CliKIT on TVWhat is the price of a solar carport?
At a time when sustainable development is a vital challenge for society, the production of clean energy with low CO2 emissions is an issue that must be at the heart of every discussion. This now includes the footprint of every individual within their own property.
Choosing a solar carport
After gradually making their way into supermarket car parks and other large commercial areas, solar carports are also appearing in many private properties. On a smaller scale, the impact is just as beneficial for the planet and allows owners to combine practicality, economy and ecology!
Custom carports or car shelters are highly popular in private residences. Installing solar panels for energy resale or self-consumption has, for several years, become a habit adopted by many households. Here, the two combine perfectly, and it is in this spirit that CliKIT now offers solar carports.
Logically, the investment is greater compared to a classic car shelter offered as a kit and custom-made by CliKIT, but there is little doubt that in the medium term, the investment will prove worthwhile.
What is a solar carport?
In recent years, carports have developed at great speed and consistently find a prime spot within properties, parking areas, and any other surface capable of accommodating vehicles. Whether it is an aluminium carport or a wooden carport, they all lend an undeniable charm to a property, and it is also for this reason that many homeowners choose to install such a structure at their home.
From now on, the rise of solar carports offers a new dimension to these ambitions, with the possibility of producing your own electricity thanks to the natural energy provided by the sun.
The presentation of a solar carport comes about most naturally, in the same way as the energy captured by the photovoltaic panels on the roof of the structure.
By integrating panels on the roof of the structure to take advantage of the accumulated energy, CliKIT offers solar carports that retain a practical and aesthetic appeal, while adding an obvious ecological dimension!
A solar carport is therefore nothing more or less than a classic car shelter that incorporates photovoltaic panels on its structure, capable of storing energy.
What is the price of a photovoltaic car shelter?
A solar carport is a clear improvement on a classic car shelter, with a price that must include the cost of the photovoltaic panels. People frequently wonder how much a carport costs: the logic follows its course with the price of a structure equivalent to other CliKIT models, where you naturally need to include the price of the panels installed on the roof of the structure designed to shelter your car or any other item that may benefit from protection against the weather.
The total price includes, however, all components of the structure, panels included!
Always with the advantages of CliKIT and an assembly that requires no external labour, the price of a solar carport can range between €3,000 and €10,500.
Of course, certain obvious constraints make designing the car shelter less straightforward, but the solar carport fits perfectly into the spirit of the times, and there is little doubt that in the future, this new range will become an obvious choice for many homeowners who may wish to benefit from subsidies for such an installation.
It must be said that subsidies frequently encourage households to change their electricity model, and the growing power of this new range could play a role in this regard.
Producing electricity at sufficient power with your solar car shelter
There are two major solutions when you want to install photovoltaic panels on a carport or on the roof of your home. In some cases, it is entirely possible to sell the energy produced back to your energy supplier, but this solution requires a somewhat more substantial installation than the other and more complex organization.
This is largely why CliKIT has chosen the self-consumption solution for its solar carports. Easy to set up, this solution allows the owner of the car shelter equipped with photovoltaic panels to directly benefit from the energy produced within their own home.
With an electric vehicle parked under the carport, the energy transfer can take place in an even more straightforward way than usual, with a short circuit and obvious energy savings.
Moreover, this approach offers significant profitability for those looking to invest in a solar carport. The installation is straightforward and the electrical power benefits the household thanks to the photovoltaic addition.
Self-financing your carport by producing your own energy
Energy production for self-consumption on your solar carport has one major advantage. By recovering the energy produced for the property's own consumption, the profitability and return on investment are very attractive when looking to recoup the cost of your solar carport.
In this regard, the self-financing of a solar carport could be achieved over around ten years, allowing households to quickly see the added value brought by such a structure.
Once it has been fully paid off, the energy production will continue to benefit all the energy-consuming components of the home.
In the future, one can even imagine that, in the context of soft mobility and certain incentivised installations, such a photovoltaic structure could once again benefit from government subsidies.
Managing electricity is a key challenge, and such an installation can improve many things.
What are the constraints of a solar carport installation?
CliKIT has always been proud to offer carports and structures such as pergolas or garden rooms, as kits and above all, custom-made. For obvious reasons, solar carports are offered in set dimensions in order to respect the defined placement and size of the photovoltaic panels. This is probably the only constraint of the structure, since it directly integrates the panels and can be configured like all other products in the range.
