About Solspan
As one of the UK’s leading specialists in solar carport installations, our mission is to provide high-quality, long-lasting solar shelter solutions for businesses, manufacturers, and public sector organisations. Our solutions not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also deliver strong financial returns by turning underutilised parking spaces into sources of clean energy.
Solspan was founded in 2024 with the aim of changing the way businesses approach renewable energy adoption. With over a decade of experience in external structures and large-scale canopy installations, we saw an opportunity to help companies achieve their Net Zero goals.
One of our initial challenges was navigating complex regulations, which often delayed the deployment of solar infrastructure. Fortunately, recent regulatory changes have streamlined this process, enabling smoother project approvals and wider adoption of solar technology.
Currently, a key challenge lies in the limited grid capacity in certain regions, which is making it harder to secure permission for new solar installations. To overcome this, battery storage provides businesses with greater energy independence and control, ensuring that capacity constraints do not hinder their renewable energy goals.
We offer comprehensive project management, guiding clients through every stage – from initial design to final commissioning. By streamlining the process and minimising disruptions, we help businesses overcome obstacles and successfully implement solar solutions.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our solar carports play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting businesses in their transition to renewable energy. By enabling on-site solar power generation, we help companies cut their reliance on fossil fuels and lower their carbon footprint.
We are proud to have achieved Planet Mark Business Certification, which underscores our commitment to minimising our impact on the environment. Unlike many competitors that source materials from the Far East, we exclusively work with European manufacturers, guaranteeing not only superior product quality and longevity but also reducing transportation-related emissions.
Beyond generating clean energy, our solar carports support the growing demand for electric vehicles (EV) by integrating EV charging stations – enabling businesses to offer sustainable charging solutions for their employees and customers, further reducing their overall emissions.
Our solar carports cater to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, retail, distribution, transport, and the public sector. Whether businesses need to offset rising energy costs, reduce carbon emissions, or generate additional revenue through EV charging, our customisable solar carport solutions can meet their diverse needs.
As the UK transitions towards renewable energy, we are committed to playing a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future. The establishment of our French office in Paris has strengthened our ability to serve both the French and wider European market, which continue to lead the way in solar adoption.
By providing businesses with access to innovative, high-efficiency solar solutions, we empower them to achieve their net-zero targets, reduce operational costs, and contribute to a cleaner, greener future.
