Solar carport
A new energy-generating surface.
A solar carport turns a parking area into a photovoltaic generation surface. You produce your own electricity, protect your vehicle from the weather, and can integrate a charging station powered directly by this generation.
The benefits
What a solar carport genuinely delivers.
Drive on your own energy
The right charging infrastructure allows you to charge your vehicle primarily with locally generated energy.
Maximise an existing space
The same area serves for parking, vehicle protection, and electricity generation.
Reduce your reliance on the grid
The electricity generated can also power your home, be stored in a battery, or fed into the grid.
How it works
From sunshine to your everyday uses.
The electricity generated by the carport is prioritised wherever you need it most.
01
Carport panels
Direct current generated by the carport
02
Inverter
Conversion into alternating current
03
Battery
Stores surplus energy for later
04
Vehicle charging
Prioritises the electricity generated
05
Home
Powers household appliances
06
Grid
Feeds in unused surplus energy
When should you consider a carport?
A complementary solution, not an automatic one.
01
A roof already equipped or limited
Your roof already hosts solar panels, or its surface area and orientation restrict generation.
02
A parking space to optimise
You wish to shelter a parking space while generating electricity.
03
An electric vehicle on the way
An electric vehicle will soon be joining your household.
04
A new home project
You are integrating energy generation right from the design stage of your house and parking space.
Drive on solar power
Charge your car with your own solar generation.
A charging station can be directly integrated into your solar carport. It prioritises the electricity you generate and can be managed to match your production. When your vehicle is not plugged in, this energy remains useful: it powers your home, can be shared with neighbours, stored in a battery, or fed into the grid.
Single configuration
Generate energy over a single parking space.
An ideal solution when space is limited, turning your parking space into a solar generation area.
Sized for one parking space
The structure and photovoltaic surface area are tailored to the available space and your household’s energy needs.
Generation directly useful for your home
The electricity produced can power domestic appliances before surplus energy is fed into the grid.
A system designed to evolve
The installation can anticipate the future addition of a charging station or other electrical equipment.
Double configuration
More surface area to generate more power.
Covering two parking spaces, the carport provides a larger photovoltaic surface while protecting your vehicles.
A more generous solar area
Extending the canopy allows for more modules to be installed, boosting total generation capacity.
Two vehicles protected
The carport creates sheltered parking while giving the space an active energy-generating role.
Tailored to your household’s needs
Generation capacity can be sized taking into account current consumption and future electrical requirements.
Mobility configuration
Your carport generates power, your car charges.
The charging station and solar generation work together to maximise the use of local electricity alongside your home’s other energy demands.
Charging station matched to your vehicle and electrical setup
The power output and station model are selected based on your vehicle, grid connection, and existing installations.
Smart charging based on surplus solar energy
Where the installation allows, charging can be scheduled to prioritise periods of peak carport production.
Grid power on hand whenever required
If solar output falls short, the grid automatically supplements the necessary charging power.

FAQ
Yes. A charging station can be integrated into your carport to prioritise using the electricity you generate locally.
It remains fully useful: it can power your home, be stored in a battery, or be fed into the grid.
In some cases, provided its design and load-bearing capacity allow it. Younergy first assesses the technical suitability of the structure before making any proposal.
This depends on the available surface area, orientation, and the number of panels installed. A tailored assessment provides an accurate estimate of your project’s potential.
No. It is not essential, but it allows you to consume a higher proportion of your own solar power, even when the sun is no longer shining.
This depends on your specific project and its location. Younergy checks the applicable requirements with your local municipality and supports you through the application process.
