Solar carports UK

UK solar carports provide valuable parking lot shade while generating clean energy and a valuable income.

UK Solar Carports

UK solar carports provide a cost-effective way of installing solar panels if your business does not have sufficient space for roof mounted solar or a ground mounted solar installation.

Solar carports are one of the most popular types of solar installation, because the advantages are too good to pass up. UK solar carports require no additional land since the solar panel installation occurs on an existing carpark.

Solar carports are increasingly on the agenda of every business, regardless of their size.

There are many benefits of installing solar carports in the UK.

Installing a UK solar carport provides the customers who park beneath it with a weather proof protected cover that can be lit at night providing extra security and comfort around your site, as well as helping to keep cars cool.

A visible commitment to sustainability

Employees and customers are paying close attention to what businesses are doing to reduce their carbon footprint and by installing a UK solar carport, you are making a highly visible commitment to sustainability.

Solar Carport costs

Solar carport costs vary depending on the type and size of the system which is installed. Footprint Zero are not tied to any specific manufacturers and will advise you on the best available system to match the size or your car park and any other specific requirements. The total costs of a solar carport can be fully covered by our Power Purchase Agreements in the UK so, even if you don’t have the required capital, we can cover the solar carport costs for you.

Best Solar Carport

The best solar carport for your business will depend on a number of factors including the space and height available and whether your parking is arranged in single or double bays.

There are a huge range of solar panels available and we will guide you through the process of selecting the best solar carport, including the framework to support the panels and how the carport integrates with car park lighting, EV charging and car park security systems.

Typical designs of solar carports include gull wing layouts for double parking bays and monopitch systems for single or double parking bays.

Fully funded solar with zero upfront investment

So, for businesses that don’t have the capital, or prefer to invest their capital in other areas of their organisation, Footprint Zero can help by providing fully funded solar installations with zero upfront investment, with the savings more than covering the costs of the financing.
