What is a Solar Carport?

A solar carport is a ground-mounted steel canopy structure that generates clean, renewable energy from sunlight while providing shelter for vehicles. By harnessing solar energy, these carports can produce power for on-site use, electric vehicle charging, and even export excess energy back to the grid.

Solar carports are versatile, easily adaptable to various parking configurations, and can be customised to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. They can be installed as standalone units or in conjunction with a roof-mounted solar PV system, making them an excellent solution for businesses seeking solar energy options but lacking adequate roof space or having roofs cluttered with vents or skylights.

SunGift Solar have extensive expertise in the UK when it comes to designing and installing solar carport systems. Back in 2015, we led the way in designing and installing a solar carport on the top deck of a multistorey car park, which at the time was the largest of its kind. Since then, we have installed multiple solar carport systems throughout the UK. Designing effective solar carport systems demands specialised expertise to create weather-resistant structures that effectively save costs while producing clean, renewable energy.
