Aluminum alloy solar carports can be viewed as a "photovoltaic carport system." They use photovoltaic modules instead of the traditional carport roof, providing not only shelter from wind and rain but also generating electricity from solar energy, achieving dual use of the land. The core component is the aluminum alloy structure, which brings several unique advantages.

Product Description
This product utilizes a high-strength aluminum alloy structure (material options include 6061-T6/6005-T5), undergoing anodized surface treatment for superior corrosion resistance and aging resistance. It is impervious to coastal high-salt spray, de-icing agent corrosion, and acid rain environments, requiring no rust removal or repainting for its entire lifespan. The carport can withstand super typhoons of 60m/s and snow loads of 1.4KN/m², with a structural safety level comparable to permanent buildings. Its unique modular design allows for quick and convenient on-site installation, and the optional removal of the front pillar further enhances vehicle traffic safety. Equipped with a structural waterproof drainage channel, it achieves 100% physical waterproofing, ensuring no leakage. With a 25-year lifespan, a one-time investment provides long-term protection for your vehicle.
Transforming parking spaces into clean energy stations—high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules are installed on the roof, generating 1500-2500 kWh of electricity per parking space annually (depending on sunlight conditions). The generated electricity can be directly used for business production, park lighting, or charging electric vehicles, significantly reducing electricity costs; surplus electricity can be fed into the grid for continuous revenue. The photovoltaic panels effectively block sunlight while generating electricity, lowering the temperature below by 3-5°C, making parking less stuffy in the summer. The modern lines of the carport blend harmoniously with the building facade. It supports integrated AC/DC charging piles and energy storage systems, making every parking space a green energy node. Low-carbon and environmentally friendly practices start with parking.
Product Components
Advantage
▪ Highly corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance:
The aluminum alloy material has inherent oxidation resistance, eliminating the need for additional painting for rust prevention. It remains stable even in coastal areas, acid rain environments, and de-icing salt environments, resisting rust over long-term use and significantly reducing subsequent maintenance costs.
▪ Lightweight and high-strength, safe and reliable:
Weighing approximately 60% of steel structures, it can withstand high wind pressure (such as a 60m/s typhoon) and heavy snow loads (1.4KN/m²), while reducing the load-bearing requirements of the foundation.
▪ Quick installation and flexible expansion:
Modular design allows for rapid on-site assembly, and parking spaces or photovoltaic panels can be added later as needed, flexibly adapting to different site requirements.
▪ Self-generated green electricity, direct benefits:
The rooftop photovoltaic modules generate approximately 1500–2500 kWh per parking space annually, which can be used for self-consumption (charging electric vehicles, powering the park) or surplus electricity can be fed into the grid, saving on electricity bills and generating continuous income.
▪ Waterproof, aesthetically pleasing, and provides shade and cooling:
Structural drainage channels provide physical waterproofing, effectively preventing leakage. The photovoltaic canopy blocks sunlight, reducing the temperature under the carport by 3–5°C, and has a modern and clean appearance, enhancing the overall image.

Important Notes:
▶ Confirm Site Foundation Conditions
The ground must be flat and firm to avoid uneven settlement that could lead to structural deformation.
Inspect underground pipelines (cables, water pipes, gas pipes, etc.) in advance to avoid construction damage.
Consider drainage direction to ensure smooth connection between the carport's drainage channels and the site's drainage system.
▶ Strictly Calculate Wind and Snow Loads
Although aluminum alloy has high strength, different cross-sections and connection methods result in varying load-bearing capacities. Calculations or test reports from the manufacturer should be requested based on local 50-year return period wind and snow pressure.
In coastal typhoon areas, it is recommended to use a reinforced support structure and add diagonal bracing.
▶ Pay Attention to Waterproofing Details
The effectiveness of structural waterproofing depends on processing precision and installation quality. Leaks may occur after the sealant or sealing strips at joints age. A clear waterproofing warranty period (e.g., 5-10 years) should be specified.
For large-span carports, a water spray test is recommended to confirm the absence of leaks.
▶ Electrical Safety Cannot Be Ignored
The DC side voltage of photovoltaic systems is relatively high (typically 600V-1500V), requiring proper cable conduit installation, grounding, and lightning protection.
DC Arc Risk: Inverters or optimizers with fast shutdown capabilities should be used.
Since vehicles and personnel pass beneath the carport, it is recommended to install photovoltaic modules with a fire rating of Class A.
▶ Prevent Contact Between Aluminum Alloy and Dissimilar Metals
Direct contact between aluminum alloy and steel, copper, etc., can cause electrochemical corrosion. All connecting bolts, brackets, and module frames should have insulating gaskets or plating for isolation.
Grounding wire connections should use stainless steel or tinned copper terminals to avoid direct contact with aluminum.
▶ Consider Future Maintenance Access
The photovoltaic modules require cleaning, inspection, or replacement; a maintenance walkway or safety anchor point should be provided on the roof of the carport.
It is recommended to equip the carport with retractable cleaning tools or provide a water inlet.
Summary
The aluminum alloy solar carport uses a high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy structure, combined with a photovoltaic power generation roof, providing both sunshade and rain protection as well as clean power generation. Its core advantages are that aluminum alloy does not require painting for rust prevention, resulting in low long-term maintenance costs in harsh environments such as coastal areas and acid rain; its weight is only about 60% of that of steel structures, yet it can withstand typhoons and snow accumulation, and its modular design allows for quick installation and flexible expansion.
