As an innovative energy integration solution, the “solar + carport” model—generating electricity above while consuming it below—is emerging as a highlight of green development. Compared to traditional mounting systems, flexible mounting systems offer distinct advantages in design, cost, and construction efficiency. This article delves into the benefits of flexible mounting systems in solar carports and provides strategies to reduce construction costs effectively.
Unlike traditional mounts, flexible mounts do not require individual support structures above each parking space. This significantly saves vertical space and provides greater flexibility and freedom in carport design. With large and adjustable spans, flexible mounts meet high-strength requirements while reducing the quantity of mounts needed. This preserves parking functionality and maximizes land-use efficiency.
In addition, flexible mounts are highly versatile and can easily adapt to complicated terrains. For carports built on slopes or with drainage needs, flexible mounts conform to the terrain to ensure optimal installation angles and layouts for solar modules. Even on uneven or undulating ground, flexible mounts can adjust their layout and span to ensure stable installation.
Most components of the flexible mounting system can be prefabricated and assembled in the factory, reducing on-site workload, shortening construction timelines, and lowering labor costs. Additionally, flexible mounts are durable and resistant to cracking, minimizing maintenance and replacement needs over time.
Flexible mounting system, with their unique advantages, hold immense potential for application in solar carports. In practical use, to reduce the construction costs of flexible mounting solar carports, attention can be focused on the following key points:
1.Optimize Mount Design
Utilize features such as terrain slope and orientation, and adopt standardized, modular designs to reduce customization costs. Adding extra support points between mount rows can distribute loads and reduce the required size and cost of individual rods. Huge Energy’s flexible mounts are designed to account for wind and snow loads, ensuring structural stability through well-thought-out support structures and connection methods.2.Plan Layouts Strategically
Reduce shading and obstructions by rationally planning mount spacing and solar module tilt angles. This maximizes sunlight utilization and improves module efficiency.
3.Select High-Quality Materials
Choose durable, lightweight materials based on the carport’s load requirements and local weather conditions. For example, Huge Energy’s aluminum alloy mounts feature high strength, corrosion resistance, and precise processing to adapt to extreme environmental conditions.
In summary, flexible mounts save space, reduce costs, and enhance construction efficiency while adapting to diverse terrains. They ensure the stable operation and high efficiency of solar carports. By replacing traditional carport roofs with solar modules, they provide shade and rain protection while generating sustainable revenue for over 25 years.
