Solar Car Port Installation

Client Brief:

Following initial consultations, careful consideration was required to identify a suitable location for a solar installation that would respect the aesthetic and sensitive nature of the site.

The client wanted a solution that would significantly reduce energy costs across a large site, while also complementing the existing environment.

 

Project Design & Final Configuration:

Working in collaboration with a local structural engineer and fabricator, an innovative  90-metre solar carport was designed and constructed along the centre of the existing car park.

This was complemented by additional solar panels installed on a new staff building, maximising on-site generation without compromising the visual integrity of the location.

Final system configuration:

  • 270 × Meyer Burger Glass 380W solar panels (installed across the carport and staff building)
  • SolarEdge 90 kW inverter
  • Export limited to 50 kW in line with grid constraints

Impact & Results:

 

  • Over 65,000 kWh of clean energy generated in the last 12 months
  • Approximately 96% of energy consumed on-site, with just 4% exported
  • Around 25% of total site energy demand now met through solar generation significantly reducing overall energy costs across the site

    This innovative carport solution demonstrates how renewable energy can be seamlessly integrated into sensitive environments, delivering substantial financial and sustainability benefits without compromising site aesthetics.
