An engineered steel carport or canopy with solar panels as the roof, giving shade for your car while generating power for your property, and ready to pair with EV charging.
From $14,900 (Single-bay carport, installed), including GST. Indicative starting price: the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment.
A solar carport does two jobs at once: it shades and protects your vehicle, and its roof generates electricity. It suits properties where the house roof is shaded, too small, heritage-sensitive or poorly oriented, and it is an ideal spot for an EV charger because the car parks directly under its power source. Larger canopies can also cover outdoor living areas, driveways or business parking.
A single-bay solar carport starts from $14,900 installed. This is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment, engineering and any approvals required.
A carport is a building as well as a solar system, so we plan both properly. We check setbacks, drainage, vehicle clearance and how the structure will look from the street, then design the panel layout for good generation. We also talk through the practical details, such as whether you need a fully waterproof roof or a simpler panel roof that gives shade and most rain protection. If you drive an EV or plan to, we can include a smart charger that uses surplus solar, all in one project with one team responsible for the result.
Homes and businesses with limited or unsuitable roof space but room for a carport, especially EV owners.
Approvals: depending on size, location, zoning and whether the site is bushfire-prone or heritage-listed, a carport may be exempt development, complying development or need a development application. We help you work out which applies; approval fees are extra.
Incentives: STCs can reduce the cost of the panels in an eligible grid-connected system. Their value steps down each 1 January, so confirm current values before signing.
Price drivers: the number of bays, span and height, ground conditions and footings, trenching distance, waterproofing, and whether EV charging or a battery is added.
1. Request a site assessment and tell us how you want to use the space.
2. We assess the location, ground and cable route and discuss design options.
3. You receive a concept design and fixed-price quote, including approval requirements.
4. Once you accept, engineering is finalised and council and network approvals are lodged.
5. We install the footings and structure, then the panels and electrical work.
6. The system is tested, commissioned and handed over with monitoring set up.
The price shown is an indicative starting price for a single-bay carport; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment and quote.
