Generating without taking another square metre
A solar carport turns a car park into generating surface without using more land. The dual benefit is immediate: vehicles stay cool, which staff notice on day one, and output feeds the building during its heaviest consumption hours.
The difficulty is structural rather than electrical. You need headroom matched to the vehicles that actually circulate — delivery trucks included — foundations sized for wind uplift, and rainwater management designed in from the start: under our rainfall, several hundred square metres of roof discharging anywhere will ruin the surfacing within a season.
Charging points are prepared at the same time, even if installed later: laying ducts during the works costs a fraction of trenching a car park already in service.
Configurations, number of spaces covered and installed capacity are established from your site plan.
