We are looking to install a carport to provide additional covered parking at our property. Looking to the near future when we will most likely be driving electric cars, it seems like a good idea to construct a car port that will be able to carry solar panels on in the future. We would like to know the current availability and viability in the UK of installing solar systems to garages or car ports with a view to charging electric cars. We wonder how we compare to other European countries such as Germany who always seem to be ahead of us with these things. Which are the most tried and tested systems and kits for domestic use and have there been any advances in technology and availability?
