Potential Locations for Solar Carports

This dataset supports the identification and evaluation of existing car parks that may be suitable for the installation of solar carports which are structures that both provide sheltered parking and generate renewable electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. With increasing demand for clean energy solutions that make efficient use of existing infrastructure, solar carports present a compelling opportunity for local authorities, developers, and commercial site owners to contribute to net zero targets without requiring additional land.
