Shelter your vehicle and generate clean energy with a solar carport. Ideal for homes without roof space and businesses wanting covered parking with EV charging. Residential from £8,000.
A solar carport is a free-standing canopy structure fitted with solar panels on the roof. It serves a dual purpose: protecting your vehicle from the elements whilst generating clean, renewable electricity. Solar carports are an excellent solution for properties where roof-mounted panels are not practical, whether due to roof orientation, shading, listed building status, or simply because you want to keep your roof clear.
For homeowners, a solar carport replaces or supplements a traditional carport or garage canopy, adding significant functionality. The energy generated can power your home, charge an electric vehicle, or be stored in a battery for use in the evening. With an integrated EV charger, your carport becomes a complete home charging station powered by the sun.
For businesses, solar carports transform car parks into energy-generating assets. Covered parking is a valued amenity for staff and customers, while the solar generation offsets operational energy costs and demonstrates environmental commitment. Commercial solar carports can be combined with multiple EV charging points to create a comprehensive sustainable transport hub.
Dual-purpose structures that shelter your vehicle and generate clean energy.
A 4-6kW carport system generates 3,400-5,100 kWh per year, enough to power a significant portion of an average home's annual electricity needs.
Shelter your car from rain, frost, hail, bird droppings, and UV damage. Extend your vehicle's paintwork life and avoid morning scraping in winter.
Add a Zappi or Ohme EV charger directly to the carport structure. Charge your electric vehicle with free solar electricity during the day.
Perfect when your house roof is north-facing, shaded, or unsuitable. The carport can be positioned at the optimal angle regardless of your home.
A solar carport adds functional outdoor space, energy generation, and kerb appeal. A genuine investment that increases your property's market value.
Pair with battery storage to use your solar energy in the evening. Store daytime generation and power your home after dark without using grid electricity.
Single and double carport structures designed for domestic driveways. Available in aluminium or steel with a range of finishes to complement your home.
Multi-bay carport structures for business car parks, retail centres, and public spaces. Scalable from a few bays to entire car park coverage.
A solar carport with an integrated EV charger is the ultimate combination. Generate free electricity from sunshine and use it to charge your car. A typical 4kW carport generates enough energy to drive 8,000-10,000 miles per year in an EV, saving over £800 annually compared to petrol and eliminating public charging costs.
