These commercial solar PV case studies show what a car-park canopy project actually looks like on paper: the system size a given car park supports, the capital cost, the annual generation, the £-saving at current commercial tariffs, and the payback with the Annual Investment Allowance applied. Each is a sector-representative UK scenario built with the same PVSyst yield modelling and 25-year DCF we run on every real feasibility study — so the numbers transfer directly to sites like yours.
Use them alongside the solar canopy cost guide to benchmark your own car park, or see how the structures behind these numbers work in the solar panel canopy guide and car park solar canopies guide.
