01 — FOUR COLLECTIONS

The same pavilion.
Four different
arguments.

A product sold identically in Vilnius and Riyadh is being mis-sold in at least one of them. The structure is common; the materials, the battery sizing and — most importantly — the reason to buy it are not.

Specific yield, kWh per kWp — 55°N to 26°N · worst month as % of best

Vilnius 916

Munich 1066

Faro 1670

Riyadh 1753

The dark column is annual yield; the coloured foot is the worst month as a share of the best. Notice that the two do not move together — Riyadh has the best sun in this set and the worst economics, while Munich has mediocre sun and the shortest payback in Europe.

Atlantic & Sun Belt

Sold on time-of-use tariffs and grid fragility

California pairs 1,714 kWh per kilowatt-peak with 29.4-cent retail electricity, which makes Los Angeles the single strongest location in this entire set. Texas offers the most volatile wholesale market anywhere, and Florida offers hurricanes.

Miami and Phoenix have no household spot-market exposure, so we claim no trading value there at all. In Florida the honest argument is storm resilience, and the structure requires a Notice of Acceptance.

Mediterranean

Sold on generation, shade and self-sufficiency

Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Croatia combine 1,270 to 1,670 kWh per kilowatt-peak with winters that never truly stop. Faro’s worst month is still 46% of its best.

In Spain the contracted-power charge cannot be avoided, so only about 62% of the bill is displaceable. Our figures reflect that; many competitors’ do not.

Gulf

Sold on shade, cool cabins and resilience — never on payback

The Gulf has the best irradiation in this collection and the worst economics, because electricity costs between 3.2 and 7.3 cents a kilowatt-hour.

We will not quote a payback period in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh or Doha, because the arithmetic gives 27 to 64 years and presenting that as an investment case would be dishonest.

Nordic / Northern Europe

Sold on bills, resilience and the grid

The strongest economics in the world, and the weakest winters. Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and the Baltics have Europe’s highest retail electricity prices and its widest wholesale spreads.

We do not claim energy independence north of the Alps. What we claim is a smaller bill, cheap car charging, power through a cut, and a battery that earns on dark days.

CAROSOLARO pavilions used for hospitality guest charging

05 — HOSPITALITY

A revenue line, not only a bill cut.

For hospitality the arithmetic is different again: guest charging is a revenue line, shade is a comfort standard, and the structure is photographed by every guest who arrives. Commercial configurations use the Fleet software tier, which manages multiple charge points.
