Description

The solar carport structure is the key element in building a carport for residential or commercial parking lots. Unlike a simple canopy, a solar carport involves adding solar panels to the roof. This provides parking space and simultaneously generates electricity. With a solar carport, you have renewable energy to power your home, charge electric vehicles, or store in a battery for later use. This solar carport is the perfect solution both for large commercial car parks and for private yards. This solar carport structure can be flexibly used to park 1, 2, 4, 10, or more cars, depending on the customer’s needs. Furthermore, we can pre-produce assembly components based on professional designs. This allows you to install your solar carport quickly and easily, without having to drill or weld on-site.

Why Buy a Solar Carport

When designing a solar carport, our engineers fully consider maximum wind speeds, rainfall, snow loads, and seismic loads. This ensures long-term performance and high load-bearing capacity in practical applications. For those who own a car in extreme climates, a carport is always recommended. Solar radiation can damage rubber seals, and heavy snowfall can easily accumulate on cars or even damage their exterior. To address these problems, many people park their cars in their carports. Buy the solar carport structure that best suits your needs now. It is available in various sizes and thicknesses to meet the needs of both residential customers and those who need shelter and power in commercial areas.

Technical Features

Residential solar carport structures offer single-row parking, while commercial carport structures are designed with two rows. In both cases, the aluminum carport structure is lightweight, economical, and attractive. Furthermore, these permanent solar carports and their aluminum trusses are virtually maintenance-free. And if you don’t want to worry about foundation work, we offer a full range of advanced helical screw pile systems for stable and efficient solar installations. Our ground screw solar mounts provide a durable foundation for a variety of applications, ensuring long-term reliability. We also provide high-quality solar panels and versatile solar panel kits, designed to meet residential, commercial, and industrial energy needs.

Why a Solar Carport Is Better Than a Rooftop Installation

Solar carport structures offer numerous advantages. Consider some of the significant benefits you can enjoy by adding one to your property! Let’s start by analyzing some of the strengths of a solar carport. First, with a solar carport, we can optimize the orientation of the solar panels compared to a typical rooftop installation. In fact, your home likely wasn’t built with the optimal angle and orientation of the solar panels in mind. However, your solar carport structure can be precisely constructed to optimize solar energy production. Second, maintenance is easier. When it comes time for maintenance, including cleaning the panels, a solar carport is much easier to access than a rooftop installation. Therefore, this structure is better suited to keeping solar panels in optimal condition. Third, a parking lot structure is easier to install.

What To Consider Before Building a Solar Carport

Before equipping yourself with tools and materials, it’s essential to carefully evaluate whether a solar carport is right for your needs. While building one yourself is possible, it’s still a challenging undertaking! There are several factors to consider before getting started to ensure the solar carport structure is best designed for your needs.

What do you intend to use your solar carport for?

Of course, your solar carport is a great place to park vehicles and protect them from the elements. However, what do you intend to use the electricity generated by your solar panels for? Deciding what you’ll power with the electricity you generate is crucial. It’s the only way to determine how much electricity you need and then design the structure of your solar carport. Despite their name, most solar carports on the market don’t generate enough electricity to charge an electric vehicle. That’s why we offer a solar carport structure for two cars. This is large enough to mount solar panels that generate 10 Kw of electricity and can charge an electric car. If your primary goal is to reduce your electricity bill, you can install a structure for just one car. In that case, calculate how much electricity you consume per day.

What size should your solar carport structure be?

To determine the right size for your residential or commercial solar carport structure, you need to consider several factors. First and foremost the number of cars you want to park. Then, the number of solar panels you want the project to support. To decide on the right size, you need to balance installation costs, available space, and the amount of electricity you want to produce. As a starting point, a standard carport measures 3.65 m x 6 m.

Which materials to choose for the solar carport structure

When it comes to solar carports, there are three main types of materials to choose from. There are wood-framed carports, aluminum-framed carports, and steel-framed carports. While metal-framed structures offer greater reliability in terms of structural strength, wooden ones are more elegant. However, they are often more expensive. Steel or aluminum structures are highly recommended for large commercial carports.

How many solar panels do you need for your carport?

The number of solar panels needed for your carport depends on several factors. First and foremost, how much electricity you want to produce. Secondly, how many hours of direct sunlight your solar carport receives. Third, the size of your parking space. Fourth, the power rating of the solar panels you want to install. Consider that the appropriate number of solar panels varies from person to person. While some solar carports may have eight solar panels, others may have more or fewer. The more solar panels you have, the more electricity you will produce, but the higher the project will cost. So first determine how much electricity your commercial or residential carport needs to produce before building the solar structure.

How Much Does It Cost To Build a Solar Carport Structure for Commercial Parking Lots?

The total cost of your commercial solar carport project will vary depending on numerous factors. The first is the size and materials used to build the solar carport structure. The second is the number and type of solar panels, which determine the power output of the solar carport. The third factor is the solar controller and inverter, which convert the solar panels’ electricity into energy to power your home or car. Last but not least, you need to consider the ground anchoring system. You can simply place the solar carport structure on the ground and anchor it with special screws or prepare a suitable foundation. This solution is highly recommended for solar carports installed in parking areas subject to strong winds. Whatever your choice and the overall final cost, a solar carport is always a very attractive option.
