Solar carports

Sustainable energy meets smart infrastructure.

At Kimpton, we supply and install solar carports – a smart solution that transforms car parks into energy-generating assets. These overhead canopies are fitted with solar panels that produce clean, renewable electricity with the additional benefit of creating covered parking for vehicles and protection from weather extremes for staff and visitors.

Solar carports are ideal for commercial premises, business parks, retail centres, public buildings and industrial estates. By making efficient use of existing space, they offer a dual-purpose approach to sustainability – supporting energy savings and environmental targets without the need for rooftop or ground-mounted arrays.

Our installation teams ensure every system is completed to the highest standards, are MCS-certified to be eligible for incentives like SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) and are compliant with all UK regulations and electrical safety requirements.

Benefits of Solar Carports

  • Generate renewable electricity from new or existing parking spaces
  • Support on-site green energy demand and reduce grid reliance
  • Enable EV charging infrastructure powered by solar
  • Contribute to carbon reduction and net-zero goals
  • Offer shade and weather protection for vehicles and users
  • Enhance the value and green credentials of your site

Solar carports can also be integrated with battery storage and smart energy systems, helping to manage energy more efficiently and reduce peak demand charges. They also offer some mitigation for the potential for future ‘brown-outs’ and enable more consistently priced future energy supply.

Whether you’re looking to reduce operational costs, meet sustainability commitments or improve your site’s infrastructure, solar carports offer a practical, visible way to invest in renewable energy.

At Kimpton, our expertise in low-carbon technologies and electrical installation ensures your system is delivered with safety, efficiency and long-term performance in mind.
