By reducing electricity consumption from the utility, a carport solar system helps lower energy costs. If the system produces excess electricity, homeowners and businesses may benefit from net energy metering (NEM), selling surplus solar power back to the grid for credits on their utility bills.
Unlike traditional carports that simply offer shade and weather protection, solar carports serve the dual purpose of energy production and vehicle shelter. Solar carports function identically to traditional rooftop solar systems in terms of energy generation. The key components include:
EV-Charging & Solar Carports Solar carports with EV chargers combine solar power and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, creating a sustainable charging solution. Residential solar carports let homeowners charge EVs with solar-generated electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Whether you're looking to charge your EV, offset your home's energy use, or simply make better use of your backyard space, building a solar carport residential system is one of the smartest investments you can make.
