J C Electric & Solar can set-up your solar carport system. We can work with most any brand and consult for do-it-yourself as well.
Benefits of Solar Carports
- Energy Generation & Savings: They generate renewable energy to power your property, significantly reducing or even eliminating electricity bills. Excess power can often be sold back to the local utility grid through net metering programs.
- Dual Functionality & Space Optimization: Solar carports use existing parking areas, driveways, or lots, making productive use of otherwise wasted space without requiring extra land.
- Vehicle Protection: The structure acts as a traditional carport, shielding vehicles from sun, rain, snow, hail, and UV damage, which can prolong a vehicle’s lifespan and keep its interior cooler.
- EV Charging Integration: They can be seamlessly integrated with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, allowing you to power your EV with the clean energy generated on-site.
- Financial Incentives & ROI: Homeowners and businesses are eligible for incentives like the 30% federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) on the installation cost. This, combined with energy savings, results in competitive payback periods, often between 8-12 years.
- Increased Property Value: The addition of a solar carport can increase your property’s value and appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.
- Optimal Panel Orientation: Unlike rooftop panels that are limited by roof design, carports can be custom-angled for maximum sun exposure and energy output.
