As a pioneering application of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in an urban transportation and commercial complex, the Meihua West Road Zhonglixin Auto Showroom BIPV rooftop solar project in Zhuhai is setting a new standard for clean energy integration in modern showroom architecture. It not only upgrades the energy structure but also demonstrates the seamless fusion of aesthetics, safety, and sustainability in urban commercial buildings.
The project is located in the Zhonglixin Auto Sales Center on Meihua West Road, Zhuhai. Spanning a total area of 10,000㎡, this center is a certified 4S dealership by JAC Motors, specializing in the sales of JAC's full vehicle lineup including commercial vans, SUVs, and sedans.
The main building adopts a reinforced concrete frame, fully compliant with national rooftop PV retrofitting standards, providing a strong and secure base for large-scale solar integration.

The project utilizes a custom-designed waterproof canopy-type BIPV mounting system, achieving nearly 90% rooftop coverage. The system not only generates power efficiently but also provides additional benefits such as sunshade, waterproofing, and thermal insulation.
To ensure stability under Zhuhai's typhoon-prone climate, the PV racking system is built with hot-dip galvanized Q235 structural steel, engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to Level 12 typhoons (equivalent wind pressure ≥ 0.6kN/m²). This design meets stringent national structural load and safety certifications.

Leveraging Zhuhai's abundant solar radiation, the BIPV system ensures long-term energy production, helping the business reduce electricity costs and improve energy autonomy.
The BIPV modules provide passive shading and insulation, lowering indoor cooling demands during summer months and contributing to overall energy savings.
With a sleek and uniform panel layout, the rooftop design preserves the modern aesthetics of the commercial showroom, enhancing both brand image and building functionality.
With triple safety features—anti-wind, waterproof, and anti-corrosion, plus a remote smart monitoring platform—the project ensures stable performance and minimized operational risk.
The Meihua West Road Auto Showroom BIPV project is a powerful demonstration of how commercial buildings can play a leading role in the renewable energy transition. By integrating power generation, building function, and aesthetic appeal, this project sets a new benchmark for urban BIPV deployment—proving that sustainability and commercial value can go hand in hand.
