Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce urban land resources and growing demand for environmental protection, photovoltaic (PV) carports, as a simplified form of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), are gradually gaining attention. By combining the sunshade and rainproof functions of traditional carports with photovoltaic power generation technology, they not only activate idle parking spaces but also provide clean electricity for cities, serving as an effective solution to alleviate energy pressure and protect the environment.
The power generation principle of PV carports is based on the basic logic of photovoltaic technology. The solar panels laid on the top of the carport act like "sunlight collectors," converting solar energy into direct current (DC) electricity under light conditions.This scattered electricity is centrally collected through a combiner box, and then an inverter converts the DC power into alternating current (AC) power. The converted electricity can be directly connected to the power grid for public use or supply power to equipment such as electric vehicle (EV) charging piles, creating a convenient scenario of "parking while charging" and realizing the green conversion of energy.
The core advantage of PV carports lies in the dual utilization of space and energy. Built on the basis of existing parking lots, they do not require additional land occupation, feature relatively low construction costs and simple installation procedures, and can be flexibly adjusted in scale according to site needs. At the same time, the photovoltaic modules, used as the top material of the carport, have good heat absorption performance, providing a cool environment for vehicles and reducing discomfort caused by high temperatures inside the car in summer.In terms of energy benefits, the electricity generated by PV carports can directly meet the needs of vehicle charging and power supply for surrounding facilities. The surplus electricity can also be connected to the power grid, bringing additional income to users and forming a positive cycle of "energy conservation + income generation." This model not only eases the urban electricity demand pressure but also reduces carbon emissions through the replacement of clean energy, actively responding to environmental protection calls and achieving a win-win situation of social and environmental benefits.
PV carports come in a wide range of types and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.
- Classified by the number of parking spaces: There are two-car and multi-car parking carports. Adopting a modular design, they are suitable for homes or small-scale venues and can also be combined into large parking lots with hundreds of parking spaces, featuring strong expandability.
- Classified by PV module type: Carports with ordinary modules have lower costs and a short investment payback period; although carports with double-glass modules have slightly higher costs, they have a more exquisite appearance and are suitable for commercial venues with aesthetic requirements.
- From the perspective of application scenarios: Suitable solutions are available for homes, companies, shopping malls, large parking lots, etc. In terms of style, they cover classic, minimalist, modern and other types, which can be coordinated with the style of surrounding buildings.
In addition, according to the type of vehicles to be parked, PV carports can be specially designed for electric bikes, cars, buses, etc. In terms of functions, in addition to the basic functions of rain protection and power generation, they can also be upgraded to smart carports, equipped with charging piles, energy storage systems, etc., to improve usability. There are more than ten types of column forms, such as C-type, H-type, and L-type, which further enhance their adaptability to different site conditions.
