Not Just a Carport – A New Way to Generate Clean Energy

With the increasing use of new energy sources, the solar carport is not just a carport – a new way to generate clean energy. And by the booming new energy vehicle industry, solar carports have long been popular as a simple and feasible new power generation method. By integrating solar panels with the carport roof, they not only meet parking needs but also generate electricity through solar power. Charging stations can be installed for charging new energy vehicles, and we can also connect them to the grid to increase income. With their multiple benefits of energy saving, environmental protection, and emission reduction, solar carports are becoming a new trend under the dome.

Solar carports are available in single, double, and multi-bay configurations. We can use and modular most them individually or in various combinations. It allows for easy expansion from a few to hundreds of spaces, offering great flexibility.

Wanhos Solar carport systems provide simple and economical solutions for parking and solar power generation. They mainly come in the following types:

A ground-mounted single-pole solar carport is a solution specifically developed for large-scale commercial and utility-scale power plants. It features waterproofing strips and a charging station system. It offers low-carbon, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and reusable features.

(1) The single-column structure design allows for adjustment at multiple angles based on prefabricated adjustment holes. This saves a significant amount of space and providing greater convenience for parking.

(2) The exterior decoration is aesthetically pleasing and can freely and flexibly support various types of PV modules.

(3) We customize carbon steel or steel-aluminum combination to ensure the overall stability and strength of the system. We pre-assemble the bracket in the factory, and only require fasteners for installation on site.

(4) There are fewer installation restrictions, requiring only single-sided excavation.

Wanhos Solar multi-column carport is suitable for the installation of small and medium-sized ground PV power stations. The product is made of aluminum alloy structural material, has a high degree of pre-installation characteristics. It is highly resistant to wind and snow, and can adjust the entire system in the front, back, left, right, and up and down directions. It greatly reduces the requirements for installation accuracy.

(1) We embed the carport columns in the longitudinal beam, which is more aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, we increase the longitudinal beam profile and reduce the length of the cement foundation. So user can open the car door without interference. Comparing with the single-column carport, the overall structure is safer and more stable, has stronger wind resistance, and has greater space utilization.

(2) The block and slot adopt a symmetrical design, which does not require any direction during installation, thus improving installation efficiency; there are fewer installation parts, and we highly pre-install then in the factory, without any on-site cutting or drilling, which reduces the difficulty and time of on-site construction and greatly reduces project costs.

(3) The design of the beam and the lower lock component makes the system have good waterproof properties, solving the problem of water leakage.

Wanhos Solar BIPV carport adopts a pre-installed waterproof ground solar bracket system with better waterproof performance. It can protect the vehicle while generating power. It has more outstanding performance in the following functions:

(1) The crossbeam adopts a double track, the bottom track is a wide track, and the upper track is a BIPV symmetrical track; Wanhos Solar patented new structure is waterproof, through the “one press, one buckle, one lock” triple waterproof protection, we combine it with the water guide groove, it effectively solves the water seepage problem and has excellent waterproof performance.

(2) We pre-install most brackets in the factory. No cutting or welding is required on site. Only need to tighten the bolts to complete the installation. The construction is fast and the short construction time directly reduces the project cost. The overall maintenance cost is low and the service life is long.

(3) The appearance is beautiful and the design of the hidden concrete pier saves space and facilitates parking.

(4) We can customize solutions according to the customer’s on-site needs to maximize the use of land resources. If conditions permit, we can also build BIPV rooftop parking sheds.

In addition to the common carport types available on the market, Wanhos Solar also provides customization services. Wanhos Solar’s professional engineer team will tailor personalized solutions for you: In order to meet the different needs of customers, Wanhos Solar uses advanced simulation calculation software to conduct on-site simulation calculations (including the project site’s latitude and longitude, ground height, carport size, etc.) at the initial stage of the project, and designs the best system layout and installation angle to find the best solution for customers. Wanhos Solar also provides standard parking space design solutions, which customers can purchase by unit according to their needs; we can provide services according to customer needs. Solar carports are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide green energy generation, providing both protection and power generation.

As a solar mounting manufacturer with 12 years of experience in the industry, Wanhos Solar has developed a comprehensive solar carport system that effectively alleviates environmental and energy pressures, creating a powerful “engine” for building a new energy society centered around renewable energy.

For now, the solar carport is not just a carport – a new way to generate clean energy. If you would like to know more or sharing insights with us, please feel free to contact.
