Introduction to Solar Carport Systems

Solar carports are an innovative and sustainable energy solution, especially for properties with limited roof or ground space. These systems are widely adopted in both residential and commercial settings, including homes, hospitals, schools, factories, and business districts. By installing solar carports, users can enjoy financial savings, environmental benefits, and practical advantages.
Unlike traditional carports that merely provide shelter for vehicles, solar carports integrate solar panels into their design. This dual functionality allows them to generate electricity while protecting your car. Choosing a solar carport is not only a smart way to reduce energy costs but also a step toward a greener future.

What Is a Solar Carport?

A solar carport is a standalone steel structure that serves two purposes: it shelters vehicles and generates clean, renewable electricity. The electricity produced can be used on-site or to charge electric vehicles (EVs).
Solar carports are highly customizable and can be adapted to various parking spaces. They can include features like rainwater harvesting gutters and branding options. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, solar carports enhance land value and create revenue opportunities through EV charging stations and advertising space.

Flexible Solar Carport Structural Design

Solar carports are versatile, ground-mounted structures designed to meet specific site conditions and project requirements. Leon Solar specializes in designing and supplying solar carport structures tailored to your budget and specifications. Our solutions are engineered for quick and easy installation, saving both time and money. To learn more about our carport systems, visit our website.

Common Applications of Solar Carports Residential Solar Carports

For homeowners unable to install rooftop solar systems due to space constraints, solar carports offer a flexible alternative. These ground-mounted systems provide both clean energy and shaded parking, optimizing land use. They can be positioned and oriented to maximize sunlight exposure.
 

Commercial Solar Carports

Commercial solar carports are ideal for businesses with ample parking space. They provide a reliable source of clean energy while offering additional benefits like EV charging and branding opportunities. The return on investment for a commercial solar carport is typically 10% to 20% annually, with a payback period of 5 to 10 years. After this period, the system continues to generate electricity for over 25 years.
 

Cost of a Solar Carport

The cost of a solar carport varies depending on factors like system size, location, and available incentives. On average, a 5kW solar carport system costs around $20,500, including the structure. After applying the 30% federal tax credit, the cost reduces to approximately $14,350.
The Inflation Reduction Act has extended the federal solar tax credit, offering homeowners and businesses significant savings. The tax credit percentages are as follows:
  • 2022-2032: 30%
  • 2033: 26%
  • 2034: 22%
  • 2035: Phased out

Advantages of Solar Carports

  1. Reduced Energy Costs: Solar carports generate clean energy, offsetting electricity bills.
  2. Increased Property Value: Studies show solar carports can increase property value by up to 4.1%.
  3. Vehicle Protection: They shield vehicles from rain, snow, and sun damage.
  4. Environmental Benefits: Solar carports reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
  5. Easy Installation: Leon Solar’s carport systems are designed for quick and hassle-free installation.

 

Additional benefits include EV charging capabilities, enhanced shade for parking areas, and improved curb appeal.

Disadvantages of Solar Carports

  1. High Initial Cost: Installation can be more expensive than traditional carports.
  2. Space Requirements: Solar carports need sufficient outdoor space, which may not be available for all properties.
  3. Structural Modifications: Existing carports may require adjustments to accommodate solar panels.
  4. Maintenance: Regular cleaning and servicing are necessary to maintain optimal performance.

Is a Solar Carport Worth It?

Solar carports are a practical and efficient solution for maximizing the utility of parking spaces. While they involve higher upfront costs compared to rooftop systems, their optimized design allows for greater electricity generation.

 

If you have a sunny outdoor parking area and limited roof space, a solar carport is an excellent choice. For businesses, commercial solar carports offer significant advantages over traditional rooftop systems.
