4-pillar carports – advice and planning: Wood construction for larger solar carport systems or solar carport systems?

So far, solar carports made of wood have been very popular, especially in the private sector for single and double carports.

In the area of ​​larger solar carport systems, steel constructions are mainly used.

Compared to wood, steel has a much higher weather resistance. But wood can also be made weatherproof or weatherproof. Depending on the situation, this includes regular treatment of the wood with impregnations, oil, varnish and/or glazes. Oil protection must be renewed regularly, i.e. every year. For other treatment options, the time intervals depend on the strain. Depending on the situation, every two to three years or every five to seven years.

Given the current rising prices of building materials, wood continues to prove to be a cost-effective alternative.

With appropriate care and consideration of the maintenance effort compared to the cheaper price, a solar carport made of wood up to a certain size can be well worth it.

But it can also be smarter : the combination of wooden construction and the solar carport 4-pillar technology, where the supports are made of steel. In the upper area, directly under the solar modules, the wooden substructure for solar modules is protected from the weather, while the support columns are still made of steel, like all other large solar carport systems. With this method, the wood used requires virtually no further treatment against the effects of the weather, even over decades.

This combination also saves a lot more steel, which is reflected in the price.

Another important aspect comes when it comes to aesthetics and appearance.

The combination of wood and steel with a translucent roof using semi-transparent double glass modules not only refines the parking area itself, but also has a major positive impact on people and the environment.

We know this from the construction industry. There are different ways to keep people from certain areas and only allow them to come if absolutely necessary. On the other hand, there are many areas that thrive on high customer frequency, such as: B. Shopping center. The competition is great. Therefore, it is particularly important here to set accents that attract people and where they feel comfortable.

Everything from a single source, specially designed for solar solutions for large parking areas. You refinance or counterfinance into the future with your own electricity generation.
