Steel carport construction in Ouddorp
A robust steel carport construction was installed in Ouddorp, with a durable finish in a RAL colour of your choice. The structure stands on a modular screw foundation, so it is firmly anchored yet can be placed with minimal impact on the ground. Around the pillars, the pavement is neatly paved for a finished look. The carport is constructed from prefabricated steel trusses with 250 × 250 × 10 mm tubes, 400 × 400 × 25 mm base plates and six 200 × 2.5 mm multibeams with a span of 7.2 metres. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and a future-proof design, the structure is suitable for long-term use and can be extended with solar panels or charging facilities if necessary. Benefits of this project Neat finish: paving around pillars, for a sleek result. Durable finish: powder coated in your choice of RAL colour for protection and appearance. Strong construction: prefabricated steel trusses and multibeams with large span. Solid foundation: modular screw foundation system for stable placement and flexibility.| Ouddorp, South Holland | |

Solar carport for apartment complex in Dongen
Shift to Solar has realised two steel Solar carports at the construction site of Bouwbedrijf van Grunsven in Dongen. The carports have a width of 14 and 20 metres respectively and offer sustainable roofing and energy generation in one place. The structures are fitted with a total of 87 high-quality solar panels of 450 Wp each. These provide enough sustainable electricity annually to cover a substantial part of the energy needs on the construction site, with a substantial saving on CO₂ emissions. The robust steel construction and the integration of solar panels make this solution both practical and future-proof. Benefits of this project Need help with your solar solution?

Mobile steel carport for Ministry of Defence Naval Base Den Helder
In January 2025, in collaboration with metalworking company Nijenkamp, we realised a mobile steel carport at the Defence site Marinehaven in Den Helder. Thanks to its flexible design, no permit is needed, making this solution immediately applicable. Flexible and sustainable energy solution The solar carport is equipped with four heavy-duty castors, making it easy to move. The roof is finished with trapezoidal profiles, which ensure a waterproof construction and protection against weather conditions. The 9 integrated 440 Wp solar panels generate renewable energy, which is used to produce hydrogen. Sustainable impact Thanks to this installation, 1.35 tonnes of CO₂ will be saved annually. This is equivalent to: 3,366 kWh expected annual energy production, contributing to the sustainability of Defence. Advantages of this project: ✔ Mobile construction - easily movable, no permit required✔ Weatherproof finish - sheet piling profiles provide protection✔ Sustainable energy generation - supports hydrogen production✔ CO₂ savings - contributes to the energy transition Curious about what a solar carport could mean for your project?

Solar carport for apartment complex in Strijen
Shift to Solar has realised a sustainable solution for a site where flats are being built. Here, a custom-made solar carport was installed, suitable for 7 parking spaces. The carport, with a width of almost 20 metres, accommodates 51 420 Wp glass-glass solar panels, which are expected to generate 19.86 MWh of energy annually. This will contribute to saving 9.94 tonnes of CO₂, equivalent to planting 456 trees annually. Smart energy solution for limited roof space The carport is made of powder-coated steel in RAL 1035 Gloss colour and was installed on a foundation prepared by the contractor, P.&G. Hooghwerff, was prepared. This added extra capacity to the PV system, an ideal solution for locations where roof space is in short supply. Thanks to this installation, Shift to Solar is contributing to making the apartment complex more sustainable and meeting CO₂ reduction targets.
