The UK government is considering new requirements for outdoor car parks to integrate solar carport canopies, following France's 2023 legislation mandating PV structures on sites with over 80 parking spaces. A public consultation launched in May 2025 is gathering input on feasibility, cost, and energy benefits.

The shift reflects growing interest in transforming open parking areas into clean energy assets. While no regulation has been finalized, the direction is clear—and many in the industry are beginning to prepare.

For developers and commercial property owners, this is a timely opportunity to evaluate infrastructure needs — from power output to structural solutions.

In particular, a well-designed PV carport mounting structure plays a central role in the long-term performance, safety, and visual integration of any solar canopy.

As a supplier of solar carport mounting systems, we support partners across Europe with both standard and project-specific solutions. Our UK-based distributor also provides local coordination and consultation, helping clients align with national standards and site-specific conditions.

Whether or not a legal mandate emerges in the short term, interest in solar carport support structures is accelerating—and readiness today could make all the difference tomorrow.
