Solar car park canopies use steel-framed structures to support solar photovoltaic panels above vehicle parking bays. They provide sheltered parking while allowing the available space to contribute to electricity generation.
For organisations with suitable car parks, solar canopies offer an alternative or addition to rooftop solar PV installations.
