Steel Solar Carports in Wales
Explore steel-framed solar carports with mono-pitch and multi-pitch roof configurations for domestic, commercial and larger parking projects.
A Strong Foundation for Solar Parking
Steel solar carports use a structural steel framework to support a roof incorporating solar photovoltaic panels. The structure provides covered parking while enabling renewable electricity generation above the parking area.
The design of the steel frame, roof configuration and foundations must account for the proposed layout, site conditions and relevant structural requirements.
Designed Around the Project
From individual parking spaces to wider commercial installations, the structural arrangement can be considered according to the available space and intended use.
Mono-Pitch and Multi-Pitch Steel Solar Carports
Different roof configurations can be considered depending on the size and layout of the parking area, solar PV requirements and structural design.
Mono-Pitch Steel Solar Carports
A single-sloping roof design that can provide a straightforward configuration for solar PV panels. Suitability depends on the project dimensions, orientation and structural requirements.
Multi-Pitch Steel Solar Carports
A roof arrangement incorporating multiple pitched sections, which may be considered for wider parking layouts and specific solar panel arrangements.
More Than Just a Steel Frame
A solar carport structure needs to accommodate the solar PV installation as well as the environmental and structural loads relevant to the site.
The final design should take account of wind and snow loads, foundations, vehicle clearances and the overall layout.

Commercial Solar Carports →Steel Solar Carport FAQs
Are steel solar carports suitable for domestic use?
Yes. Steel solar carports can be considered for domestic parking areas where sufficient space and suitable site conditions exist.
What is the difference between mono-pitch and multi-pitch carports?
A mono-pitch roof has a single sloping surface. A multi-pitch roof incorporates more than one pitched section, depending on the design.
Do steel solar carports require foundations?
Steel solar carports normally require suitable foundations designed for the structure, ground conditions and applicable loads.
Can steel solar carports be used for commercial parking?
Yes. Steel solar carport structures can be designed for commercial parking layouts, subject to site conditions, planning and structural requirements.
