Sustainable solar veranda for football club in Zwolle

In collaboration with Veldman Techniek, we installed a durable steel solar veranda at a football club in Zwolle. The canopy is 16 metres wide and fitted with 42 solar panels, which means it generates green energy as well as shelter for spectators. This allows visitors to comfortably enjoy matches on the pitch, while the club actively contributes to a more sustainable future. Environmental gain The expected annual production of this installation is 15,449 kWh, resulting in COโ‚‚ savings of 6.3 tonnes per year. For comparison: Benefits of this project โœ” Strong steel construction - provides a robust and durable canopyโœ” Sustainable energy production - 42 solar panels generate 15,449 kWh annuallyโœ” Spectator comfort - covered seating for a pleasant viewing experienceโœ” Significant COโ‚‚ reduction - 6.3 tonnes less COโ‚‚ emissions per year Curious about the possibilities for your project? Feel free to contact us! Together, we will look at the best sustainable solution for your situation.

Sturdy and durable carport at cleaning company Nivo in Leeuwarden

In collaboration with Veldman Techniek, we built a sturdy and durable solar carport at Nivo in Leeuwarden. The structure is made of galvanised steel and has a free overhang of no less than 20.5 metres. On top of the carport are 54 solar panels (420 Wp per panel), providing an expected annual production of 19,278 kWh. With this energy, Nivo not only meets part of its own power needs, but also actively contributes to a greener future. Sustainable and practical solution The carport provides space for eight parking spaces, one of which is equipped with a charging station for electric vehicles. In this way, functionality and sustainability are perfectly combined. Environmental gains With this installation, Nivo saves 7.7 tonnes of COโ‚‚ annually. That amounts to: Benefits of this project โœ” Solid construction - galvanised steel with a free overhang of 20.5 metresโœ” Sustainable energy generation - 54 solar panels (420 Wp) for an expected production of 19.278 kWhโœ” Practical use - eight covered parking spaces, including one with charging station for electric vehiclesโœ” Significant COโ‚‚ savings - 7.7 tonnes of COโ‚‚ per year, comparable to 385 trees or 42,800 km of driving a petrol car Curious about what a solar carport could mean for your project?

Three wooden solar carports in Wijthmen

In early 2025, we completed a renewable energy project in Wijthmen (Overijssel) for two residents of a courtyard with a shared parking space. This involved the installation of three wooden solar carports, which together cover six parking spaces. Sustainable energy solution The carports are equipped with 45 solar panels, which the residents use to generate their own electricity. To make optimal use of this energy, both households use a SolarEdge home battery (9.2 kWh). This allows them to store some of the generated energy for later use. In addition, one of the residents has a SolarEdge EV charger, so the solar power can be used directly for charging an electric car. Sustainable impact This installation provides an expected annual production of 17,617.5 kWh, contributing to a substantial carbon reduction. The emissions saved are estimated at 7.05 tonnes of COโ‚‚ per year. For comparison: Advantages of this project โœ” Wooden construction - fits into the green surroundings of the courtyardโœ” Own energy storage - thanks to a home battery optimal use of solar energyโœ” Ready for e-mobility - with an integrated EV charger for direct charging of an electric carโœ” COโ‚‚ savings - contributes to the energy transition and reduces emissions Curious what a solar carport can mean for your project?

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 COโ‚‚ 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: โœ” Mobile construction - easily movable, no permit requiredโœ” Weatherproof finish - sheet piling profiles provide protectionโœ” Sustainable energy generation - supports hydrogen productionโœ” COโ‚‚ savings - contributes to the energy transition Curious about what a solar carport could mean for your project?

Solar bicycle parking in Ghent

Shift to Solar has realised an innovative and sustainable solution on the outskirts of Ghent: a steel bicycle shed with integrated bicycle rack and solar panels. This installation not only provides safe storage for bicycles, but also generates and stores sustainable energy for optimal use. Smart energy solution for bicycle infrastructure On the roof of the solar bicycle shed are 20 powerful 450 Wp solar panels, which are expected to generate 8,100 kWh of clean energy annually. The generated energy is used directly thanks to a GoodWe 6 kW hybrid inverter and a 6.6 kW GoodWe Lynx Home battery, enabling sustainable storage and smart energy management. This makes it not only an environmentally friendly, but also an efficient solution for energy generation and use. Thanks to this innovative installation, annual savings of 3.2 to 3.7 tonnes of COโ‚‚ are achieved. This equates to: Maximum space utilisation and sustainable impact The steel construction provides robust and weatherproof protection for bikes, while the integrated solar system contributes to the environment's COโ‚‚ reduction targets. This makes the solar bicycle shelter an ideal solution for locations where sustainability and space efficiency go hand in hand. Benefits of this project: โœ” Sustainable energy solution for cyclists and businessesโœ” Optimal use of space with

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 COโ‚‚, 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 COโ‚‚ reduction targets.
