We see Calgary’s vast network of commercial parking lots not as wasted space, but as the city’s next great clean energy and mobility infrastructure.
At Vats Brothers Inc., our vision is bold yet practical: transform thousands of underutilized parking lots across Calgary into a distributed network of solar-powered EV charging hubs. By combining high-efficiency solar canopies, intelligent battery storage, and high-power DC fast charging, we will help decarbonize Alberta’s grid, accelerate electric vehicle adoption, and create long-term value for commercial property owners.
We aim to systematically deploy solar canopies over commercial, retail, office, industrial, and multi-family parking lots city-wide. Each installation turns passive asphalt into active clean energy generation and EV charging infrastructure. Our model is designed for rapid, repeatable deployment — allowing us to scale from dozens to hundreds of sites across Calgary over the coming years.
Distributed solar + battery storage reduces reliance on distant fossil-fuel generation and cuts transmission losses. Our systems provide valuable grid services — peak shaving, demand response, and resilience during outages. Over time, this network of decentralized clean energy assets will meaningfully lower the carbon intensity of Calgary’s electricity supply while supporting Alberta’s broader energy transition.
Convenient, high-power DC fast charging at the places where Calgarians already park (work, shopping, home) is the key to removing range anxiety and driving mass EV adoption. By placing chargers where people spend time, we maximize utilization and make electric driving the easy, natural choice for daily commutes and errands across the city.
Every system we install is designed for longevity and evolution. Our modular architecture supports higher charging speeds as vehicles advance, battery expansion, and future technologies such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration. Built to withstand Calgary’s climate — from hail and heavy snow to extreme cold — these assets will deliver value for decades while staying ahead of regulatory and technological change.
One parking lot at a time.
