Solar carports

Commercial solar carports

A solar carport is a dual-purpose, stand-alone steel structure that shelters vehicles from the elements in addition to generating clean, renewable energy from the sun. The generated electricity can be used on-site or to charge a fleet of electric vehicles. They can be designed bespoke and will blend into the surrounding environment. They increase land value and create revenue streams for site operators from electric vehicle charging points, branding and advertising. Carports are popular in central Europe. The solutions are gaining traction in the UK market owing to an increase in electric cars and a decrease in the cost of components such as panels and inverters.

Installing LED lighting on the underside of the carport benefits solar carports. It reduces expenses for conventional lighting, such as running light lamps. More localised lighting equals more cost-efficiency, which creates a safer environment. The increased corporate social responsibility factors are benefits of this solution. Your company will be visionary and forward-thinking, taking action on carbon emissions.
