Solar PV carports are solar panels installed above your carport to generate electricity from the sun. There are two main ways of achieving this. Firstly, you can retrofit solar PV panels onto the roof of an existing carport. The second method is to use purpose-built structures that integrate solar panels as the roofing of the carport. Both setups do not affect the function of the carport to shield vehicles from the elements.
Solar PV carport is growing in popularity internationally. Many homes and commercial properties have existing carports that can be transformed into an energy-producing structure. Where there is excellent solar radiation, the solar power industry as a whole continues to boom, both in small-scale and large-scale solar PV installation projects.

If you are looking to be more green and considering alternative
energy usage on your property, then a solar PV carport can be an
excellent next step. Here are some of the key features to take note
of:
Dual utilization of the same space – With solar PV carports, you
are simply adding another function to your carport. There is no
need to find and allocate additional land or roofing area as you
might have to do with conventional solar PV installations, where
space is at a premium.
An additional source of energy – One way to address the power
challenges is to generate more energy. You can use this additional
electricity to supplement the electricity you normally obtain from
the grid.
Solar energy is clean- Compared with other traditional ways of
producing energy, solar energy is clean and renewable. You don’t
have to worry about noise, fumes, combustion and pollution like you
might with thermal power generation such as diesel generators.
Solar energy is cheaper- It is cheaper to produce electricity from
solar PV on a unit to unit comparison. Once the initial
installation costs are recouped, solar provides a long-term
cost-saving advantage.
Advantages of Solar carports:
Solar carports offer simplified and economical alternatives to
complex and expensive roof mount systems.
Solar carports Utilize existing parking areas to generate power
without sacrificing valuable real estate.
By utilizing Parking areas in addition to existing building roofs
solar carports can vastly increase the overall energy production of
your solar project.
Permanent solar trellis and solar carports systems require little
to no maintenance and allow easy access to panels for service and
repair.
Solar carports provide shaded or covered parking for autos.
Applications:
Solar PV carports are a great way to make use of an often-forgotten
space. As seen from the list of benefits, these systems allow you
to generate clean and cheaper electricity on a residential or
commercial property, even where space is limited.
Attractive sites include areas of high vehicle parking areas such
as shopping malls, office parks, residential communal living areas,
hospitals and the like.
The power generated can be used in several ways, depending on the
electricity consumption of the home or property. You can also
install battery storage to store any additional power generated
beyond what can be used immediately.
If you own an electrical vehicle, then having a solar PV carport is
a convenient and economical way to meet some of its power needs.
You can install an electric vehicle’s charging station with the
carport and connect it to the solar PV on the roof.
