Flexible Solar Carport Structure Design

A solar carport is a ground mounted multi purpose structure. It provides sheltered parking for vehicles while generating electricity with a solar panel carport roof. It can then either be used on-site or to charge parking EVs.

Our solution is fully customized. It is available with or without EV chargers and battery storage. It can be installed separately or together with a roof-mounted solar panel system as an extension of your main building.

Our solar carport design is highly flexible. In particular, it is convenient for businesses without adequate roof space for an independent PV system.

Residential Solar Carport

Solar carports provide more flexibility for homeowners who want to optimize electricity bills but can’t install rooftop solar power systems. Many homes do no have an adequate roof for solar power system installations.

Solar carports do not have these liabilities because they provide the roof themselves. Also, they can be flexibly placed and orientated for optimal sunlight exposure.

Our solar carport solution is specifically designed to allow ideal sunshine exposure, which most roofs cannot.

What Does a Solar Carport Cost per Watt?

The payback period shortens with the size of the system, as the fixed costs are spread over more solar modules.

The initial cost of your carport solution entirely depends on your setup. Please contact us and provide us with the details of your project. We will get back to you with a detailed quote.

How Does a Solar Carport Work?

The electricity generated by solar carports canopies is just like any other solar power system. It can be used immediately for EV charging or other purposes, stored in a battery, or fed to the grid. Overall, a solar carport gives you a high degree of flexibility in how you use your solar energy.

Do Carports Require Building Permissions?

What permissions you need depends on the area and district where you want to build your solar carport.

Generally, local authorities will require to apply for a building permit before installing your solar carport. A permit from the local distribution network operator (DNO) may be required for a solar carport as well.

Consult us if you are unsure about the specific building requirements in your area. We are well-connected with public authorities throughout Europe and will provide you with all the information you need.

Solar Carport FAQ

What is a Solar Carport?

A Solar carport is just like a standard carport. The main difference is that the roof is constructed from Solar modules, providing clean, green renewable energy

Why Choose a Solar Carport for Domestic Use?

If you are building a carport or replacing an older style carport, a Solar Carport is, in our opinion the obvious choice. It provides a perfect space to store what is considered to be the second biggest purchase – your car. Not only that, the solar panels will contribute to your energy needs and reduce carbon emissions considerably.

Why Choose a Solar Carport for Commercial Use?

In an age where the protection and conservation of our environment is becoming more critical, Solar Carports allow large scale development of energy plants within areas that have already been developed, reducing the need to encroach onto agricultural land and virgin areas. The growing demand and rising cost for energy and the need to reduce carbon is becoming ever more crucial. Solar Carports help to address this and deliver energy where it is needed, providing safe spaces and comfortable areas for people to park and as time goes on to park and charge their cars.

Do Solar Carports Cost More Than Standard Ones?

The simple answer is yes. However, many of the build costs are very similar. The Solar roof canopy replaces the typical carport roof meaning that the premium for this is much smaller than you would first think. Don’t forget it does the same job, but pays you back with clean green renewable energy, whilst reducing carbon emissions.

Are Solar Carports Easy to Maintain?

In many ways they are much easier. Many standard carports use poly carponate sheets and other roofing materials that trap dirt and debris. Solar Carports utilise the latest in glass technology. The structure is extremely strong and resistant to many climatic and environmental conditions. In addition, the coefficient properties of the glass prevent debris and dirt adhering to the surface. Rain or a simple hosing is normally enough to clean

What Are the Main Benefits of a Solar Carport?

The primary function is normally to protect a car and provide a shelter. However, because this system is modular the uses are limited only by imagination. In addition to energy generation for your home or business, the system is also available with EV charging and battery storage options. Unlike traditional carports, the Solar Carport is an investment which brings financial and environmental benefits.

Are Planning Permissions Required?

Solar carports require the same permission as standard carports.

Are Carports Taxable?

In domestic installations solar PV installations qualify for the reduced rate of 5%., unlike non solar carports which are charged at the standard VAT rate of 20%, The reduced rates also apply to battery storage where required.

Do Carports Look Unsightly?

Our carports have been specifically designed to enhance the built environment, creating a visually stimulating solution.

Are Carports Safe?

LONGi carports have been designed and tested to withstand a wide range of everyday conditions, and even extreme situations such as typhoons, earthquakes and snow loading. Every component is made to exacting standards. The modular design means that every section is as strong as the last. Our systems also include many design features to prevent impact. All roof joints are engineered and fully waterproof.

Are Solar Carports Expensive?

We have taken great care to develop a modular and affordable solution that has been optimised in every way. Many components are multi-functional, reducing assembly time and the necessity for accessories. The roof canopy is constructed entirely from Bi-facial solar modules, reducing weight loads and the need to use addition substrates.

Is a Solar Carport a Good Investment?

The simple answer is yes. Costing only a little more than a standard carport, the inclusion of up to 4kwp of solar per bay will provide a welcome contribution to the your energy or investment needs. In the ever-changing world of energy prices, it means that the price you have ‘locked-in’ the price of every energy unit that is produced by your carport.

How Long Does a Solar Carport Last?

All carports are made from high grade aluminum, and designed to withstand a wide range of environmental and climatic conditions. All components are warrantied and come with the knowledge that the system is designed and built by the largest Solar company in the world.

What Are the Dimensions of One Carport Module?

Unlike some systems LONGi carports are modular. Each bay is 3m x 6m and the canopy has a solar array of approximately 4kwp. As the system is modular, it may be as big as you need it to be, knowing that every bay is as strong as the last.
