If you are an automobile owner or some who is an all-time PV fanatic and keen on following the latest technological trends, you must have come across the latest addition under the solar panel category – a solar carport. A more advanced version of the traditional carports and ground-mounted solar arrays.<\/p>\n
It is designed with the technology of capturing photons( light particles) and covers a car parking area. The functioning of a solar carport is no more different than the typical ground-mounted or roof-top solar panels. It works on the same technology. It transforms the energy of photons into electricity, through the process of photovoltaic effect. Its cost with solar panels depends on the type and size of the solar panel you choose.
\nThe trend of using a solar power generating carport and charging vehicles with solar energy<\/a> is at a boom these days. Either you look at a private car porch or a public parking area in big malls or city centers, you can see it.
\nOf course, a solar carport is especially meant for charging electric vehicles, but its function is not confined. Besides, it protects from UV rays and precipitation. Moreover, a solar power generating port also gives energy to nearby businesses, homes, or the local utility grid.<\/p>\nHow does it work?<\/h3>\n
\nWhen a solar panel is hit with a photon, its energy generates electrons to flow throughout the solar panels and generates an electric current.<\/p>\nCost of carport with solar panels<\/h3>\n
\nTotal cost depends on these questions:
\n1. How much power do you want to produce?
\n2. What is total area you want to cover?<\/p>\n
