Our most popular design, the Gradasol^TM solar carport comes either as a single-span or gull-wing style design. Concealed cables and drainage create an elegant silhouette.

Gradasol Max^TM

An elegant gull-wing style carport designed for large spans and large carparks. All cables and drainage are concealed within the frame for a minimalist appearance.

Stilosol^TM

A cost-efficient solar carport with extra bracing, Stilosol^TM is designed to cover large areas cost-effectively. It is also available as a single span design.

Stilosol Plus^TM

Our double post solar-powered Stilosol Plus^TM carport provides a cost-efficient large-span space, and is well suited to central sections of carparks.

Valasol^TM

Suitable for large or small car parks, the Valasol^TM's aluminium design is available in standard or cantilever configurations, and can be surface mounted if traditional foundations are not possible.

Cut Carbon Emissions with Renewable Energy

Make use of your solar car parks to generate emission-free electricity to reduce your corporate carbon footprint, and make big steps towards your Net Zero goals.

Electricity generated onsite helps to offset rising energy costs, protecting the bottom line and delivering ongoing cost savings each year.

European Designed and Sourced Materials

We prefer to use European suppliers for solar panels and components due to the proven high quality and robustness of their products.

There is also the advantage of lower transport emissions than importing from the Far East.

Customised To Your Needs

Choose a solar powered carport entirely customised to your needs – your roof type, incorporate lighting, EV charge points, or company colours as desired.

The solar panels work in the same way as a traditional rooftop solar installation, with a connection to your existing electricity supply, backup battery storage, or connection to the grid (dependent on DNO approval).

Solar Panels & EV Charging to Generate Additional Revenue

Installing EV Charging points underneath our Solspan® solar carports gives you the opportunity to sell the electricity to the public and generate additional revenue. Or, offer EV charging as a benefit to staff.

Manufacturing, Retail & Commercial

A solar carport will generate renewable energy onsite to help offset your electricity costs and reduce your overheads.

Or provide customers and staff with a safe and dry place to park their vehicles while they shop, work or relax.

Public Sector

Install a solar carport to maximize your outdoor space, reduce your corporate carbon footprint and effectively meet your organisation’s crucial Net Zero goals.

Distribution

Solspan® solar carports can be used to offset rising energy costs and deliver savings every year for distribution companies all over the UK. In addition, installing EV charging points along with the carport offers an additional revenue stream and may help to increase customer dwell time.

Transport & EV Charging Infrastructure

Generate significant quantities of clean energy to charge EV vehicles on-the-go at service stations and petrol stations, and boost profits.

Can I charge EV's with solar panel carports?

Yes, the great thing about our solar carports is that the power generated from the panels can be used to charge EV. The charging points can be installed under the carport.

How long does a solar carport take to install?

From the initial quote to completing and commissioning the installation, the lead time for a Solspan solar carport could be anything between three and five months.

The lead in time varies depending on the size and complexity of the project (larger projects will take longer to install). There are also factors outside our control, such as waiting for planning applications and permits from the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to be approved.

How much does it cost to install a solar carport for my business?

We can't give a definitive answer to this question, as every project is bespoke and every client has different requirements. Contact us for a cost estimate for your particular project
