Solar panels are a great addition to any home as they provide an eco-friendly energy source for your home. However, some of the main drawbacks of solar panels are their sometimes intrusive appearance and need for space. By trusting Infinium Solar for our San Jose solar carports, we solve both of these issues. Carports at home can prevent your vehicles from being exposed to poor weather and increase their lifespan; why not use that space for another purpose, like saving the environment and reducing your electric bill?

Why Choose a Solar Carport?

Carports are an affordable and effective option for protecting your vehicle, even though they don’t provide as much security or protection as a garage. A solar carport has been built with solar panels to provide energy for your home or business. Adding solar panels to a carport versus your home reduces the risk of roof damage or uninstalling and reinstalling solar panels to replace your home’s roof, which can be costly. This makes solar carports a safer financial choice. It may also be easier to maintain depending on the type of carport and the pitch of its roof.

How Solar Carports Benefit You

Solar carports offer the best of both worlds by optimizing your current amount of space by increasing productivity. Not only are you providing an area to protect your car or host events, but you’re saving money and protecting the environment by using solar panels. 

Advantages of solar carports include:

  • Significant savings: Solar carports minimize energy expenses because of solar energy, but they also reduce the cost of maintaining where your cars are parked because they prevent rain, ice, and snow from building up or causing unsafe situations.
  • Incentives: There are available federal solar tax credits on the residential and commercial levels that can reduce the cost of a solar carport by up to 30%. There may also be state-specific incentives, including rebates or tax credits.
  • EV charging: It may seem challenging to accommodate an electric vehicle at your home or business because of their charging requirements. However, EV charging becomes significantly more manageable since the panels and batteries will be stored and connected to the carport. This reduces the time you may spend at a public station and can significantly increase your potential employee or customer base.
  • More solar power:  If for some reason you can’t have a rooftop application or there’s not enough space to fully power your home, a carport increases the space significantly to increase your savings, offset your carbon footprint, and protect your vehicle or event from the weather.

What Maintenance Do Solar Carports Require?

Maintaining a solar carport is essential for ensuring its longevity and optimal performance. While solar carports are designed to be durable and require minimal upkeep, regular maintenance can help prevent potential issues and enhance energy efficiency. Infinium Solar recommends a few key practices to keep your solar carport in excellent condition and maximize its benefits, especially in areas like San Jose, where sunny days are abundant.

Maintenance tasks for solar carports include:

  • Regular Inspections: Periodically check for any visible damage to the solar panels, structural supports, and electrical components. Look for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • Cleaning the Solar Panels: Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and leaves can accumulate on solar panels, reducing their efficiency. Cleaning the panels with water and a soft cloth or hiring a professional service ensures maximum sunlight absorption.
  • Checking Electrical Components: Inspect inverters and wiring for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure that connections are tight and that there are no frayed wires.
  • Monitoring Performance: Keep an eye on energy output using monitoring software. Sudden drops in production may indicate a need for maintenance or repairs.
  • Trimming Surrounding Vegetation: Ensure that trees or bushes do not shade the solar panels, as even partial shading can significantly decrease energy production.
  • Inspecting the Carport Structure: Examine the structural integrity of the carport itself. Check for rust, cracks, or any signs of instability.

Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your solar carport but also maximizes your return on investment. By adhering to these simple upkeep practices, you can enjoy the full benefits of clean, renewable energy while also providing shelter for your vehicles. In San Jose, where sunlight is plentiful, maintaining your solar carport is especially crucial for ensuring that you harness as much solar energy as possible. Infinium Solar is dedicated to helping you maintain your solar carport, providing expert advice and services tailored to meet your needs.
