Smartports product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Smartports designs, manufactures, finances, installs, and operates modular solar carport systems (Pac and Cap models) that integrate photovoltaic panels, EV charging points, and battery storage to convert existing parking areas into local energy hubs. The offering is delivered as a full-service lease where Smartports funds the majority of the capital investment, manages permits, installation, operations, and maintenance, and the property owner pays a small upfront fee. Supplementary products include the Smart Battery, an energy storage solution built in Sweden using reused automotive batteries.
Product overview
Smartports offers a modular energy infrastructure system that transforms parking areas into multifunctional energy hubs. The core Smartports system combines four integrated components: solar roofs (Pac/Cap modules with 640W panels producing 3,200W per parking space), EV charging stations, battery storage, and intelligent energy management. The Pac and Cap are carport solutions offering solar generation with integrated charging, while the Smart Battery (launched October 2025) provides supplementary energy storage using reused automotive batteries. Together, these products create scalable energy ecosystems that enable property owners to generate revenue from existing parking infrastructure while supporting the green transition.

Smartports competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Beam Global: US-based manufacturer of integrated solar-powered EV charging carports and battery storage products. Closest direct global comparable: combines solar canopies, EV charging, and energy storage into a single product, similar in concept to Smartports' Cap and Pac systems.
- Envision Solar International: Pioneer in solar carport and EV charging integrated systems, now part of Beam Global. Directly comparable product offering (solar canopies with integrated EV charging and storage) and similar target customer base of commercial property owners and municipalities.
- Suntree: Netherlands-based developer of solar carport and integrated EV charging solutions for European commercial parking estates. Closest European direct peer in product category and target segment (property owners, municipalities).
Emerging players
- SunRoof: Sweden- and Poland-based solar roof and energy-as-a-service company. Comparable on the integrated solar + storage / SaaS energy offering for European property owners, though focused on rooftops rather than parking carports.
- PowerBank Corp: Canada-based developer of solar carport and battery storage projects, including for EV charging. Comparable product concept (solar carports + storage + EV charging) and similar early-stage commercial rollout profile, but operating primarily in North America.
Regional players
- Soltech Energy: Sweden-based solar energy installer and developer serving commercial and residential customers. Competes for the same Swedish property owner / real estate customer base and shares a focus on integrated solar solutions.
- Svea Solar: One of the largest solar energy installers in the Nordics, offering solar PV and battery storage to commercial and residential customers. Competes for the same Swedish and Nordic real estate customers and increasingly in integrated storage.
Broad incumbents
- Allego: Pan-European public EV charging network operator and charging solutions provider. Comparable through its focus on commercial-site EV charging rollout, though Allego is a charging network incumbent rather than a solar carport specialist.
- ChargePoint: Global EV charging network and CPMS provider. Comparable through its CPMS layer and commercial property charging deployments, though it is a software / charging incumbent rather than a solar + storage carport manufacturer.
Others
- GreenFlux: European EV charging management software platform. Adjacent / enabling peer: Smartports' Monta integration shows the company relies on third-party CPMS providers like GreenFlux or Monta to manage its chargers.
