Photovoltaic solar carport, as the name suggests, is an application form that combines photovoltaic technology with the roof of the carport. This is the simplest way to combine photovoltaics with buildings. Its core photovoltaic power generation system is mainly composed of photovoltaic modules and inverters, which has the advantages of high reliability, long service life and no environmental pollution. The photovoltaic carport can generate electricity independently or operate in parallel with the power grid.
Characteristics of Photovoltaic Solar Carport:
1.Green and Environmentally Friendly, Energy-Efficient: Photovoltaic carports make full use of solar energy to provide charging services for electric vehicles, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency. They do not emit any pollutants, making them very environmentally friendly.
2.Easy Installation and Good Flexibility: Photovoltaic carports have almost no geographical restrictions and can fully utilize existing sites to meet various venue needs. The installation process is simple and fast, allowing for quick completion and immediate use.
3.Economical and Cost-Effective: The construction and maintenance costs of photovoltaic carports are relatively low. The cost per square meter includes all engineering expenses such as steel structure and photovoltaic system, amounting to just over a thousand yuan.
4.Aesthetic and Long-Term Benefits: The photovoltaic carport system can continuously generate electricity for 25 years. After recovering the initial costs, you can enjoy the net benefits provided by the photovoltaic carport.
Exterior Design of Photovoltaic Solar Carport
1.Single Column Photovoltaic Carport : The single column carport utilizes a steel structure, offering benefits such as low carbon footprint, energy savings, environmental friendliness, and reusability. Its design is space-efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to install, requiring only single-sided excavation. Common designs include Y-shaped and L-shaped structures.
2. Multi-Column Photovoltaic Carport :This type of carport uses aluminum alloy structural material, featuring a simple design that does not require customization. Compared to single column carports, the multi-column design is safer and more stable, with stronger wind resistance and higher space utilization. However, the increased material usage results in a relatively higher overall cost. Common designs include W-type and V-type structures.
3. BIPV Waterproof Carport : The BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) carport incorporates multiple waterproof technologies, such as module drainage, gutter drainage, and structural waterproofing, to ensure effective prevention of leaks and water penetration.
