We’ve installed enough of these bad boys to know: 2024 is the year parking lots stop being real estate black holes.
Remember when steel was the cool kid in structural engineering? The A1 system laughs in the face of rust with its:
Our field crew calls it “LEGO for adults” – the snap-fit components let installers:
When Phoenix Mart upgraded their 200-space lot with our system:
“But aluminum’s weaker!” cried the steel loyalists. Then came Hurricane Ida’s 110mph winds – our test site in Louisiana lost 3 roof shingles but zero solar panels. The secret sauce?
We’re not just building carports – we’re creating energy ecosystems. The A1’s secret weapon? Its photon gutters:
San Diego’s latest smart microgrid runs on 85 Goomax A1 systems. Their secret sauce?
Who said industrial can’t be sexy? Our architectural partners created:
Fun fact: A Miami condo complex reported 18% higher rental rates after installing our “solar gazebos”. Turns out, millennials will pay extra for Instagrammable parking.
Remember the Denver project where contractors tried using wait for it duct tape? Our foolproof QR code system now ensures:
Our secret weapon? A AI permitting bot that’s processed 1,200+ applications across 47 states. It knows:
Total renewable energy use was just 1.1% of overall energy use in 1990. This increased to 7.4% in 2018. The electricity sector first overtook the heating and cooling sector in 2005 in terms of total renewable energy use. All EU countries along with Iceland and Norway submitted (NREAPs) to outline the steps taken, and projected progress by each country between 2. The leading renewable sources in the country are biomass, wind, solar and both geothermal and aerothermal power (mostly from ground source and air source heat pumps). [pdf]
A large part of the renewable electricity sold in the Netherlands comes from Norway, a country which generates almost all its electricity from hydropower plants. In the Netherlands, household consumers can choose to buy renewable electricity.
Hydropower, nuclear energy and geothermal energy (heat from deeper than 500m) contribute a limited volume to Dutch energy production: in 2022, nuclear energy produced 4 TWh electricity, hydropower generated 0.05 TWh electricity, and geothermal heat produced 1.7 TWh in heat.
An interesting source of heat recovery used in the Netherlands is sourced from freshly milked milk, or warm milk. However at 0.3% of total renewable energy production (2010 figures) this source is not likely to accelerate energy transition in the country.
People, businesses and organisations will need to switch to smarter and more efficient ways of using energy. Today, fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal still produce much of the energy that the Netherlands needs for its homes, workplaces and transport. But these fossil fuels are slowly running out and becoming more expensive.
After all, tackling all of the climate change as an individual is pretty daunting, but getting green energy to your own home in the Netherlands doesn’t have to be a hassle, and it can be a great way to contribute to a greener world. So how is the land of a thousand windmills doing in its transition to a low-carbon economy?
The Netherlands is also facing new energy security challenges. Natural gas is the largest source of domestic energy production and a key fuel for industry and for building heating.
