Southern Oak introduces the Heritage Solar Series: a new generation of oak-framed carports featuring a fully integrated solar glass roof. Designed to be beautiful, functional and highly efficient, this range blends handcrafted oak structures with advanced renewable technology to create an architectural feature that powers your home for decades.
Whether you are seeking a single bay or a double bay option, each model in the Heritage Solar Series offers exceptional energy performance wrapped in timeless oak design.
The Technology Behind the Heritage solar series
At the heart of every Heritage Solar structure is a premium photovoltaic glass roof. Unlike traditional solar panels, this innovative glass forms the entire roof surface, generating clean energy while maintaining a seamless, contemporary appearance.
Features:
- Semi-transparent laminated PV glass that lets natural light through
- Completely flat, seamless surface for maximum solar efficiency
- No debris buildup, pooling or streaking
- Fully concealed cabling for safety and a clean finish
- Long-term waterproofing with no drips or leaks
- Fire Class A rated glass with exceptional impact resistance
- Certified for overhead glazing and compliant with UK safety standards
- 30-year product and performance warranty on the glass
With the Heritage Solar Series, the technology doesn’t sit on top of the building — it becomes part of the building.
Single Bay Oak Carport with Solar Glass Roof
Heritage Solar One is a beautifully crafted single bay oak carport designed with a fully integrated solar roof that produces approximately 4.1 kWp of clean, renewable energy. This level of output is often enough to support the energy needs of most UK households.
The semi-transparent nature of the glass allows around 10 percent of light through, creating a bright and comfortable environment beneath the structure while still delivering powerful energy generation.
Features:
- Three high-performance solar glass modules
- Fully waterproof roofing system
- High UV protection to minimise long-term paintwork fading
- Concealed electrical housing for a tamper-resistant design

- Ideal for home energy offset or pairing with a battery storage system
A refined balance of sustainability, practicality and oak craftsmanship.
Double Bay Oak Carport with Solar Glass Roof
Heritage Solar Two offers the same timeless oak framework with increased space and double
the solar capability. Using five solar glass modules, this model generates around 6.8 kWp,
making it suitable for larger homes, EV charging or combined home-and-vehicle energy use.
With its wider span and enhanced capacity, Heritage Solar Two provides impressive
performance without compromising on aesthetics.
