About SunDock Core
SunDockCore is the foundational pillar of the SunDock system, designed to transform underutilised parking spaces into highly efficient solar energy assets. This innovative approach addresses the dual challenges businesses face today: the escalating energy costs and the spatial limitations in urban areas for expanding renewable energy solutions.
Rising Energy Costs:
With energy prices increasing significantly year after year, businesses are under pressure to mitigate the financial impact. Solar power, as a proven and sustainable energy solution, offers a dependable shield against unpredictable energy cost hikes, helping businesses to stabilise operational expenses and maintain profitability.
Urban Space Constraints:
In crowded urban environments, limited roof space restricts businesses’ ability to expand solar energy capacity, which hinders their solar energy generation potential, capping ROI and sustainability goals. SunDockCore offers an innovative solution to this problem.
The SunDockCore Advantage:
SunDockCore repurposes parking bays into multifunctional solar carports, significantly increasing solar power generation for your building premises. Beyond solar energy, it serves as a platform for additional services such as EV charging, digital signage, and solar-powered car washing. These value-added services enhance the customer experience and extend their interaction time at your business premises.
Proven ROI and Sustainability:
Investing in SunDockCore is not just a step toward sustainability but a sound business strategy. By optimising underutilised parking areas, businesses benefit from substantial energy cost savings and the opportunity to create new revenue streams. SunDockCore turns dormant spaces into active assets, delivering financial returns, reducing carbon footprints, and enhancing customer engagement.
How SunDock Works
SunDock is a versatile solar carport solution designed to turn parking spaces into sustainable energy hubs. At the core are the SunDock car ports (SundockCore) which generate solar energy from the available parking real estate to be utilised on premises as load reduction and where applicable, power bolt-on products such as: Charge EV, Engage and Clean.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
SunDockCore harnesses solar energy through integrated panels, converting sunlight into electricity for immediate use or to be stored in batteries for use at night. Through smart energy management Sundock core is able to reduce grid load and prioritise the timing of solar energy use during peak hours for maximised savings. SundockCore’s proposition is to maximise ROI through solar generation and storage capacity for businesses in urban areas.
The following products can be added to SundockCore depending on your businesses needs:
1. EV Charging (Charge EV):
Charge EV offers either a 7.2kw or 22kw EV charger option, transforming any premises into an EV charging hub. For a fixed monthly fee, Charge EV includes an integrated ‘tap to pay’ POS terminal and cloud based management platform providing full visibility and control for operators seeking to earn revenue. Alternatively operators can offer EV charging as a free value add to their patrons.
2. Digital Signage (Engage):
Engage turns SunDock into a dynamic advertising platform with remotely operated digital screens displaying content and promotions to enhance communication with your customers. By entering into an ad-hoc SLA with our partner marketing agencies, Engage operators can seamlessly flight their own content and/or create new revenue streams through selling advertising slots to 3rd parties during peak hours.
3. Solar-Powered Car Wash (Clean):
Clean offers an eco-friendly car wash, reducing both water and electricity consumption. It adds value by providing a sustainable and cost friendly solution for internal car cleaning business operations or a customer facing value add.

I can definitely vouch for you. I am extremely happy with the system you installed for me. Jacques' advice was the best I've ever received. He even called me while I was overseas because he was monitoring the system and noticed that it was down due to a simple internet network error. The service provided is truly incredible. I will definitely have it installed by you in my next home as well.
