Canopies & EV
Solar carports and canopies
Generate over your car park, shelter staff and visitors, and power EV charging from the sun.
Solar carports convert car parks into generation assets. They suit sites with weak or fully occupied roofs, deliver shaded and sheltered parking, and sit directly above the EV charging demand that makes daytime generation so valuable.
Generation exactly where the demand is
Workplace EV charging peaks during the working day — the same hours a canopy generates. Pairing the two lifts self-consumption well above what an equivalent rooftop array would achieve on a lightly loaded site.
Where charging demand exceeds available grid capacity, a canopy plus battery can defer or avoid an expensive supply upgrade entirely.
A visible statement, not a hidden asset
Rooftop solar is invisible from the ground. A carport is the first thing staff, customers and visitors see — which matters when your energy commitment is part of your customer proposition, tender responses or ESG reporting.
Structure, drainage and lighting integrated
We design canopies with integrated LED lighting, guttering and drainage, EV charger mounting and, where required, ANPR or barrier integration — so the finished structure works as parking infrastructure, not just a frame holding panels.
What we assess
The checks behind the recommendation.
Ground conditions
Foundation design, buried services and drainage.
EV charging plan
Charger count, power sharing and future fleet growth.
Electrical capacity
Available supply headroom and the case for storage.
Planning position
Consent requirements, visual impact and lighting spill.
Whole-life cost
Capital, maintenance and charging revenue where applicable.
