Park-solar Gmbh

What Park-solar Gmbh does

PARK-SOLAR GmbH is a Stuttgart-based German private company specializing in parking lot photovoltaic (PPV) canopies and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) facades. The company designs, manufactures, and installs lightweight tension-loaded steel construction solar systems inspired by suspension bridge engineering, which it states requires materially less footprint, foundation volume, and construction time than conventional solar carport systems. Its product portfolio spans the PARK-SOLAR PPV canopy line and the SOLAR-FASSADE facade line — including bifacial 360° facades, BAPV retrofits, large-area warehouse facades, and fire-resistance-certified systems (30-minute tested) suitable for high-rise applications. Target customers are German property owners, facility managers, municipalities, and industrial enterprises with large parking areas, logistics halls, and high-bay warehouses, with named reference clients including WÜRTH Industrie Service, Bürkert, alstria office REIT-AG, Naturenergie Glemstal, Naturenergie Kaiserstein, and Gemeinde Hemmingen.

The company operates three distinct revenue streams: turnkey construction and sale of solar canopy and facade systems (one-time project revenue), modular service contracts and facility management (recurring), and an all-inclusive contracting model where PARK-SOLAR finances, operates, and supplies electricity under long-term managed services arrangements. Add-on capabilities include intelligent energy management, battery storage integration, and EV charging infrastructure bundled through partnerships with EnBW, ChargeHere, and smopi. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales, initiated via the website contact form, supported by content marketing, regional press coverage in outlets such as Stuttgarter Zeitung, and industry trade fair participation including Intersolar Europe.

PARK-SOLAR is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding rounds. It was founded by Jassen Mihaylov (structural engineer trained at Jörg Schlaich's institute and Werner Sobek, with execution experience at Drees & Sommer and Pfeifer Structures) alongside co-Managing Director Mirjam Feinauer, supported by a team of approximately 20+ professionals spanning engineering, project management, sales, and field construction. The company has received the VR-InnovationsPreis Mittelstand 2024 from Baden-Württemberg's cooperative banking sector and was named one of Business Worldwide Magazine's 20 Most Innovative Companies to Watch 2023, positioning it to capitalize on multi-state German PV mandates for new open parking lots.

Core offering

PARK-SOLAR GmbH designs, manufactures, and installs lightweight steel-construction photovoltaic canopies over parking lots (PPV) and building-integrated solar facades (BIPV/BAPV). Its proprietary tension-loaded steel construction, modeled on suspension bridge engineering, reduces material and foundation requirements versus conventional solar carport systems. The company delivers projects on a turnkey basis and offers all-inclusive contracting where it finances, operates, and supplies electricity to the customer.

Product overview

PARK-SOLAR GmbH offers two integrated solar product lines: PARK-SOLAR (lightweight parking lot photovoltaic canopies) and SOLAR-FASSADE (building-integrated/added photovoltaic facades). Both systems share common elements including steel construction, PV modules, and electrical infrastructure. The company provides end-to-end services from simulation and planning through construction, commissioning, and ongoing operation, including optional contracting models where PARK-SOLAR finances, operates, and maintains the installation. Add-on capabilities include e-mobility charging infrastructure, battery storage, and intelligent energy management for self-consumption optimization and grid balancing.
