This article presents the engineering strategies and economic analysis required for the deployment of solar photovoltaic carports. It thoroughly discusses assessment of solar resources, PV module technology, tilt angle, orientation, and carport design required for this type of installation.
Solar carport systems include a number of key components that require considerable electrical and mechanical design. Solar car parks range in size from a single carport arrangement for one parking space to large multi-bay car parks. We went through the basic of solar carports design in our previous article.
These materials must support the weight of solar panels and withstand weather conditions, emphasizing the importance of quality in construction practices. Solar panel technology is another critical component of solar carport structures, with advancements in photovoltaic (PV) cells increasing the efficiency and energy output of these installations.
The findings showed that a solar carport system would be a feasible and efficient option for meeting the energy demands of the university . In several studies, the analysis of PV systems installed on parking lots is optimally coupled with electric vehicles (EVs).
Solar PV carports paired with EV charging stations can therefore function as an ideal independent source of energy supply that not only helps to reduce GHG emissions, but also benefits suppliers by facilitating market interaction between supply and demand 26.
The steps of installation typically involve: Site preparation. The construction of the carport frame. The installation of solar panels. The integration of electrical systems. Each step must be executed with precision and care to ensure the structural integrity of the carport and the efficiency of the solar panels.
