Solar carports are transforming how Irish homeowners and businesses use space, generate power, and future-proof their properties. At EnergyServ, we offer premium solar carport solutions tailored to the Irish climate, maximising energy generation while providing covered parking that blends functionality with sustainability.
Why Choose Solar Carports in Ireland?
Solar carports deliver dual benefits: protection for vehicles and on-site solar energy generation. Unlike traditional rooftop solar panels, carports make use of unused driveway or parking lot space, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications.
Key Benefits of Our Solar Carports

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission?
In most residential cases, planning permission is not required for solar installations under 40m². For commercial installations, we guide you through the planning process if needed.
What maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance is needed. Our structures are weather-resistant and designed for longevity. We offer annual inspections and cleaning packages.
How much power will I generate?
This depends on system size and orientation. A standard residential carport can generate up to 5,000 kWh annually — enough to cover a significant portion of a household’s electricity use.
