Energy is becoming more and more expensive. More and more people are therefore choosing not only to install a carport, but also to make extra use of this space with solar panels. The energy generated will be enough to power part or even the entire household.

Without a permit, the carport may not exceed 3 metres in height. The exact rules and conditions may vary from one municipality to another. Therefore, it is always advisable to check with your local municipality about the specific rules and conditions for building a carport without a permit.
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 m²). Are you unsure about the possibilities? We will be happy to advise you.
The lifespan of a carport, whether it is made of wood or steel, depends on several factors. A well-maintained carport can last 20 to 40 years or more. Regular painting or staining and treating the wood against insects and fungus can extend its lifespan. On average, a steel carport lasts longer than a wooden one.
Carports can be made of different materials, including wood, metal, aluminium and plastic. At Shift to Solar, you can choose between wood and steel. Depending on the material you choose, there are differences in the cost, lifespan and look of the carports. Take contact with us for more information and advice.
