What is a solar carport?

A solar carport offers more than just protection. The solar panels on the carport convert sunlight into electricity. This allows you to charge vehicles directly or use the power for other applications. This reduces energy costs and contributes to a green future.

What determines the cost of a solar carport?

The price of a solar carport is influenced by several factors. Some important factors are:

• Size of carport: The larger the carport, the more parking spaces and solar panels are needed. This increases costs but also offers additional energy savings.
• Solar panels: Shift to Solar works with glass-glass solar panels, known for their long life and efficiency. The purchase price is higher, but in the long run they pay off more.
• Material: A steel carport is sturdy and low-maintenance, while wood gives a more natural look. Material choice influences price and style.
• Additional options: Companies can opt for a stationary battery. This battery stores energy and helps absorb peak loads. This makes energy storage more efficient and reduces grid usage.

Subsidies and tax benefits

With a business solar carport, there are several grants and tax benefits available. For example, the SPRILA grant support for the construction of charging infrastructure. There are also tax benefits such as the Energy investment allowance (EIA) and the Small-scale investment deduction (KIA). These schemes make the investment more attractive and help reduce emissions.
