Parking Lot Roofing With PV Panels: Solution for the Specific Use of Photovoltaic Source

Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the solutions that contributes to the diversification of energy sources and in addition to reasonable integrating into the grid positively affects the energy security and self-sufficiency. The use of photovoltaics for combined use with the aim of eliminating the depreciation of valuable/agriculture land is starting to be a relevant and discussed topic. The paper illustrates a specific case of the integration of photovoltaics for the needs of a parking lot and powering an associated railway station. The designed parking lot type park and ride at the railway station in Nové Košariská in Slovakia and the related technical and economic analyses in variant scenarios were chosen as a model case of study.
