Petrol Stations – Solar Power & Charging Infrastructure for Today’s Mobility
Solar energy for your station – reduce costs, unlock new revenue
Petrol stations are no longer just places to refuel – they have become service hubs for mobility, convenience and comfort. At the same time, operators face increasing pressure: high and volatile energy costs for shops, lighting, refrigeration or car washes, tight margins in the traditional fuel business, and rising customer expectations regarding sustainability.
With a tailored photovoltaic and storage solution from TOP SUN SOLAR, you can future-proof your petrol station. Generate low-cost electricity directly on site, ensure smooth operation even during peak loads, and reduce dependence on the grid. In addition, by offering modern charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, you open up new revenue streams while increasing the attractiveness of your station for both existing and new customers. In this way, your petrol station transforms into a profitable energy hub of the future.
Just a few steps to your individual solution.
With TOP SUN SOLAR you will find the optimal solution for your project – whether it’s your home, your commercial building or an open space.
Our solution for petrol stations
- PV on rooftops & canopies
Optimal use of existing surfaces above pumps and shops. High daytime yields, exactly when demand and load often peak. - PV carports & parking areas
Covered parking generates electricity, provides shade and enhances customer experience. - Ground-mounted PV on unused areas
Unused or underutilised land becomes a revenue source – with secure fencing and clean cabling. - Battery storage (peak shaving & night-time operation)
Mitigate load peaks (e.g. refrigeration, compressors, car wash), use solar power in evening/night hours, buffer for fast chargers. - E-vehicle charging infrastructure (AC & DC)
From AC wallboxes for longer stays to DC fast-charging stations for pass-through customers. Optional load management, PV surplus charging and integration with common backend/payment systems (e.g. OCPP-compatible solutions). - Intelligent energy management
Prioritise self-consumption, dynamic load and charging management, monitoring and alerts – all from one source. - Planning, statics & safety
System design in line with standards, considering fire protection and safety requirements for petrol station sites. - Service & maintenance
Proactive inspections, remote monitoring, fast response – ensuring maximum availability and return.
Your benefits as a petrol station operator
