Let's face it - most carports are about as exciting as watching paint dry. But what if your dull parking space could generate electricity, slash energy bills, and make your property the envy of the neighborhood? Enter Goomax Energy's single row carport mounting system, the Swiss Army knife of solar solutions that's turning asphalt oceans into power plants.
Unlike traditional solar installations that require rooftop real estate, Goomax's system transforms underutilized parking areas into clean energy hubs. Picture this: your employees' cars shaded by sleek solar panels that simultaneously power your HVAC system. It's like having a money-printing umbrella!
When Phoenix-based Walmart installed Goomax carports in 2023, they reduced cooling costs by 25% while generating 1.2 MW of power. Their maintenance manager joked, "Our parking lots now work harder than our cashiers!"
The Inflation Reduction Act's 30% tax credit makes these systems essentially buy-one-get-one-free for qualifying businesses. Combine this with accelerated depreciation (MACRS) and you're looking at ROI periods under 5 years.
Modern problems require modern solutions. Goomax's optional integrated chargers turn carports into EV fueling stations. A Chicago hotel chain reported 28% increase in EV-driving guests after installation - talk about green marketing!
Goomax's secret sauce? Their patented click-lock system. We timed their crew during a Florida installation:
| Task | Traditional System | Goomax |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation Work | 3 Days | 1.5 Days |
| Frame Assembly | 40 Hours | 22 Hours |
| Panel Mounting | 2 Weeks | 4 Days |
"It's like LEGO for adults," quipped the site foreman. "We completed the 150-stall project before the client finished their coffee stock."
Goomax's systems aren't just pretty faces. Their engineering team borrowed aerospace vibration-damping tech to create structures that survived:
Emerging trends in solar carports include:
Goomax's R&D head shared an amusing prototype: "We're testing panels that display custom messages. Imagine your carport wishing you 'Happy Birthday' while redirecting power to your office!"
Let's tackle the elephant in the parking lot:
Considering taking the plunge? Here's how commercial properties typically proceed:
A Las Vegas casino chain combined steps 1-3 using Goomax's VR design tool. "We visualized different layouts like choosing slot machines," laughed their facilities director. "Took longer to decide on frame color than approve the budget!"
Let's crunch some data from 50 Goomax installations (2022-2024):
As one CFO put it: "Between energy savings, tax breaks, and happier employees, this is the closest thing to a fiscal holy grail."
We grilled Goomax's engineers with every objection imaginable:
The kicker? Their warranty includes performance insurance - if panels underproduce, they'll cut you a check for the difference. Talk about confidence!
While we could geek out about torque values and PERC cells all day, here's the bottom line: Goomax's single row carport mounting system isn't just about being green. It's about being smart with every square foot of your property. As energy prices rollercoaster and sustainability becomes non-negotiable, that shaded parking spot might just become your most valuable asset.

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.
