Yes, it is beneficial to add commercial charging stations to your solar car park, though it is not a requirement. The addition of an EV charging station can be attractive to both your employees and your customers. There are more and more electric cars on the road each year. Having a place to charge them can be an added bonus for employees and customers. Learn more about commercial electric car chargers.
Generally speaking, you do not need to secure planning permission for solar panels for your solar car park. However, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local planning authority. Should planning permission be needed for your car park solar canopies, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
Solar car parks protect your business from rising energy costs because you are generating your own electricity, which means that your building is less reliant on grid power. Your building is then protected from fluctuating energy prices. Energy from commercial solar carports offers stable, predictable costs for 25+ years, giving you better control over the operational expenses of your facility.
Building a solar car park can be scheduled to minimise disruption to your customers and employees. The length of installation time depends on the size of the area, and will be communicated with you. It will be managed around your routines to ensure minimal impact on your business.
Commercial solar carports are steel structures placed in car parks. They make the most of often underused spaces by generating solar energy and provide a shaded area for cars. This will create a new revenue stream for your business, reduce energy costs, lower the carbon footprint of your business, improve brand perception to the growing eco-conscious population and help create an opportunity to offer EV charging to your employees and customers.
You may or may not need planning permission for your solar panels or commercial battery storage. There are many factors to consider. This includes the size and scale, aesthetic impact, structural safety and whether or not your building is listed. Should planning permission for your solar panels and battery storage be needed, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
