Sustainable, Accessible Solar carport solutions

Our Approach

As a specialist with decades of experience installing large-scale canopy structures  in the public sector, Solspan is a trusted delivery partner for local authorities, the NHS, schools and colleges. Our approach is built on three pillars:

Cost-effective: our solar carport solutions are value-engineered to maximise your solar output and minimise initial outlay, through innovations such as low-cost foundations whilst maintaining structural integrity. Our years of contracting experience mean that we're able to manage your project on your behalf without any middle parties.

Heritage: we are part of Kensington Systems and have been designing and installing large, complex external structures in sensitive, high-traffic locations for more than a decade. From schools and hospitals to public spaces, our public sector clients trust us to get the job done in environments where safety and minimal operational disruption are paramount.

Design: Quality, sustainability and ease-of-use are important to us, which is why we design our carports to avoid losing parking spaces and maximise accessibility for car users; we offer both functional steel designs and more aesthetic, sustainable timber options.

Ideal for rural settings, eco-conscious projects in highly visible locations, and any site where aesthetics and sustainability matter.

Aluminium Solar Carports

Our aluminium carports offer a more eco-friendly, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel.

With the option to choose surface-mounted ballast foundations, they are perfect for coastal locations or situations where underground foundations are not possible.
