Product Description
The carbon steel cantilever solar carport is a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) product that deeply integrates photovoltaic power generation with parking functionality. Its core structure uses high-strength carbon steel as the main structure, paired with a waterproof system, combining structural stability, power generation efficiency, and space utilization as its three core values. Compared to traditional carports, this product not only provides vehicles with sun and rain protection but also converts solar radiation into clean electricity using solar panels on the roof, achieving a "two-in-one" function.
The cantilever structure is the most prominent design feature of this product, an optimized column layout achieves a "pillar-free" design, providing an unobstructed passage experience for vehicle entry, exit, and parking. The overall design is simple and modern, suitable for diverse scenarios ranging from private family parking spaces to large public parking lots, and offers flexible options such as bidirectional and unidirectional structures.
Product Components
Advantage
▶ Maximized Space Utilization – Minimum Column Parking Experience
The biggest advantage of the cantilever design is the elimination of the pillars on sides, for an unobstructed parking space. Vehicles can enter and exit without having to avoid pillars, significantly reducing the risk of scratches and collisions, making it especially suitable for large vehicles. The pillar foundation is buried underground, making vehicle parking more convenient.
▶ Combining Structural Strength and Durability
Using high-quality Q235B carbon structural steel, the cantilever carports undergo hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection. The core carbon steel structure is designed for a service life of up to 25 years, and manufacturers generally offer a 10-year warranty.
▶ Customizable and Rapid Assembly
On-site installation requires no cutting or drilling, only bolt connections, significantly shortening the construction cycle. It can also flexibly adapt to customers' customized needs in terms of different spans, parking space numbers, and structural forms, meeting the "one plan, one design" project requirements.
▶ Dual Economic and Environmental Benefits
However, the cost can be quickly recovered through national and local electricity subsidies. The photovoltaic system can generate electricity sustainably for 25 years. For example, a 1.6MWp cantilever carport project in Malaysia generates an average of 2 million kWh of electricity annually, meeting 15% of the factory's operational electricity needs.
▶ Enhanced Vehicle Protection and Integrated Charging
Solar carports not only block direct sunlight, solving the problem of high temperatures inside vehicles in open-air parking lots during summer, but also provide a natural on-board charging location for electric vehicle owners. The system can integrate charging piles to achieve a three-in-one system of "parking + charging + power generation".

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
Prior calculations on the structural strength should be done based on 25 or 50 year return period wind and snow pressure.
▶ Pay Attention to Waterproofing Details
The effectiveness of structural waterproofing depends on installation quality. The construction work should be conducted according to manual or drawing provided by Solar First.
Summary
Carbon steel cantilever solar carports are a mature product in the field of building-integrated photovoltaics, combining practicality, economy, and environmental value. Using high-strength carbon steel as its framework and a cantilever structure as its highlight, it achieves unobstructed passage without side pillars; simultaneously, it integrates photovoltaic power generation, generating clean energy benefits for 25 years.
From private family parking spaces to large commercial parking lots, from industrial parks to public institutions, this product can provide customized solutions to fit into different application scenarios.
With the rapid popularization of eletric vehicles, carbon steel solar cantilever carports are not only a green upgrade for parking spaces but also an important infrastructure for achieving low-carbon transformation and enhancing asset value.
