Carport Solar
Solar canopy structures that cover parking facilities while generating clean energy. Dual-purpose infrastructure that adds value, shades vehicles, and creates EV charging-ready sites.
Parking lots become power stations
Carport solar transforms underused parking areas into productive energy infrastructure — without touching the building itself. Panels are mounted on purpose-built canopy structures, covering cars and generating electricity simultaneously.
Eturn designs carport systems for supermarkets, logistics hubs, office parks, stadiums, and municipalities. Every structure is engineered for local wind and snow loads, and can be pre-wired for EV fast-charging columns.
The only solar solution that also shades your customers
Generate & Protect
Carport panels generate clean electricity above and shelter vehicles below — summer heat, hail, and bird droppings are eliminated. Two benefits from one structure.
Future-Proof for EV
Every carport we build is pre-wired for DC fast-charging infrastructure. As your EV fleet or customer base grows, charging columns can be added at minimal incremental cost.
Works on Any Site
Carport solar is ideal for sites with unsuitable or already-occupied roofs. Open car parks, logistics yards, and retail forecourts are all eligible — any paved or gravel surface.
Visible Sustainability
Highly visible solar canopies communicate environmental commitment to customers and employees. Planning authorities across Europe actively support carport solar applications.
Structures for every parking configuration
Single-Row Canopy
The most common carport configuration — a single span covering one or two rows of parking. Column-free on one side for ease of access. Ideal for supermarkets, hotels, and office parks.
- 4–8m clear height
- Column-free option
- Bitumen or concrete pad
- Wind zone CE certified
Multi-Row & Multi-Span
Larger structures covering multiple parking aisles under a continuous or modular canopy. Designed for logistics centres, stadiums, and large retail sites with hundreds of spaces.
- Unlimited row expansion
- Central gutter drainage
- Lighting integration
- Bifacial panel option
Solar + EV Charging Hub
An integrated carport with built-in DC fast-charging columns powered directly from the solar array and backed by a battery buffer. Charge EVs from sunshine, day and night.
- 22–150 kW DC chargers
- OCPP protocol
- Smart load balancing
- BESS buffer included
From site survey to powered carport
Carport projects require civil, structural, electrical, and grid expertise to run in parallel. Eturn's integrated project management ensures all disciplines are coordinated under one delivery plan.
Site Survey & Structural Assessment
Ground conditions, sub-base type, drainage, column positions, and wind/snow loading are assessed before any design begins.
