Photovoltaic carports
Rolling out photovoltaic carports on sites that never close
Managing the roll-out of photovoltaic carports on the car parks of a major retail group, all over France — on sites that never close.
The context
Covering car parks with solar panels: local electricity, and shade for customers. The carports are built and operated by an external operator; our role is to make it work in the best conditions and to protect the group's interests.
Two complementary roles
Aliss, project manager
She manages a portfolio of around one hundred sites, from the first study to operation:
- operator meetings and reporting;
- site layout and legal aspects (leases, co-ownership general meetings);
- scheduling, alerts and recovery plans.
Wael, works coordinator
On the ground, he moves the works forward without disrupting sites open to the public:
- phasing agreed with site operations;
- site visits and daily reporting;
- quality, safety and schedule, site by site.
What makes the difference
The difficulty is not technical, it is organisational: dozens of sites in parallel, each with its own constraints. Three keys: rigorous project management, coordination of every stakeholder, and phased works to keep customers safe.
