A solar carport is a dual purpose, stand-alone structure that provides shelter for vehicles, whilst generating clean, renewable energy from the sun. This free electricity can then either be used on-site and (or) used to charge a fleet of electric vehicles.

Solar carports are designed to cover many styles of car parking spaces and can be designed to seamlessly blend in with the surrounding environment. They can be customised and equipped with gutters to harvest rain water or even have branding applied.

Solar carports can increase land value and create revenue opportunities for site operators from EV charge-points, branding and advertising.

Make a statement on sustainability

From a dual parking space to an entire commercial car park; a solar carport makes a real statement on sustainability and not only offers the opportunity to charge electric vehicles on-site but to generate an income from low grade parking spaces, aesthetically improve your carpark, visibly promote your CSR credentials and provide staff, visitors and their vehicles with a shelter from the elements.

Solar carports can be installed independently or in conjunction with a roof mounted solar PV system on your main premises. The solar carport is particularly useful for companies exploring solar options without adequate roof space or with roof spaces filled with vents or skylights.
