Solar parking lot as an isolated solution? Solar carports with solar modules, wallbox and energy storage – Not every solution is a good solution

🌞 Advantages of solar carports

Solar carports offer an innovative solution for powering electric vehicles with environmentally friendly electricity. Equipped with a roof of photovoltaic panels, they serve both as protection for the vehicle and as a private energy source. As the energy transition progresses, homes with integrated energy solutions are becoming increasingly important. For electric vehicle owners in particular, generating their own electricity is an attractive option for reducing their dependence on external power sources.

💲 Market offers and profitability

A current offer on the market is a solar carport for around €11,000, fully equipped with solar panels, an energy storage system, a wallbox, and additional sockets for electronic devices. But is this offer really as advantageous as it seems?

🔋 Efficiency and storage technology

The efficiency of the solar panels plays a crucial role. With a capacity of up to 5 kWp, these panels could generate enough energy to cover daily needs. Assuming average performance, households with average electricity consumption could benefit from a solar carport.

🧐 Critical aspects and long-term efficiency

However, there are a few things to consider. The included lead-acid battery can only handle 600 to 800 charging cycles and has an effective capacity of approximately 25 kWh, despite a nominal capacity of 40 kWh. In the long run, modern lithium-ion batteries with higher cycle stability and lower maintenance requirements are often the better choice, despite their higher initial cost.

🔄 Integrated energy management

A solar carport should therefore not be considered in isolation. It is part of a comprehensive energy management system for the home. Integration with the home's electrical grid, intelligent energy management, and carefully planned use of storage technologies significantly increase efficiency. With appropriate system design, a large portion of the electricity demand can be met even during the winter months.

🌦 Local conditions and material quality

Furthermore, aspects such as roof pitch, orientation, and local weather conditions must be considered. The material quality and warranty conditions of the solar panels and battery storage system are also important. Investing in high-quality components and professional installation ensures reliable operation of the system for many years.

💰 Government subsidies

Finally, government subsidies also play a role. Subsidies and tax advantages can significantly increase the attractiveness of a solar carport. Prospective buyers should therefore thoroughly research available subsidies, as these can considerably reduce acquisition and operating costs.

🌱 A decision for the future

The use of solar carports is a forward-looking decision overall. It contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, increases energy independence, and can lead to long-term cost savings. However, a comprehensive analysis of individual circumstances and needs should be conducted before purchasing one to find the best possible solution. Detailed consultation with experts is therefore essential to ensure the optimal configuration of a solar carport.

Solar parking spaces are a promising way to generate renewable energy while optimizing limited space requirements in cities and urban areas. However, there are actually some challenges that can complicate the introduction of such parking spaces.

One of the biggest hurdles is the high cost and planning effort associated with installing solar panels in parking lots. Not only must the cost of the solar panels themselves be taken into account, but also the cost of the infrastructure required to connect the panels to the grid. In addition, the space required for installing the solar modules must be precisely planned and coordinated to ensure effective use of the available space.

Another obstacle are bureaucratic hurdles and approval processes that can make it difficult to install solar panels in parking lots. Depending on the region or country, different rules and regulations may apply, which can complicate the approval and implementation process.

Despite these challenges, there is high demand for solar parking spaces as they represent an effective way to promote renewable energy while optimizing space requirements in urban areas. With careful planning and collaboration between the parties involved, the hurdles can be overcome to facilitate the introduction of such parking spaces.
