Options for the Construction of a Solar Carport
First of all, a solar carport, also known as a solar carport, offers benefits that may seem too good to be true.
- It provides weather protection and coverage for our cars.
- The PV modules are optimally oriented and the number of panels can be easily scaled, which increases energy production.
- It is possible to charge an electric car at the entrance, which uses renewable energy for our mobility and reduces carbon emissions.
- Redundant parking areas can also be covered with solar panels, improving the use of space.
However, it is no coincidence that many solar companies are reluctant to have a solar carport professionally built. The success of a project requires a unique survey, design and experienced professionals.
Solar carports are always made with personalised consultation and individual design, as they can be implemented in many different ways. This gives them an advantage but also makes them a challenge.
Some important questions to ask when installing a solar carport:
- How many vehicles do we want to cover with solar panels?
- For family houses, it is easier to use a fixed structure, while for corporate clients we use a modular solution that fits the needs.
- What is the ideal layout?
- The PV modules can be arranged in a V-shape to allow cars to park opposite each other and increase energy production with optimal orientation.
- What material and how do we build the structure?
- The structure can be made of metal or wood, depending on the customer's preference and budget.
- How do we cover the carport?
- The carport can be covered by the solar panels themselves, but it is important to pay attention to aesthetics and waterproofing. Another option could be to use sheet or shingle roofing.
Solar car parks offer a number of benefits, combining renewable energy production and car protection. It can also be a financially valuable investment in the long term.
Corporate solar systems can be beneficial for the environment and cost savings. Turn to our experts, who have half a decade of experience and more than 3,500 solar PV and heat pump systems installed.
An innovation in industrial solar farms is the use of rotating support structures that allow sun-tracking, which increases energy production. These mounts are used in collaboration with proven and quality manufacturers to build solar carports.
Finally, we can mention the possibility of solar terraces and pergolas, which can be built using a similar logic to carports and can provide a stylish and useful solution for the garden.
Overall, installing a solar carport is a decision that combines sustainability with practicality, but it requires careful planning and expert contractors.
