  • Solar Parking [Elektronski vir]
    Slapnik, Veronika, 1998-
    Air pollution related to energy consumption has emerged as a significant global problem. One of the possibilities to mitigate the effect of energy consumption is the use of renewable sources of ... energy, such as solar power. However, as some studies show, solar power currently provides for less than 1% of total electricity consumption. The world population is growing, and so are their demands and dynamics of life. Consequently, there has never been a larger number of vehicles in use. All this exerts pressure on energy consumption and on the construction of parking spaces. By covering parking spaces with solar panels, both issues would be addressed: parking spaces would become more organised and would provide a part of the required energy. Besides, by providing shadows over parked cars, the users would not need to use as much air conditioning as before, which would result in better fuel efficiency and thus fewer emissions. Some additional features could be added to the system, such as a charging system for e-vehicles. In the paper, the possibility of implementing solar panels covered parking spaces in Portorož, a tourist resort on the Slovenian coast, will be tested. The objective of the paper is to calculate the costs of solar infrastructure and the potential energy generation to conduct a break-even analysis for a parking location in the proximity of the Faculty of Maritime Studies and Transport.
