What are the factors that influence the price of a carport?
The power of photovoltaic panels, the overall quality of all products, the structure of the carport, accessories added to the car shelter… Add the administrative procedures and the choices specific to each owner to reach an unambiguous conclusion: many factors influence the final price of a solar carport. Let us look at all of these criteria.
The power of solar panels: an impact on price
When looking for a solar carport or, independently, a solar panel that you would like to install yourself on an existing car shelter, the index to look for is kWp.
It defines the power of the photovoltaic panel and, as one might expect, its size increases the final installation price with a necessarily more expensive panel.
Nevertheless, a high-power panel will generate more electricity and in this way make the investment even more profitable in the long run.
It is therefore important to carefully consider the power of the solar panels you wish to install on your solar carport and 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 explains why a two-car carport costs more than a single-car carport. While this principle applies equally to 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 structure's final price.
The type of carport: lean-to or freestanding?
Following the same principle, a lean-to 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 money on their solar carport therefore have every interest in opting for lean-to car shelters.
Ancillary equipment: costs to anticipate
Solar carports are modern structures that blend tastefully with all types of properties. And if everyone seems unanimous 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, ancillary equipment can drive up the project cost. Nevertheless, these costs can be offset or, better still, planned in advance thanks to the CliKIT concept, which allows for the later installation of all compatible carport accessories.
Taxes and administrative procedures: what impact on the price?
The wonder can be instantaneous upon discovering a carport at a friend's home or at a trade show presentation. Then generally 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 kWp and 1 MWp, only a prior declaration of works at the town hall (free of charge) will be required. Nevertheless, this structure, considered as permanent, increases the property tax rate and the simulated increase must therefore be included in the total investment price. Once again, the latter can be recouped through the electrical self-consumption 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 that allows you to install your own kit-built, custom-made structure, the price of a solar carport for one car starts at around 3,500 euros, solar panels included! The savings on installation are undeniable and, with a proven concept, it only takes a few hours to have your car sheltered that very same evening. The same goes for 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 aspect and a feasibility factor to consider when wishing to install solar panels on your car shelter. This is why the price of a solar carport varies depending on 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 and nothing 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 that require more or less durable materials and the choices specific to each owner, the price of a wooden carport can also vary considerably. Find our guide on the price of a wooden carport
Near the pool, alongside 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 practical 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?
Like the CliKIT catalogue and the verandas or pergolas also available in kit form and custom-made, carports adapt to all needs but above all, to all budgets. With no compromise whatsoever on quality and the lifespan of the structure, all owners have plenty to be satisfied with from the available options.
Saving on your solar carport without compromising on quality
In order to save money on your carport, several always useful tips can prevent your bill from rising. The two most obvious solutions are to choose a lean-to carport and also to stick to a surface area that can only accommodate a single vehicle. Beyond these trade-offs, choosing entry-level ranges from the catalogue can allow you to stay within your defined or maximum budget.
You only need to look at the CLIMALUX range to understand that the entry-level offering does not compromise in any way on the quality of the solar carports offered by CliKIT.
Reinforced aluminium, Osily solar panels guaranteed for 25 years and considered to exceed current industry standards, always custom-made? Savings are possible, without compromising on quality.
Which solar carport to aim for with a mid-range budget?
Without question, the SOFTLINE and TRADITION solar carports are the two structures that attract the most customers with a defined mid-range budget. With the possibility of sheltering one or even two cars and even enjoying a storage space at the end of a modern and elegant shelter, reviews are often glowing.
Still using premium materials, evolution can also occur with the addition of accessories thanks to these expandable and customisable carports. Moreover, why not change the colour of the carport, add an ECU-R bridge to monitor electricity production in real time, or add glass curtains for a stunning effect? Imagination is only limited by budget.
Premium solar carport: features and finishes included
Is a kit installation compatible with a top-of-the-range solar carport? At CliKIT, and thanks in no small part 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 3870Wp, and they will more than likely be proud to share their experience.
Still thanks to the accessories, available for all solar carport shapes, this car shelter adds the finishing touch to a covered carport that generates energy and protects the car and everything 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. With its 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 sketch 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 chore? Rather the assurance of a job well done and an obvious sense of satisfaction a few hours after work begins.
Thanks to a perfectly written installation guide, video tutorials and the ability to contact a technical advisor at any time, installing a solar carport is child's play.
Assembly requires only 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 on CliKIT solar carports will not require any insurmountable maintenance. With cleaning to be done 2 to 4 times a year, including on the solar panels to maintain their full photovoltaic potential, and requirements that are 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 progressively offer a return on investment, the leap is sometimes difficult to make.
Aware of these constraints, CliKIT has partnered with the Alma payment service in order to offer owners a secure payment in two or three interest-free instalments for solar carports and all products in its catalogue.
