What are the advantages of a carport with solar panels?

A carport with solar panels is the smart way to protect your car while generating sustainable energy. Whether you choose a single or double carport: the benefits are great, for your home, your energy bills and the environment.

  • Always a dry car and free electricity: your car is sheltered and meanwhile you generate your own energy to power your electric car or home.
  • Use of glass-glass solar panels: Shift to Solar works exclusively with high-quality integrated panels. They offer the best efficiency and last up to 25 years.
  • Full customisation: choose the material (wood or steel), colour and finish yourself. The carport will be tailored to the style of your home.
  • Sustainable and forward-looking: With a solar carport, you reduce your COโ‚‚ emissions and make the most of solar energy, generated right at home.
  • Ready for expansion: Easily combine the carport with a charging station or home battery for maximum self-sufficiency.

Carport permit needed?

Usually, no permit is needed if your carport is smaller than 30 square metres and no higher than 3 metres. The carport must be placed in the rear yard area of the house. However, a permit is often required for structures in the front yard area.

But make no mistake: a permit process can become quite complex. At some sites it is a formality, but at others additional requirements apply from the zoning plan or the aesthetics committee. Each municipality has its own requirements and procedures, and sometimes additional studies are required - such as flora and fauna surveys or nitrogen calculations.

If you don't know what you're doing, if you don't have the content knowledge and - more importantly - if you don't have the right contacts, it can become a lengthy process with a lot of hassle.

That is why Shift to Solar works with an experienced expert who has already guided dozens of projects and has good lines of communication with local authorities.

  • First consultation (free of charge): we discuss your location, plans and check whether a permit is needed

Frequently asked questions

Find out more about how Shift to Solar works

Is the carport suitable for my electric car?

If you are considering buying a solar carport for your home, it is good to know that the built-in charger is universal. This means it is compatible with any electric car. So, no matter what make or model of electric car you have, you can charge it easily and hassle-free under your own solar carport.

How much space do I need for a carport?

An average car needs a parking space about 2.5 metres wide and 5 metres long. A single carport should therefore have at least these dimensions, but often this is a lot wider. You need to allow for extra space to get in and out easily and to accommodate the carport. The minimum recommended dimensions for a carport are 3 by 6 metres (18 mยฒ). Are you unsure about the possibilities? We will be happy to advise you.
