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?

Bicycle shed with solar panels and charging facilities in Heerhugowaard
Shift to Solar realised a sustainable solar bicycle parking facility in Heerhugowaard in July 2025. Equipped with 16 450 Wp solar panels, this 14-metre-wide steel structure not only provides safe and covered parking, but also generates sustainable energy. In addition, four charging boxes have been installed, allowing a total of sixteen electric bicycles to be charged simultaneously. This makes optimal use of the solar power generated. Sustainable mobility and energy generation The 16 solar panels are expected to produce 6,300 kWh of clean energy annually. This results in CO₂ savings of about 1.39 tonnes per year, equivalent to driving a petrol car 9,250 kilometres or planting about 69 trees annually. This combination of energy generation and charging facilities contributes to a future-proof cycling and charging infrastructure for residents and visitors. Need help with your solar solution?

Solar panels and charging poles at campsite Sie Es An in Balkbrug
Shift to Solar realised a renewable energy solution at Camping Sie Es An in Balkbrug at the beginning of June 2025. Forty-nine 450 Wp solar panels were installed on the flat roof of one of the buildings. This was followed later in the month by the installation of six charging poles on the site. The charging posts are all linked to a back office system. As a result, charging is automatically charged on a business basis, making management for the campsite simple and efficient. Sustainable energy and smart mobility The 49 solar panels are expected to generate 19,300 kWh per year. This will result in CO₂ savings of 4.25 tonnes per year. That is equivalent to about 28,300 kilometres of driving a petrol car or the annual planting of about 212 trees. Thanks to the combination of solar energy and charging facilities, Camping Sie Es An is taking a big step towards a future-proof and sustainable holiday park. 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?
