Know-how
Transport and logistics are at the forefront of the electrification process.
For most fleet operators, electrification is already a present priority, not a future ambition. It is an active programme with delivery timelines, capital budgets, and public commitments attached to it. The infrastructure to support it has to be built now, in operational environments that cannot be taken out of service.
On-site solar generation changes the economics of EV charging at scale. Rather than drawing expensive grid electricity to charge your fleet, you generate it where you need it. Commercial solar logistics features solar canopy structures for transport hubs that provide the generating capacity. The electrical integration provides the charging infrastructure. One investment, one contract, one outcome.
Fleet electrification pressure
Government targets and operator commitments are driving accelerated EV fleet adoption. The charging infrastructure has to keep pace. EV fleet charging solar canopies are the solution.
Net Zero strategy
Transport operators face some of the highest Scope 1 emission challenges in any sector. On-site renewables reduce the indirect emissions from depot energy use.
Operational continuity
Transport depots and hubs operate continuously. Any infrastructure project has to be delivered without disrupting fleet operations.
Grid capacity and cost
High-power EV charging draws significantly from the grid. On-site generation reduces both costs and grid reinforcement risk.
What a solar canopy delivers for transport and logistics.
01
On-site power for EV fleet charging
Solar canopies generate electricity directly where your fleet charges. That reduces your grid draw, cuts your charging costs, and insulates your operation from grid price volatility. We design the panel layout and electrical integration together, not as separate commercial solar packages bolted together after the fact.
02
Off-grid and grid-independent capability
For sites with constrained grid connections, or where grid reinforcement costs are prohibitive, we can deliver off-grid solar infrastructure solutions that remove the dependency entirely. That can materially reduce capital expenditure and eliminate the DNO risk factor on complex sites.
03
Phased delivery in operational environments
Transport depots and public transport hubs do not stop for construction. We phase every delivery to maintain operational continuity throughout the installation with clear segregation of works and close coordination with your site management team.
04
Scalable infrastructure for future fleet growth
The canopy infrastructure we install is designed to scale. Additional charge points, increased panel capacity, battery storage integration, all of these can be added as your fleet grows without a second round of major civils.
Recognised for sustainable transport infrastructure.
We were awarded the Sustainable Transport Project of the Year 2023 by the Institute of Highway Engineers for delivering off-grid energy infrastructure at Telford Bus Station for a major UK transport authority. The project demonstrated that decentralised energy systems can reduce reliance on the grid, lower capital costs and provide a scalable model for transport electrification.
