What if your car park could do more than just hold vehicles? Imagine transforming everyday outdoor spaces with renewable energy infrastructure. With energy costs rising and sustainability targets looming, organisations across the UK are searching for smart, long-term solutions.
Solar PV panel canopies offer a flexible, future-ready option for councils, developers, and commercial sites looking to save energy, lower emissions, and support electric vehicles. Here at ProStar Energy, we design, install and maintain commercial solar pv canopies. UK customers rely on us for expert advice, quality workmanship, and real return on investment.
Solar PV panel canopies are ground-mounted solar installations built above open spaces. Typically raised on steel frames, these elevated structures hold photovoltaic panels securely while providing shelter underneath. Unlike rooftop panels, solar PV canopies don’t require existing buildings. Instead, they maximise unused ground space - from car parks and walkways to play areas and loading zones.
Common formats include solar PV canopy car parks, playground covers and solar PV panel carports. While they look simple, these installations generate significant amounts of clean electricity and can be integrated with on-site power systems, grid export meters and EV charging canopy solutions. They offer dual functionality: renewable energy generation and sheltered infrastructure.
Whether you're managing a school, a council-owned car park or a logistics hub, solar PV panel canopies bring energy savings, sustainability gains and long-term income to clients spanning a multitude of sectors.
Convert public car parks into energy hubs, reduce grid reliance, and support green energy solutions for councils.
Enhance asset value and future-proof properties with covered solar parking and tenant-friendly upgrades.
Add solar structures for schools that double as covered play spaces and power generation points.
Offer shaded parking while cutting electricity costs and boosting your environmental credentials.
Power fleets with EV charging canopy solutions and protect staff working areas from the elements.
Install modern, shared solar shade structures that lower energy bills and support low-carbon lifestyles.
Use solar to run lights, ticket booths, or even bus shelters - increasing efficiency and reducing overheads.
Solar PV panel canopies offer many benefits, making them a sound investment for property owners across the UK:
These energy-saving installations allow you to monetise previously unused land and future-proof your energy needs - all while contributing to national net-zero targets.
As EV adoption grows, many councils and businesses are feeling the pressure to offer on-site charging. Our solar PV panel canopies can be seamlessly integrated with electric vehicle charge points to create independent, sustainable EV charging canopy solutions.
Whether you're powering a commercial fleet, offering staff incentives, or providing public access, solar-charged EV points reduce strain on the grid and improve resilience. We’ll ensure your system meets DNO (Distribution Network Operator) requirements and comes equipped with smart metering, so you can manage demand and maximise revenue with ease.
