Photovoltaic Canopies — Port of Piombino

Piombino, Italy
Corten steel fabrication Renewable energy Public works

Supply and installation of 33 photovoltaic canopies in Corten steel at the Port of Piombino, covering the parking areas used by passengers travelling to the Island of Elba. The structures combine covered parking with renewable energy production, in a highly saline environment that demands corrosion-resistant materials.

01

Corten steel load-bearing structure

Shaped columns and beams in Corten steel, chosen for its resistance to the marine environment and for blending with the port landscape, supporting the photovoltaic modules.

02

Photovoltaic roofing

33 canopies fitted with photovoltaic modules across the parking areas, generating clean energy while shading vehicles waiting to board.

03

Installation within the port area

On-site assembly coordinated with terminal operations, respecting vehicle and pedestrian flows towards the Elba ferry departures.
