Solar Carports

A Surprisingly Smart (and commercially astute) Solution

One of the biggest issues with car parks is that, as much as they’re clearly necessary for your business, they’re effectively ‘dead space’.

But what if all that space could be turned into an electricity-generating powerhouse? And what if that could be done in a way that effectively cost you nothing or, better still, generated not just energy, but bottom-line profit? In fact, all of this is entirely possible with our Solar Carport solution… and it isn’t just car park space that we can convert and turn into an energy-producing, carbon-reducing cash cow.

How it works...

Our Solar Carport solutions really are as simple as they sound.

With minimal groundworks, and loss of not a single car parking space, you turn ‘dead’ real estate into an on-site power plant, producing clean, low cost energy with the added bonus of turning your open car park into a covered parking area.

We can even add EV charging into the installation, if it makes strategic and commercial sense for you. On average, one solar carport-enabled parking space typically generates enough electricity to power an EV for c. 20, 000 miles (c. 32,000 km).

Why act now?

Two key reasons:

Given the gap between volatile, grid-supplied energy prices, and the stable nature of both solar energy solutions and fixed pricing for the energy it generates, waiting longer to embrace a solar PV solution (where appropriate for your situation) is only likely to widen the gap, potentially increasing your costs significantly.

Compliance and low-/neutral-carbon energy initiatives are bearing down on every business (see our note in the EV Charging section about the changes in regulation for new builds as of June 2022). Implementing a Solar PV-based solution now puts you ahead of the curve – one less thing to have to tackle in the near future.

As with our standard Solar PV mechanism, we offer THREE options to enable you to generate significant benefits using our creative Solar Carport solution:
1. PPA [essentially, ‘free’* use of our equipment]
2. Self-funded (CapEx), where you purchase and own the installation
3. Commercial lending through our panel of lenders, to fund the installation
