Transformative Solutions
Details
PILLAR develops and manufactures custom solar carports for parking areas while simplifying the early project phase through a digital solution. Partners can easily configure projects based on location and number of parking spaces. The system automatically takes relevant snow and wind loads into account, creates an initial structural assessment and cost calculation, and directly generates a visualization and a PDF proposal with all key project data. In addition, PILLAR uses its own concrete-free screw foundations, making the construction method more sustainable, resource-efficient, and efficient overall.
The Jury‘s Statement
The expansion of solar carports often stalls because planning, implementation, and operation are complex and insufficiently standardized. The digital platform for solar carport infrastructure consolidates these steps into a clear, repeatable process and transforms individual projects into scalable infrastructure. This allows locations to be evaluated more quickly, concepts to be coordinated more precisely, and decisions to be better understood. The solution achieves its transformative impact by combining design, cost-effectiveness and long-term sustainability, thereby making renewable energy a reliable component of mobility and land-use strategies.
