Benefits of Solar Carport Racks
The photovoltaic (PV) power generation system utilizes solar cells to directly convert solar energy into electricity. Its main components are solar panels and inverters, characterized by high reliability, long service life, and no environmental pollution.
Solar PV carports meet parking needs while also generating electricity through PV power generation, increasing revenue and promoting energy conservation and environmental protection. A PV carport mainly consists of support columns, inclined beams connecting to solar panel components, and fasteners securing the solar panel array.
The racks for solar carports are easily expandable, accommodating anywhere from a few parking spaces to hundreds, offering strong flexibility. If standard photovoltaic modules are used, the overall cost is relatively low. With a large installed capacity, the return on investment is high, and the payback period is short. This is the simplest way to integrate photovoltaics with buildings, and it has become increasingly popular in recent years.
PV carports have good heat absorption properties, are easy to install, and are cost-effective. They not only make full use of existing space but also provide green energy, helping to alleviate the high temperatures often found in outdoor parking lots during summer.
Through the PV module system, solar energy is converted into electricity for residential or industrial use. Rooftop generation differs from traditional centralized ground-mounted PV systems, featuring characteristics such as miniaturization, decentralization, economy, efficiency, and reliability. Integrating PV modules with carport roofs can save costs compared to installing PV modules solely on the carport roof while still fulfilling all traditional carport functions and generating revenue for owners.
