What are the factors that influence the price of a carport?
Power output of photovoltaic panels, overall quality of all products, carport structure, accessories paired with the car shelter… Add the administrative procedures and the choices specific to each owner to reach an undeniable conclusion: many factors affect the final price of the solar carport. Let us examine all of these criteria.
The power output of solar panels: an impact on the price
When looking for a solar carport or independently, a solar panel you would like to install yourself on an existing car shelter, the key indicator to look for is kWc.
It defines the power output of the photovoltaic panel and, as one might expect, its size increases the final price of the installation with a necessarily more expensive panel.
Nevertheless, a high-power panel will generate more electricity and in this sense, make the investment even more profitable in the long run.
It is therefore important to think carefully about the power output of the solar panels you wish to install on your solar carport and to adapt it according to the surface area of the structure.
Size and dimensions: 1 space or 2 spaces?
The larger and taller the carport, the more materials it requires. This is undeniable and obvious, and it explains why a two-car carport costs more than a single-car carport. While this principle is the same for a pergola or a simple car shelter, it is even more comprehensive with a solar carport since the solar panels are, very often, the largest financial portion of the final price of the structure.
The type of carport: wall-mounted or freestanding?
Still following the same principle, a wall-mounted carport tends to be more affordable than a freestanding carport. With a lower number of posts, material costs are reduced. Owners who wish to save on their solar carport therefore have every interest in turning to wall-mounted car shelters.
Additional equipment: costs to anticipate
Solar carports are modern structures that blend tastefully with all types of properties. And while everyone seems to agree on this point, what can be said about solar carports built within the CliKIT concept with a kit installation (always custom-made) that allows for unique personalisation and modulation. With the ambition to enclose your carport, install lighting, or add side panels, additional equipment can drive up the project cost. Nevertheless, these costs can be offset or better yet, planned in advance thanks to the CliKIT concept, which allows for the subsequent installation of all compatible carport accessories.
Taxes and administrative procedures: what impact on the price?
The wonder can be instant when discovering a carport at a friend's home or during a trade show presentation. Then comes the inevitable and natural question: does a solar carport need to be declared? With a surface area of 5m2 to 20m2 and a power output between 3 kWc and 1 MWc, only a prior declaration of works at the town hall (free of charge) will be required. Nevertheless, this structure, considered permanent, increases the property tax rate and the simulated increase must therefore be included in the total investment cost. Once again, this can be offset through self-consumption of electricity made possible by the solar panels.
What is the price of a solar carport?
What if you had the wrong idea about the price of a solar carport? Still with the CliKIT concept, which allows you to install your custom kit structure yourself, the price of a solar carport for one car starts at around 3,500 euros, solar panels included! The savings made on installation are undeniable and, with a concept that has proven itself, it only takes a few hours to ensure your car is sheltered that same evening. The same applies to a more expensive solar carport model, still under 5,000 euros, with an even larger surface area and more advanced features.
How much does a solar carport cost depending on the material?
There is a practical side and feasibility to consider when wishing to install solar panels on your car shelter. This is why the price of a solar carport varies according to the main material of the shelter. At CliKIT, only aluminium carports can accommodate solar panels on their roof.
What is the price of an aluminium carport?
The aluminium carport is nothing more or less than a solar carport without a photovoltaic panel. Like the latter, its price tends to vary according to classic criteria such as size, dimensions or accessories added to the structure. Find our guide on the price of an aluminium carport
What is the price of a wooden carport?
With more or less premium wood, structures requiring more or less resistant materials and the choices specific to each owner, the price of a wooden carport can also vary from one extreme to the other. Find our guide on the price of a wooden carport
Near the pool, around the garage, or freestanding along the hedge? You will see for yourself that the different ranges of CliKIT solar carports adapt perfectly to all environments. Always combining the useful with the pleasant, the solar carport enhances your property, protects your car and also allows you to save on your electricity bill.
How to choose the best CliKIT carport according to your budget?
Just like the CliKIT catalogue with verandas and pergolas also available as kit and custom-made solutions, carports adapt to all needs but above all, to all budgets. Without the slightest compromise on quality and the lifespan of the structure, all owners have every reason to be satisfied with the available options.
Saving on your solar carport without compromising on quality
In order to save on your carport, several always-welcome tips can prevent you from driving up the bill. The two most obvious solutions are to choose a wall-mounted carport and also to stick to a surface area that can only accommodate one vehicle. Beyond these trade-offs, choosing entry-level ranges from the catalogue can help you stay within your defined or maximum budget.
One only needs to look at the CLIMALUX range to understand that the entry-level model in no way compromises on the quality of the solar carports offered by CliKIT.
Reinforced aluminium, Osily solar panels guaranteed for 25 years and considered to go beyond current industry standards, always custom-made? Savings are possible, without compromising on quality.
Which solar carport to aim for with a medium budget?
Without any possible dispute, the SOFTLINE and TRADITION solar carports are the two structures that attract the most customers with a defined medium budget. With the possibility of sheltering one car, or even two, and even enjoying a storage space at the end of a modern and elegant shelter, the reviews are often glowing.
Always with premium materials, upgrades can also come with the addition of accessories thanks to these upgradeable and customisable carports. Moreover, why not change the colour of the carport, add an ECU-R walkway to monitor electricity production in real time, or add glass curtains for a striking effect? Imagination is only limited by the budget.
Premium solar carport: included services and finishes
Is a kit installation compatible with a top-of-the-range solar carport? At CliKIT, and not least thanks to the custom-made design, our answer is yes! Ask the owners of a CLIMALUX solar carport with dimensions that can exceed 10 metres with nine photovoltaic panels for a power output of 3870Wc — they will probably be more than happy to share their experience with you.
Always thanks to the accessories, available for all types of solar carports, this car shelter adds the cherry on top of a covered carport that generates energy and protects the car and anything else you wish to leave outside, summer and winter alike.
What are the advantages of choosing a CliKIT carport?
By choosing a CliKIT carport, you are trusting a company recognised for its expertise and professionalism. Building on a custom-made, kit-based concept, CliKIT offers a catalogue of accessible and modular carports.
More than the simplified installation, the competitive price and the customisable aspect of each build, CliKIT also stands out for its support. From the first sketches of a project to many months after the final installation of the car shelter, the technical and sales teams are there to support you.
How to install a CliKIT solar carport yourself?
CliKIT solar carports are designed for a "home" installation, without the help of professionals or an outside company. A daunting task? Rather, it is the assurance of a job well done and an obvious satisfaction a few hours after the start of proceedings.
Thanks to a perfectly crafted installation guide, video tutorials and the ability to contact a technical advisor at any time, installing a solar carport is child's play.
Assembly only requires basic tools defined in advance, the help of one person and a few hours of your time.
What is the maintenance cost of a CliKIT solar carport?
A material designed to last over time and withstand all weather conditions, the aluminium used in CliKIT solar carports will not require any insurmountable maintenance. With cleaning that should be carried out 2 to 4 times a year, including on the solar panels to maintain their full photovoltaic potential, and needs that remain simply non-abrasive cloths, clean water and natural products, maintenance does not exceed a hundred euros per year.
How to finance the purchase of your CliKIT solar carport?
Investing in solar panels and a car shelter can represent a significant sum. And even if the self-consumption from the solar panels will gradually provide a return on investment, the fact remains that taking the plunge can sometimes be difficult.
Aware of these constraints, CliKIT has partnered with the Alma payment service to offer owners a secure payment of two or three instalments at no extra charge for solar carports and all the products in its catalogue.
