Benefits of Installing Our Solar Carports
Solar carports can generate significant quantities of clean energy for use on site, to be fed back into the grid or for charging EV vehicles.
Make use of your car parks to generate emission-free electricity to reduce your corporate carbon footprint, and make big steps towards your Net Zero goals.
In addition, electricity generated onsite helps to offset rising energy costs, protecting the bottom line and delivering ongoing cost savings each year. Complete system payback period is generally between 6-8 years.
European Designed and Sourced Materials
Many of the components and materials we use are sourced from the UK and Europe.
We prefer to use European suppliers for solar panels and components, due to the proven high-quality and robustness of their products. There is also the advantage of lower transport emissions than importing from the Far East.
Customised To Your Needs
Choose a carport entirely customised to your needs – choose your roof type, incorporate lighting, EV charge points, or company colours as desired.
The solar panels work in exactly the same way as a traditional rooftop solar installation, with connection to your existing electricity supply, back up battery storage, or connection to the grid (dependent on DNO approval).
We’ll look after every detail for you, including a free, no-obligation site survey, design, groundworks, carport and solar panel installation, and electrical connections by our qualified electricians.
You’ll also get a full report modelling expected electricity generation, CO2 emissions saved and projected ROI and payback times.

Worked Example
Solar Carports: 2nr 50m length x 10m width
Parking Spaces Covered: 80
Solar Panel Qty: 1000m²
- CO2 Savings: Between 192,000 and 195,000 kg per annum*
- Cost Savings in 1st Year: £38,000 - £55,000*
- EV Vehicles Charged Per Year: Approx 3,500*
NB: Outputs are dependent on location, carport design and orientation. Estimated outputs, payback times and ROI will be provided with proposals.
*CO2 savings may vary depending on current emission levels
*Cost savings will depend on what percentage of electricity generated is self-consumed
*Number of vehicles charged based on approx 54kW charge per vehicle.
