As the simplest way to combine photovoltaic and architecture, photovoltaic carports have become more and more popular in recent years. PV carport has the characteristics of good heat absorption, easy installation and low cost. It can not only make full use of the original site, but also provide green energy. Building PV carports in factory parks, commercial areas, hospitals and schools can solve the problem of high outdoor parking lot temperature in summer.
In fact, it can be used not only in a commercial setting. If you have 1-2 cars in your home and plan to build your own parking shed, then you can also consider installing a solar carport. PV carports equipped with charging posts are very suitable for homes with electric vehicles. The following is a brief introduction to some of the types and features of solar PV carports.
Characteristics and advantages of photovoltaic carport
Photovoltaic power generation system is a kind of power generation system that uses photovoltaic modules to directly convert sunlight into electricity. Its main components are photovoltaic modules and inverters, which are characterized by high reliability, long service life, no environmental pollution, independent power generation and grid-connected operation, and have broad development prospects. Its main advantages are.
1) Photovoltaic carport does not have any requirement restriction on site area, large installed capacity, high return rate and short payback period.
2) Effectively shield the car from sunlight and rain, avoid exposure to the sun, and solve the problem of high temperature inside the car in summer.
3) Chargeable parking lots can use PV carports to realize revenue again on the basis of parking fees.
The type of solar carport
Photovoltaic carport mainly consists of photovoltaic bracket, battery array, lighting and control inverter system, charging device system and lightning protection and grounding system. The photovoltaic system mainly includes the support pillar which is fixedly connected between the support pillar, and the tilt beam which is connected to the tilt beam supporting the solar module array, and the fasteners which fix the solar module array, etc.
There are various types of photovoltaic carport brackets, and the conventional ones can be divided into single column one-way, double column one-way, and single column two-way types. In addition to support by columns, there are also other support types, such as Y-type, N-type, W-type, etc.
And another solar carport structure → BIPV photovoltaic waterproof carport bracket system performance is more outstanding, mainly in the following points.
1, new structure waterproof, with water guide tank, effectively solve the problem of water seepage, waterproof performance is excellent.
2、The main body of the bracket is designed with the most stable mechanical "double ▽ type" structure, and the structure is stable.
3、Beautiful appearance, low overall maintenance cost and long service life.
The type of PV carport is divided into single, double and multi-carport carports, most of which are modularized and can be used individually or combined in various ways for easy expansion, ranging from a few spaces to hundreds of spaces, with high flexibility. The overall cost is lower if ordinary PV modules are used.
