Solar Carports

We install commercial solar carports to companies in the North East

Make the most of your car parking space and secure your company’s energy future with AR Power’s commercial solar carport solutions.

Professionally designed and installed, our solar carports provide your business with a large outdoor covered area that shelters car parking spaces whilst converting daylight into electricity. This solar energy can increase your business’ energy capacity and can be used to power electric vehicle (EV) charging points for both employees and visitors.

At AR Power, we manage your solar carport installation from initial concept through to implementation, and we will support you with planning application and grid connection consents. Not only are our solar carport solutions quick and easy to install, but they are also designed to meet your individual needs and maintain their value over time. If you wish to move premises in the future, our solar carports can be easily repositioned.

We install solar carports to businesses and organisations across the North East including Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, South Shields, Sunderland and Washington. We have national reach so please get in touch if you are outside of the North East and would like help with your commercial solar panel carport solution. 

What is a solar carport?

A solar carport is a ground-mounted, canopy style installation, which is built over car parking spaces. Designed with a slight tilt, the carport roof is an optimum area for solar panels to be seamlessly mounted, and also allows for rainwater to be naturally drained using a guttering system. The carport’s solar panels generate electricity, which is ready to be used on site immediately.

From covering a dual parking space to covering an entire commercial car park, solar carports vary drastically in size, and are a suitable option regardless of the size of your business parking space. If you already have a roof mounted solar PV system on your building, solar carports can be installed to work in conjunction with your current system.

What are the benefits of commercial solar carports for businesses?

Having a solar carport installed on your premises will not only make a real statement on your company’s commitment to sustainability, but it will also provide access to a range of benefits, with the main benefits including:
Financial Gains

Financial Gains

By producing energy on-site, your energy bills will be significantly lower. There is also the option to sell excess energy back to the grid, or to charge electric vehicles a fee for using your charge points.

Enhanced Energy Capacity

Enhanced Energy Capacity

Solar carports increase onsite energy generation and are especially a great option if you do not have adequate roof space for solar panels.

Electric Vehicle Charging

Electric Vehicle Charging

EV charging points can easily be connected to your carport system allowing for both your employees and visitors to charge their electric vehicles whilst on site. This is also a great option if your company vehicles are electric.

Aesthetic Appeal
