Solar Parking Structures for Newport Properties
Newport has a substantial mix of industrial premises, logistics facilities, business parks and residential neighbourhoods. These different property types create a range of potential applications for solar-covered parking.
For businesses with dedicated outdoor parking, a solar carport can provide vehicle shelter while creating roof space for solar PV panels.
From a workplace near Celtic Springs to an industrial property around Corporation Road or a larger commercial site near Newport Docks, the appropriate design will depend on the individual parking area.
Parking Space with a Second Purpose
A suitable solar carport allows existing parking space to be considered for renewable electricity generation without relying solely on available building roof space.

For sites with several parking bays, a multi-bay solar canopy can be considered as part of a wider parking and energy strategy.
These projects need to account for vehicle movement, structural supports, ground conditions and the proposed solar PV and electrical systems.
