As the simplest way to combine photovoltaics and buildings, photovoltaic carports have become more and more popular in recent years. Photovoltaic carport has the characteristics of good heat absorption, convenient installation and low cost. It can not only make full use of the original site, but also provide green energy. Building photovoltaic carports in factory parks, commercial areas, hospitals and schools can solve the problem of excessive temperature in outdoor parking lots in summer.
In fact, it can be used not only in business environments. If your family has 1-2 cars and plans to build your own parking shed, you can also consider installing a solar carport. Photovoltaic carports equipped with charging piles are very suitable for families with electric vehicles. Next, we will briefly introduce the types and characteristics of solar photovoltaic carports.
Types and characteristics of solar photovoltaic carports
1. Features and advantages of photovoltaic carport
A photovoltaic power generation system is a power generation system that uses photovoltaic modules to directly convert sunlight into electrical energy. Its main components are photovoltaic modules and inverters, which are characterized by high reliability, long service life, no environmental pollution, independent power generation and grid-connected operation, and have broad development prospects. Its main advantages are:
1) The photovoltaic carport does not have any requirements and restrictions on the site area, with large installed capacity, high return rate and short payback period.
2) Effectively shield the car from sunlight and rain, avoid exposure to the sun, and solve the problem of high temperature inside the car in summer.
3) The charging parking lot can use the photovoltaic carport to realize the income again on the basis of the parking fee.
4) Photovoltaic power generation is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, which can reduce the use of electric energy and expenses for owners, and can also sell excess electricity to achieve reverse income.
2. Types of solar photovoltaic carports
The photovoltaic carport is mainly composed of photovoltaic support, battery array, lighting and control inverter system, charging device system and lightning protection and grounding system. The system mainly includes support columns fixedly connected between the support columns, inclined beams connected to the inclined beams supporting the solar cell module array, fasteners for fixing the solar cell module array, and the like.
There are many types of photovoltaic carport supports, and the conventional ones can be divided into single-column one-way, double-column one-way, and single-column two-way. In addition to pillar support, there are also other support types, such as V-type, N-type, X-type, etc.
Another solar carport structure → BIPV photovoltaic waterproof carport support system has more outstanding performance, mainly in the following points:
1. The new structure is waterproof, with water guide grooves, which can effectively solve the problem of water seepage, and has excellent waterproof performance.
2. The design of the main body of the bracket adopts the most mechanically stable "double ▽" structure, and the structure is stable.
3. The appearance is beautiful, the overall maintenance cost is low, and the service life is long.
