Introduction
With the acceleration of the global carbon neutral process, the application of photovoltaic technology continues to expand. As a typical solution of “photovoltaic + transportation”, solar carport has become a popular choice for industrial and commercial parks, public facilities and family scenes due to its efficient use of space, low carbon economy and diversified added value. This paper will analyze the core value of solar carport in PV industry and wider fields.
First, Photovoltaic industry perspective: technological breakthroughs and market growth of carport system
Technology upgrade drives efficiency improvement
The new generation of solar carport adopts high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon module or lightweight thin-film battery, with intelligent tilting bracket design, the power generation efficiency is 15%-20% higher than the traditional system. Some projects integrate energy storage systems.
Accelerating market scale
According to the industry report, the global solar carport market has exceeded 2.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 12%. China, Europe, America and Southeast Asia have become the main growth engines due to policy subsidies and demand for land resource intensification.
Second, multi-dimensional value analysis: beyond the comprehensive benefits of power generation
Space reuse, cost reduction and efficiency increase
While providing shade and rain protection, the PV panels on the top of the carport can generate up to 150-200kWh of electricity per square meter per year, which significantly reduces the cost of electricity for enterprises.
Policy Dividends
Many governments offer kWh subsidies, tax breaks and green building certification points for distributed PV projects.
Third, Application Scenario Expansion: Comprehensive Coverage from Factories to Communities
Industrial and commercial parks: Solve the shade needs of employees’ vehicles and simultaneously reduce the reliance on electricity for operation.
Public facilities: airport, station and other large parking lots through the PV carport to achieve energy self-sufficiency.
Family scenarios: integrated design combines aesthetics and practicality, and helps optimize residents’ electricity bills.
Fourth, the industry outlook: intelligent and multi-energy integration into the trend
In the future, the solar carport will be combined with charging piles, the depth of the technology to build a “light storage charging” integrated microgrid. the popularization of AI operation and maintenance system will further reduce the full life cycle management costs.
Conclusion
Solar carport is not only an innovative landing scene of the photovoltaic industry, but also an efficient carrier for enterprises to practice green transformation.
