History : 2012 - The Beginnings of Bluetop

Every entrepreneurial journey begins with an idea, challenge, or problem. Bluetop’s founder, Ole Gregersen, encountered a unique challenge: finding the ideal shading structure for his Skanderborg terrace. Unable to find a solution on the market, he designed and built the shading structure himself, transforming a personal project into a professional venture.

After the success of his own creation, Ole expanded his vision and began producing steel and glass shading structures for other property owners. The innovative idea of integrating solar modules into parking lot and residential car shelter roofs to generate green energy was born, giving rise to Bluetop 1.0.

2013 - Protecting our kids

Our very first significant challenge and initial success materialized with the creation of a solar shading structure for a daycare center in Denmark.

Established in 2013, this structure continues to provide shelter and sun protection for the little ones while generating clean electricity for the entire building’s occupants.

2014 - Scaling Strategies

During the solar shading structures design process, the company simultaneously experimented with various products while distributing solar solutions to other businesses. However, to foster Bluetop’s growth, specialization was necessary. A strategic decision was made to materialize growth ambitions on an international scale.

As of 2014, the company fully dedicated itself to designing and manufacturing solar shading structures specifically tailored for outdoor parking lots. Bluetop Solar Parking emerged as a European pioneer exclusively committed to this niche market, driving the development of innovative products. This focus led to the establishment of long-span carport production in Denmark.

Bluetop Solar Parking stands out for its combination of design expertise, specialized engineering precision, and quality support and project management. Unlike many providers, we offer a full range of modular solar canopy systems that can be tailored to each client’s needs. With +100 projects completed across 17 countries, we bring deep knowledge ensuring smooth processes.

Quality and long-term reliability are central to every Bluetop Solar installation. Our carport canopies are built using robust, certified materials designed to withstand weather conditions – including heavy rain, wind, and snow. Each system undergoes structural calculations and safety checks to ensure compliance with international standards. We also design for minimal maintenance, so your solar canopy remains efficient and visually appealing for decades. This commitment to craftsmanship and engineering excellence is one of the reasons why leading organisations trust Bluetop Solar Parking for their solar parking projects.

Every site is different, which is why Bluetop Solar takes a collaborative approach to design and delivery. We work closely with clients to understand their energy goals, site layout, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Based on this, we adapt our modular solar carport systems — adjusting span, roofing type, materials, and integration with EV charging infrastructure. This flexibility allows us to deliver solutions that are both technically sound and perfectly aligned with client needs.

All Bluetop Solar Parking canopies come with robust warranties on materials and workmanship. Safety is built into every stage of the process — from structural design that accounts for weather loads, through certified components, to installation practices that meet strict industry standards. Clients can rest assured that their solar carport not only produces clean energy but also offers long-lasting structural reliability and protection.
