Carports and prefabricated garages have enormous photovoltaic potential

Carports and prefabricated garages offer enormous power generation and dual-use potential for sealed areas. 160,000 wooden carports in Germany in 2019 alone and a predicted 14,180 carports such as prefabricated garages in Austria for 2023 represent considerable and unfortunately unused potential for photovoltaics.

Carports and prefabricated garages offer enormous potential for generating electricity and dual use of sealed areas. Despite the high number of carports and prefabricated garages sold in Germany and Austria, the potential for photovoltaics is still largely unused. In 2019 alone, 160,000 wooden carports were sold in Germany and a forecast number of 14,180 carports and prefabricated garages is expected for Austria in 2023. By installing solar systems on these roofs, not only can the buildings themselves be supplied with electricity, but excess energy can also be fed into the public power grid. This can not only lead to cost savings, but also help reduce the carbon footprint and promote the expansion of renewable energy.

Demand and effort for larger solar parking spaces are high - we advise and help with solar carport planning and implementation!

When looking at the numbers of installed carports and prefabricated garages, there is enormous potential for expansion with photovoltaic systems. The comparatively low additional costs for the solar system equipment can help pay off the investment in carports and prefabricated garages, which was not the case or planned in the past. However, many people are not yet aware of this fact and it needs to be emphasized again and again. With a solar system on the roof of a carport or a prefabricated garage, you can not only save money, but also make a contribution to environmental protection. Xpert.Solar already offers appropriate offers in its plans (see solar carport planner ) that are tailored to the individual needs and requirements of customers. For example, the size of the system can be adjusted to the size of the garage or carport. There are now various options for storing electricity to ensure maximum use of the energy produced.

Sales of prefabricated garages and carports in Austria 2021 to 2023 (excluding photovoltaics)

A downward trend in the prefabricated garage market was expected in 2022. According to current forecasts, the number of prefabricated garages sold is expected to fall by -2.3 percent compared to the previous year to a total of 2,500. The reasons for this decline are varied and include, among other things, the general economic situation, higher material and transport costs and a changed demand structure.

Interestingly, however, there is an increase in sales of single garages, while sales of double and terraced garages are decreasing. This could indicate that more and more people are opting for individual garage solutions tailored to their needs.

In order to survive successfully in the market, garage manufacturers must respond to these changes and adapt their products and services to the needs of customers. Aspects such as sustainability and energy efficiency should also be taken into account in order to meet the increasing demands on environmentally conscious construction.

The entire study “Frequent garages and carports in Austria 2022” can be found here .

“In 2022, the sales markets for ready -made garages and carports develop. While a prefabricated garage manufacturer lists impressive sales figures and almost all competitors are replaced by the market, Carport providers fight with a growing competition. Several branded manufacturers push NO-Names out of the market and thus secure a larger market share. Despite these developments, the total sales of finished garages and carports will decline in 2022. A decline from -2.3 percent is expected to 2,500 in particular for finished garages. However, there is an increase in the sale of individual garages, while the sales figures for double and row garages are declining. ”

Sales development of carports in Germany (excluding photovoltaics)

Carports have been very popular in Germany for years as an alternative to garages. A possible explanation for this lies in the fact that carports are generally cheaper than garages and can also be built more quickly. In addition, carports offer the advantage that they ensure good ventilation of the parked car and can therefore reduce the formation of moisture.

The demand for carports in Germany has risen continuously in recent years. According to statistics from the Association of the German Wood Materials Industry (VHI), around 160,000 carports were sold in Germany in 2019. This corresponded to an increase of around 3% compared to the previous year. More recent figures could not be determined.

It is likely that this trend will continue in the future, as carports represent an attractive and practical alternative to garages. However, economic factors and external influences can influence development and possibly lead to fluctuations.

Why a carport made of aluminum is better than wood or steel

There are several reasons why an aluminum carport might be preferred compared to one made of wood or steel:

longevity

Aluminum is a durable and corrosion-resistant material option that, unlike wood or steel, will not rot, rust or deteriorate.

Low maintenance effort

An aluminum carport requires little maintenance compared to a wood or steel carport because aluminum does not need to be painted or sealed.

Lightweight construction

Aluminum is a lightweight material, meaning it is easier to transport and assemble than wood or steel.

flexibility

Aluminum is a very flexible material and can therefore be easily formed into different shapes and designs. This allows carports to be made in different sizes and shapes.

environmental friendliness

Aluminum is a recyclable material, meaning it can be reused after the carport's lifespan has ended. In contrast, wood can be more difficult to recycle and steel can rust and lose its structural integrity if not properly maintained.

aesthetics

Aluminum carports offer a modern and attractive look that fits well with modern homes and buildings. There is also a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from to ensure the carport fits in well with the rest of the building.

 

Did you already know? Our solar carport planner is also available to you as a white label solution

If a carport or a prefabricated garage is planned, then Xpert.Solar can be used competently and completely to implement it.

Xpert.Solar offers competent and complete implementation of photovoltaic systems in carports and prefabricated garages. The company specializes in the planning, installation and maintenance of solar systems and works closely with customers to find individual solutions. With Xpert.Solar, customers can be sure that their solar systems are professionally planned and installed and that they can get the maximum benefits from their investments.

Because solar experts lack the know-how for carport substructures and carport substructure experts lack the know-how for photovoltaics, Xpert.Solar and its partners offer everything from DC installation to AC, depending on your needs /DC implementation.

For large solar carport systems, Xpert.Solar provides advice and planning with its partners and many years of experience.
