This is one section of the lot, on purpose. The canopy drawn here covers part of the available parking. It is sized as a first stage so the cost, the programme and the disruption can be tested on something small before the format is applied across the rest of the surface.
What the canopy does for the site
A staged format
The canopy repeats in modules, so a first stage over one section can be extended across the remaining parking later without redesigning anything.
High yield and high UV
At roughly 1,500 kWh per kWp a year the generation case is strong, and the same structure delivers shade the car park needs anyway.
Built for a working campus
Around 80% of each canopy is built in our factory and craned in, which keeps trades and hot works away from a live hospital. Sections of the lot stay open through the works.
The roof is not the constraint
Hospital roofs are contested and heavily serviced. A canopy is a new structure sized to the lot, so the campus's largest flat surface comes into scope.
Why this campus
Metro South reports under Queensland Health's net zero commitments, and Logan carries a growing daytime load from a campus that keeps expanding. Generation on the car park is consumed on site behind the meter.
The canopy drawn below delivers 408 kWp, about 0.61 GWh a year on site, for $928,000 of base scope. It covers one section of the available parking, so the figure to take from this page is the rate and the method rather than a ceiling on what the site can hold.
Drawn and priced
The canopy below was drawn to scale on the actual car park and priced through our engine. Figures are preliminary, ex-GST, subject to site assessment: 408 kWp, about 0.61 GWh a year generated on site, for $0.93M of base scope.

Proven on live campuses
Canyon Solar factory-builds solar canopies that turn large car parks into onsite generation and shade. We have delivered them for Woolworths, across six sites, and for IGA, AstraZeneca and CSIRO. The AstraZeneca canopy went up on an active pharmaceutical campus and the client confirmed it was three times faster than in-situ construction, with 75% fewer high-risk on-site labour hours. That is the closest comparison we have to building around a working hospital.

The Grand Canyon
For a lot this size the standout design is the Grand Canyon: a continuous, full-coverage canopy with no gaps over the driving lanes. It gives the highest solar density in our range and a clean roofline that reads as a designed part of the site. Installs can be staged where sections of the car park must stay open.

Any site, in minutes
This site took minutes to draw. We can do the same for any other campus in the network, live: draw the canopy to scale on the car park, size it, and price it while you watch. We can also run the economics on your own inputs, whatever tariff, self-consumption or funding structure applies, so the figures sit inside your own business case format.
How to proceed
A specified option in the next package
The figures here are at a level you can carry into a capital submission or write into the scope of a future car park or campus works package.
A cost reference to test
Run our layout and pricing against your own assumptions before anything goes to market, so the number in your business case is one you have checked.
Every canopy is engineered, factory-built and installed by the team that has delivered 16 projects across three states.
We are not asking for a procurement decision. If it is useful, we will draw the balance of the car park, validate the layout on the actual title boundary, and run the economics on the campus's own consumption and tariff data.
