SOLAR CARPORTS

CARPORT STANDARD

A simplified, cheaper solution with the use of universal steel sections and traditional connection methods. These sections are integrated with our aluminium rail design to optimise mounting of solar panels. Abridging the design minimises the cost of the system and streamlines remote projects.

CARPORT ADVANCED

An all-aluminium solution for a visual rounded and uniform appearance. Suitable for relatively even terrains with fine adjustment capabilities. Precision sections for a truly modular assembly in order to improve installation times. The semi-cantilever solution is offered with raised ground connections to allow motorists easy access in and out of their vehicles.

CARPORT PREMIUM

A cantilever solution to obtain the most practical layout for motorists. Less prone to accidents with the removal of obstructing posts. This streamline solution offers no hindrance to parked car’s opening doors. Sections have flanged ends with slotted holes for effortless assembly of the system. Cantilevered members integrate with our aluminium rail design to optimise mounting of solar PV panels.

Benefits of Solar Carports

Installing solar carports on parking lots can be a great alternative to solar on rooftops or undeveloped land, especially when there are limitations to the latter. A solar carport serves the dual purposes of protecting your car by acting as a shade structure and providing a large surface area that can be covered with solar photovoltaic PV panels.

Solar carports are the latest trend in solar system technology, and these benefits are what make them so efficient.

Efficient Use of Space

To install a carport, no additional space is needed, instead an already existing space can be utilized to maximize efficiency and increase comfort for employees, customers, and visitors. A carport from solar energy in South Africa can protect vehicles from sun to prevent overheating, and it protect vehicles from rain and snow. By providing shade to prevent cars from overheating in the sun, solar carports can improve the car owner’s fuel economy.

Lowering energy bills

Solar carports minimize energy expenses just like rooftop and ground-mount solar systems, which result in significant savings for businesses or residential buildings. Depending on your local area, you can exchange the power generated through the solar carport system. For credits on your monthly bills, or you can sell energy generated back to the grid for a higher price than what you’re paying for power.

Flexible and Customizable

Another great benefit is how easily customizable solar carport systems are. The most important aspect of this is how flexible installation can be; Solar carport systems can be installed at angles that maximize the amount of exposure to sunlight. Solar carport systems can adapt to fit the needs of a business. It can be through the number of solar panels installed, how much space it takes up, the style of the system, and flexible colour options to suit the company branding.

Easy to Maintain

The safest type of installation, which makes maintenance operations much easier, thus ensuring optimal operation of the system, is on a carport. In addition to facilitating the visual inspection, the photovoltaic carports can be cleaned and maintained without any special precautions and the panels get plenty of ventilation
