Solar Carports: Powering Your Parking, Protecting Your Assets
Transform your car parks from simple parking areas into powerful renewable energy generating assets. Saber Renewable Energy designs and delivers bespoke solar carport solutions that not only provide shelter for vehicles but also generate clean electricity, reduce operational costs, enhance your brand’s sustainability image, and future-proof your site for the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).
How Solar Carports Work & Why They’re Gaining Traction
Solar carports are intelligently designed canopy structures with integrated Solar PV panels built over parking spaces. These systems function like standard solar installations, converting sunlight into electricity, but with the added benefits of optimising land use and providing vehicle protection.
Why Solar Carports Are Becoming Essential for UK Businesses
With the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) actively exploring ways to increase their adoption, potentially leading to mandates similar to those in France, solar carports are becoming a key strategic consideration for businesses. They offer a practical way to boost on-site generation, especially for sites where rooftop space is limited or already utilised.

Multiple Benefits of Investing in Solar Carports
Generate Clean, Low-Cost Energy
Significantly reduce your electricity bills by generating renewable power on-site, offsetting consumption and potentially exporting surplus to the grid.
Maximise Existing Land Use
Turn parking areas into dual-purpose assets without compromising parking capacity, making efficient use of your existing footprint.
Enhance Customer & Staff Experience
Solar Carports provide sheltered parking, protecting vehicles from rain, snow, hail, and direct sun, improving satisfaction and comfort.
Boost Sustainability & Brand Image
Visibly demonstrate your commitment to renewable energy and innovative sustainability practices, enhancing your corporate reputation.
Potential Revenue Generation
Explore opportunities to sell electricity into the grid from the Solar Carport's power generated or offer paid EV charging services.
Reduced Building Heat & Cooling Costs
Shading provided by solar carports can help lower the ambient temperature around nearby buildings from tarmac reflection, potentially reducing air conditioning loads.
Low Maintenance & Durable
Solar carport structures are designed for longevity and require relatively low maintenance, offering a cost-effective long-term investment.
