An NRG Solar Carport or Patio is an economical ground mounted system that does three jobs in one. It provides protection from the sun, turns solar energy into electricity and pays for itself over time in the form of energy savings.
NRG Solar Carport is an attractive detached structure that provides shade, shelter and protection for car parking or outdoor covered activities. Solar panels on the carport roof are connected to a standalone solar inverter that generates free, green solar power. With the optional addition of an electrical vehicle (EV) charger and/or solar battery, you have a complete, future-proofed solution for EV parking and recharging.
Even if you don’t own an electric vehicle, there are many good reasons to invest in a solar patio. A solar patio provides valuable shade and protection from the elements for outdoor entertaining and many other uses. Plus, the electricity it generates means that your new patio will pay itself off over time as you utilise free solar power to run your appliances, tools and other equipment.
Our internationally patented NRG Solar Carport & Patio is a versatile solar solution designed to meet the needs of South Australian homes and businesses.
Does this sound like you?
A customised solution with single and double bay options, offering 4 to 8 kW of solar power. Silver anodized and black anodized options are available.
An anodized aluminium frame ensures that your solar carport and patio withstands Australia’s harsh weather conditions.
With solar panels, an inverter, EV charger and optional battery, your solar carport becomes an all-in-one, day-night EV charging station.
Protect your electric vehicle or extend your home’s covered outdoor space while producing free solar power for years to come.
Who would benefit from a solar panel carport or patio? Some homeowners discover that they have insufficient space or an unsuitable roof for rooftop solar. Others may be seeking ways to expand their existing solar capacity. Many businesses would benefit from covered outdoor parking, extra covered outdoor work areas and from on-site EV charging.
A solar panel carport or patio is an excellent solution because it provides shade and protection, while paying for itself in the form of free electricity. In addition, we can fully customise the design to meet your size requirements and other needs.
Add a standalone inverter for additional solar PV capacity for your household or business to enjoy. You can also add the new system to your Solar Analytics app to simultaneously manage both systems at once.
Buying an electric car is an excellent investment in sustainable transport. EV owners save money on petrol and reduce their carbon footprint–even more so when they utilise solar power for recharging.
But many people are put off buying an electric vehicle because they don’t have an appropriate garage or carport where they can store and recharge the car. Our solar panel carport has these potential EV owners in mind.
Add an EV charger and battery and you have a complete parking and charging solution–one that protects your car and drives your EV investment even further.

Installation factors, such as integration with an existing PV solar system, may also affect pricing.

Your NRG Solar Carport & Patio is designed to stand the test of time and produce clean, green energy for many years to come. For your peace of mind, the structural frame comes with a 10-year warranty and the solar products you select come with their own industry-leading warranties.
We use only the highest quality components, such as WINAICO panels (2-year all-risk insurance policy and 25-year performance and product warranty), Fronius inverters (#1 inverter on the market) and Clenergy racking (best-in-class mounting solutions).
Existing carports, patios and pergolas are often not suitable for the addition of solar panels without significant structural changes. And because electricity is involved, it is vitally important that your solar PV system complies with Australian safety standards.
NRG Solar Carports & Patios are specifically designed to be safely fitted with solar panels and optional extras, such as EV chargers, and our installers are fully licensed solar electricians.
