Solar Carports
Power Your Fleet
What is a Solar Carport?
Solar carports are ground-mounted canopy structures built over parking spaces, transforming unused areas into high-performing energy-generation assets. Their subtly tilted roofs create the perfect surface for seamless solar panel integration, offering both impressive aesthetics and exceptional functionality. As businesses across the UK look for smarter ways to cut energy costs, solar carports and canopies are becoming increasingly popular for their dual purpose: clean power generation and enhanced site usability.
The angled design provides natural rainwater drainage, with guttering systems that efficiently channel water away. Electricity generated on the canopy roof is delivered straight into your site’s energy supply, helping you reduce grid demand from day one.
Igen provides fully bespoke solar carport solutions, from concept and design through to installation and commissioning. We handle planning applications, grid connection consents, and all project management — giving you a complete turnkey package. Once your system is live, we offer full service, monitoring and maintenance options to ensure long-term performance.
