In today’s world, businesses are seeking innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint while increasing energy efficiency. One of the most effective solutions? Commercial solar carports. At Lectogic, we specialize in offering solar carports that provide shelter for vehicles while generating clean, renewable energy. This dual-function steel structure not only protects vehicles but also turns sunlight into free electricity, which can be used on-site or to charge electric vehicles (EVs).
What is a Solar Carport?
A solar carport is much more than a simple vehicle shelter. It’s a multifunctional, independent steel structure designed to blend seamlessly with any parking environment. Solar carports generate solar energy by harnessing the sun’s power through photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on the roof. This electricity can power on-site operations or be used to charge a fleet of electric vehicles.
Besides energy production, solar carports can be customized with rainwater harvesting gutters, branding options, and even serve as revenue generators through EV charging stations and advertising opportunities. For UK businesses, this represents not only an environmentally-friendly choice but also a way to increase property value.
EV Charging and Solar Carports for Businesses
Lectogic offers expert design, installation, and maintenance services for commercial solar carports across the UK. These structures are ideal for companies looking to embrace green energy without the limitations of roof space. Solar carports can complement roof-mounted solar PV systems, especially for businesses whose rooftops are obstructed by vents or skylights.
By installing solar carports, businesses can expand their solar energy capacity, making them perfect for charging electric vehicle fleets. As EV adoption grows, this investment can further enhance sustainability efforts and cut operational costs.
Leveraging the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS)
Through the UK government’s Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), businesses can offset the costs of installing EV charge points. This program, administered by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), offers financial support to companies, charities, and public sector organizations across the UK.
At Lectogic, we ensure that all installations comply with the scheme’s requirements, giving our clients access to the benefits of WCS. By utilizing this program, businesses can significantly reduce their EV charging infrastructure costs while making a meaningful contribution to reducing carbon emissions.
