Car Park Solar Carports
Sierra Technologies is introducing cutting-edge renewable energy solutions to Western Australia.
Among these offerings is the integration of solar carports, presenting businesses with an innovative strategy to transform parking areas into profitable assets. With solar panels seamlessly incorporated into the structure, these carports not only provide shelter for vehicles but also generate clean and sustainable energy.
This ingenious approach allows businesses to capitalise on otherwise underutilised space, turning parking lots into lucrative sources of both environmental sustainability and financial gain.
Benefits of Solar Carports
Minimise Energy Expenses
Unlock the full potential of energy usage with cutting-edge solar carpark solutions, maximising efficiency and minimising costs.
Reduce Carbon Footprint
Embrace sustainability through advanced solar carpark solutions, actively reducing your carbon footprint for a more environmentally friendly impact.
Space Optimisation
Solar carparks effectively leverage existing spaces, serving a dual purpose by providing shade for vehicles and generating clean energy.
How Much Does A Solar Carport Cost?
Solar carport systems typically cost between $3.45 and $4.00 per watt, including solar panels, Inverter, the carport structure, installation.

Solar canopies can easily turn unused parcels into mini power plants. Like rooftop solar installations, clients can generate on-site renewable energy instead of buying power from the utility company. As a result, solar carport owners benefit from monthly electricity bill savings.
With enough installed capacity, users could even sell excess solar energy back to their electric company through incentive programs like net energy metering.
Ground-mounted solar projects take up valuable land, with the space underneath rarely providing much additional benefit, except when combined with agrovoltaics. Similarly, the average parking lot isn’t terribly productive (even when cars are parked there).
Solar carports offer the best of both worlds – allowing users to optimise limited real estate by transforming unproductive parking spots into renewable energy-generation facilities. If more commercial solar carports are installed on parking lots, it decreases the need to convert agricultural land to solar farms.
In addition to generating low-cost clean energy, a solar carport also provides protection from inclement weather. On the hottest days of the year, solar carports help shade vehicles, resulting in more comfortable commutes for their drivers.
For this reason, they are especially popular in hot, sunny climates like Southern California, New Mexico, and Arizona. Likewise, solar carports provide protection from rain, sleet, ice, hail, and snow, helping to prolong the useful life of the cars underneath.
Commercial and residential solar carports can be integrated with EV-charging infrastructure. Homeowners with carports enjoy peace of mind in knowing that their EVs are charged with renewable power and don’t produce greenhouse gas emissions.
Business owners who install commercial solar carports with EV chargers can have a new revenue stream and an additional amenity to offer customers.
