Solar Charging Carport Support

Product Introduction

The solar charging carport support is a key component of the solar charging carport, mainly serving to support and fix solar panels and provide parking space for vehicles.

Structural Composition

Columns: Usually made of high - strength steel (such as Q235, Q345, etc.) or aluminum alloy, they are vertically installed on the ground. As the main load - bearing components of the entire carport support, columns are responsible for transferring various loads borne by the carport (such as the weight of solar panels, wind loads, snow loads, etc.) to the foundation.

Beams: Connected to the columns, they are generally also made of steel or aluminum alloy. Their function is to connect each column to form a stable frame structure and provide an installation base for solar panels. The spacing of the beams needs to be reasonably designed according to the size of the solar panels to ensure that the panels can be firmly installed.

Rafters: In some carport designs, rafters are used to support solar panels, keeping them at a certain inclination angle to optimize the sunlight reception efficiency of the solar panels. The angle of the rafters will be adjusted according to the local latitude and seasons, generally between 20° - 45°.

Material Characteristics

Steel: It has high strength and stiffness and can bear large loads, making it suitable for large - scale solar charging carports. The drawback of steel is its susceptibility to rust, so anti - rust treatments such as hot - dip galvanizing and applying anti - rust paint are required.

Aluminum alloy: It is relatively lightweight and has strong corrosion resistance, eliminating the need for additional complex anti - rust treatments, and is relatively convenient to install. However, the cost of aluminum alloy is relatively high, which may limit its application in some projects with strict cost control.

Advantages

Strong stability: The solar charging carport support, after reasonable design and installation, can withstand harsh weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, and snow, ensuring the safety of solar panels and vehicles. For example, in windy coastal areas, increasing the diameter of columns and optimizing the structural design can effectively improve the wind resistance of the carport support.

Good compatibility: It can be customized according to different types of solar panels (such as crystalline silicon panels, thin - film panels) and different installation requirements, flexibly adjusting the structural size and installation method.

Long service life: Using high - quality materials, good processing techniques, and with appropriate maintenance, the service life of the solar charging carport support can reach 15 - 25 years or even longer.

Application Scenarios

Commercial places: Such as parking lots of shopping malls, hotels, and office buildings, which can provide charging services for users and enhance the environmental image and service quality of the places.

Public areas: Including parking lots of airports, railway stations, bus stations, etc., which can meet the charging needs of electric public transportation vehicles and promote the development of green transportation.

Residential communities: It is convenient for residents to charge their electric vehicles. At the same time, it increases the functionality of parking spaces and improves the overall grade of the community.
