Is it beneficial to add a commercial charging station to the solar car park?
Yes, it is beneficial to add commercial charging stations to your solar car park, though it is not a requirement. The addition of an EV charging station can be attractive to both your employees and your customers. There are more and more electric cars on the road each year. Having a place to charge them can be an added bonus for employees and customers. Learn more about commercial electric car chargers.
Do solar panels need planning permission for a solar car park?
Generally speaking, you do not need to secure planning permission for solar panels for your solar car park. However, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local planning authority. Should planning permission be needed for your car park solar canopies, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
How do solar car parks protect my business from rising energy costs?
Solar car parks protect your business from rising energy costs because you are generating your own electricity, which means that your building is less reliant on grid power. Your building is then protected from fluctuating energy prices. Energy from commercial solar carports offers stable, predictable costs for 25+ years, giving you better control over the operational expenses of your facility.
Will it be disruptive to my business to install car park solar panels?
Building a solar car park can be scheduled to minimise disruption to your customers and employees. The length of installation time depends on the size of the area, and will be communicated with you. It will be managed around your routines to ensure minimal impact on your business.
What are commercial solar carports?
Commercial solar carports are steel structures placed in car parks. They make the most of often underused spaces by generating solar energy and provide a shaded area for cars. This will create a new revenue stream for your business, reduce energy costs, lower the carbon footprint of your business, improve brand perception to the growing eco-conscious population and help create an opportunity to offer EV charging to your employees and customers.
