PowerPort is a solar-integrated structure designed to park cars under it, providing a stylish and functional parking solution. PowerPort systems are available in various sizes, starting from 180 sq. ft. / 2.4 kW PV, 250 sq. ft. / 3.46 kW PV, to larger configurations like 400 sq. ft. / 5.1 kW PV. Approved dealers or installers can seamlessly install PowerPort in most locations, including commercial spaces and residences.

Arka BIPV products include solar tiles, custom-designed mounting structure, and an improved electrical interconnection to offer a solar gazebo solution. While conventional PV modules are made with glass-on-back sheet with metal frames for structural integrity, Arka products are built with tempered glass-on-glass without a metal frame offering superior durability, inherent structural integrity, and ruggedness.

Arka's innovative solar tile technology enhances power density and performance. Using one-third cut high-performance 182 mm solar cells, PowerPort achieves more power from a smaller area, providing a sleek aesthetic finish and increased reliability. Each Arka tile produces approximately 77 W of power in a 250 sq. ft. area, with PowerPort featuring forty-five such tiles for a 3.46 kW rated DC capacity.

Arka products, including PowerPort, undergo rigorous reliability testing for IEC 61215 and UL 61730 certifications, ensuring a 25-year lifespan and resistance to cyclone winds, hail, rain, and snow loads. The PowerPort, along with its power inverter and gateway, is extensively tested for long-term durability.

Arka products, including associated structures and electronics, are in the process of local approvals. The on-grid PV systems currently offered by Arka allow for energy generation payback from local utilities. Future plans include hybrid inverter-based solutions with Lithium-Ion battery storage.

Arka's gateway, equipped with a cellular modem and WiFi, continuously monitors energy production every 15 minutes. The data is stored on cloud servers and accessible to system owners through the Spotlight mobile and web apps.

Yes, PowerPort is designed to be all-weather proof and completely waterproof. It includes a waterproof underlayment to withstand various weather conditions, ensuring durability and improved aesthetics.

Yes, after a site survey to assess the roof condition and determine the right location, PowerPort can be installed on older homes' RCC roofs. A design plan is shared with customers, and additional checks on electrical circuits/main panel are performed before scheduling the actual installation.

Arka recommends simple and innovative solutions for periodic maintenance, offering customers the option to sign up for maintenance services with installation partners or purchase cleaning accessories.

A 2-hour pre-install site survey assesses the site and electrical interconnections. PowerPort systems of 180 sq. ft. and 250 sq. ft. typically take about 2 days to install, while larger systems of 400 sq. ft. and above may take around 3-5 days.
