The installation of a solar carport is a systematic process that involves constructing the support structure, installing the photovoltaic panels, and integrating the electrical systems. Each step must be executed with precision, following the design specifications and adhering to safety protocols.
Polysolar offers a range of standard Solar Carport designs as well as bespoke solutions, deploying our unique transparent PV glass or conventional solar panels that for the watertight roof. We also offer integrated EV plugs (from a range of leading manufacturers) as well as integrated battery storage, inverters and lighting where required.
A solar carport, by definition, is a structure that combines the utility of a conventional carport with the renewable energy capability of solar panels. Unlike traditional carports, these innovative structures are designed to capture and convert solar energy into usable electricity, showcasing a blend of functionality and sustainability.
Our solar PV carports are capable of generating 3,000kWh of electricity per year, enough to power the average plug-in electric vehicle for over 12,000 miles a year in the UK. That means free car travel for life.
The appropriate number of solar panels for this type of project will vary from person to person. While some solar carports may have 11 solar panels, others may have more or less. The more solar panels you have of the same rated power output, the more electricity you’ll produce – but the higher the project cost.
The selection of a contractor is a decisive factor in the success of a solar carport installation. A contractor with a track record in solar projects will bring valuable expertise and insights, ensuring the installation adheres to technical and safety standards.
