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.    ## Our Product Range Discover our product range, from large cantilever [steel](https://solspan.uk/steel-solar-carports) designs to stunning [timber](https://solspan.uk/timber-solar-carports) and flexible [aluminium](https://solspan.uk/aluminium-solar-carports-solspan). ![Mid Kent College Complete EDITED LS](https://solspan.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Mid%20Kent%20College%20Complete%20EDITED%20LS.jpg?width=901&height=564&name=Mid%20Kent%20College%20Complete%20EDITED%20LS.jpg) ### Steel Solar Carports Solspan’s steel carport systems are the go-to choice for large-scale commercial or public sector applications.
