Wooden Solar carport for 6 parking spaces in IJmuiden
Shift to Solar has realised a sustainable wooden Solar carport in IJmuiden, suitable for six parking spaces. The structure consists of high-quality wood with mortise-and-tenon joints and is fitted with 45 glass-glass solar panels of Tier 1 quality. These panels have an output of 440 Wp each and offer long-term performance thanks to their low degradation and extended warranty. The installation is fully matched to the carport and comes fully assembled, including cabling between the panels and the inverter. Remote monitoring ensures that performance can be tracked and action taken where necessary. The combination of high-quality materials and a well-thought-out design makes this Solarcarport a future-proof solution that combines sustainable energy generation with practical functionality.

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?

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?
