Features and Applications of PV Carports
In recent years, photovoltaic (PV) carports have gained increasing popularity due to their excellent heat absorption, ease of installation, and low cost. They not only make full use of available space but also provide green energy.
Applications of PV Carports:
As part of a distributed PV project (or as a component of one), PV carports integrate with charging stations and new energy electric vehicles. The PV modules installed on the carport roof generate electricity, which can be stored in batteries via a charging device or directly used to charge electric vehicles. Surplus electricity can even be fed back into the grid.
A PV carport mainly consists of a support system, an array of battery modules, lighting and control inverter systems, charging device systems, and lightning protection and grounding systems.
The support system includes support columns, inclined beams fixed between the columns, purlins attached to the beams for supporting the solar cell array, and fasteners to secure the battery modules.
Each carport is equipped with a junction box, where the electricity generated by the solar panels on the roof is collected and then transmitted to an inverter, converting DC to AC, which can be fed into the power grid to complete the power generation process.
Features of PV Carports:
Aesthetic Design: The blue PV panels replace the traditional membrane or steel roof of carports, adding an attractive touch.
High Practicality: PV carports not only protect vehicles from sun and rain but also provide a continuous supply of green electricity for charging electric vehicles and powering business facilities.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Solar power generation produces no emissions, noise, or pollution, making it a clean and environmentally friendly energy source.
Cost-Effective with Long-Term Benefits: PV carports generate power for up to 25 years, and once the initial costs are recovered, they offer pure profits from continued energy production.
This concludes Hengyuantai's introduction to the features and applications of PV carports.
