Installation of solar car port allowed a property in Wiltshire to become more than 78% self-sufficient.
At a time when sustainability and innovation are moving ever closer, homeowners and businesses across the UK are searching for ways to harness clean energy and reduce energy costs, while using available space more efficiently. Solar carports are therefore a practical option to consider, offering a mix of functionality and energy performance, the product is rapidly gaining favour in both domestic and commercial sectors. As example, we’ve highlighted the benefits of our recently installed solar carport installation for a private client in Wiltshire, UK.

Project Delivery
We supported our client during the design and planning processes, maximising energy generation potential of the on-site solar carport location, complete with integrated battery storage and EV charging facilities. On completion, data obtained from the on-site solar pv assembly confirmed that the property has been 78.9 % self-sufficient from an energy generation and usage perspective.
Efficient Use of Space
Many properties have limited connecting space, utilising existing parking areas for energy generation is a logical means to maximise energy generating potential. Solar carports rarely require additional land as usually installed over existing parking areas, an ideal solution for both residential and commercial clients.
Its versatility extends to potential additions, such as batteries, electric vehicle charging stations, or can be transformed into a traditional garage, outdoor kitchen or workspace.
Reduced Energy Costs
Solar carports contribute directly reduced electricity bills. Energy generated reduces reliance on the grid network provides substantial savings over time. Combined with battery storage, excess energy can be stored for use during peak hours or sold to the grid, creating further savings potential.
Environmental Impact
Solar energy supports a more sustainable lifestyle. Solar carports reduce a properties carbon footprint by generating renewable energy and contributing to reduced carbon emissions and fossil fuel dependence. Solar carports can also incorporate EV charging stations, providing an eco-friendly charging solution.
A Smart Investment
As the UK continues to embrace renewable energy, solar power has become a key player in the quest for sustainability. Inclusion of Solar batteries also allow property owners to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during cloudy periods, ensuring continuous access to renewable energy and greater energy independence.
Government Incentives and Rebates
The UK government currently offers various schemes and incentives to encourage the adoption of solar energy solutions, including the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Property owners in particular can benefit from these incentives, making the installation of solar carports more affordable and attractive.
Conclusion
As we move towards a greener future, adoption of innovative solutions such as solar carports will play an important role in shaping our sustainable living practices. By installing a solar carport, you’re not just protecting your vehicle, you’re embracing a cleaner, more sustainable way of living.
