Carport Mounting System

Carport Mounting System

A Carport Mounting System for solar panels is a structure designed to hold solar panels above parking areas, providing shade for vehicles while generating electricity. These systems are typically constructed with high-strength aluminum alloys for durability and corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding high winds and snow loads. They often feature waterproof designs and can be customized for various parking configurations.

Description

Key Components and Specifications:

Materials:

Aluminum Alloy: Often AL6005-T5, known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for outdoor use.

Steel: Q235B or Q355B, hot-dipped galvanized steel, or stainless steel 304/410, may be used for columns, beams, and other structural components.

Weather Resistance:

Wind Load: Designed to withstand wind speeds up to 60m/s.

Snow Load: Capable of supporting snow loads up to 1.4KN/m², or even 10KN/m² in some cases.

Design:

Tilt Angle: Adjustable tilt angles, often between 5° and 15°, to optimize solar energy capture.

Waterproof Design: Integrated waterproofing to protect vehicles and electrical components.

Modular Design: Allows for flexible configurations, accommodating single or multiple parking spaces.

Customization: Available in various configurations, including single or double slope roofs, and different
color options.

Lifespan:

Designed for a service life exceeding 25 years. 

Installation: Pre-assembled Components: Some systems feature pre-assembled components to reduce installation time and labor costs. 

Installation Manuals: Detailed installation instructions and manuals are often provided. 

Other Features:

EV Charging Integration: Can be integrated with electric vehicle charging stations. 

Corrosion Resistance: Surface treatments like anodization or hot-dip galvanizing provide enhanced corrosion protection. 

Compliance: May be certified to standards like JIS C 8955-2017, UL2703, or IEC61215. 

Cost Recovery:

Payback periods typically range from 5-8 years, depending on electricity consumption and government subsidies.
