Solar Carports
Power + shaded parking
System Overview
What Are Solar Car Park Shade Structures?
Solar car park shade structures are elevated solar systems installed over parking areas, combining energy generation with functional vehicle coverage. Designed for commercial and industrial sites, they provide onsite power while improving parking conditions and enabling EV charging integration.
Why Choose Solar Carports?
Solar carports combine energy generation with practical site upgrades, delivering both cost savings and improved user experience. They transform parking areas into productive assets while supporting long-term sustainability and infrastructure goals.
Dual-use infrastructure
Generate power while providing shaded parking.
EV-ready integration
Support chargers powered by onsite solar.
Project Delivery
What’s Involved in Solar Carport Installation?
Solar carport projects require planning around site layout, structural design and electrical integration. TSP Energy manages design, engineering and installation to ensure safe, reliable long-term performance.
Step 1
Site assessment
Evaluate parking layout, usage and available space.
Step 2
Structural design
Engineer carport structures for durability and compliance.
Step 3
Installation
Construct frames and install solar systems with minimal disruption.
Step 4
Commissioning
Connect, test and optimise system performance.
Integrate Solar Carports with Energy Systems
Solar carports can be integrated with broader energy infrastructure to maximise performance, reduce costs and support future energy demand across commercial sites.
EV charging
Power EV chargers directly from solar carport generation.
Battery storage
Store excess energy for use during peak demand periods.

Commercial Solar Carport FAQs
A commercial solar carport is a structure installed over parking areas that supports solar panels while providing shade and weather protection for vehicles. These systems allow businesses to generate renewable electricity without using rooftop space.
Solar carports can be installed in commercial car parks at shopping centres, office buildings, warehouses, industrial facilities, hospitals, schools, and large commercial campuses. Parking areas with consistent sun exposure are ideal for solar carport installations.
Yes. Solar carports can be combined with EV charging infrastructure to provide renewable energy for electric vehicle charging. This allows businesses to power EV chargers using solar generation while supporting the transition to electric transport.
Solar carports allow businesses to install solar without rooftop structural limitations. They also provide additional benefits such as shaded parking, improved customer experience, and the ability to integrate EV charging within parking areas.
Yes. Solar carports can be designed at scale to support significant energy generation. Large parking areas allow businesses to install extensive solar arrays capable of offsetting a substantial portion of site electricity consumption.
