A comparison of PV system installed on different carport structures shows that the photovoltaic system installed on a monopitch carport structure produces maximum energy as compared to other carport structures, and have a high-performance ratio and specific yield.
This article presents the engineering strategies and economic analysis required for the deployment of solar photovoltaic carports. It thoroughly discusses assessment of solar resources, PV module technology, tilt angle, orientation, and carport design required for this type of installation.
Simulation results of PV system installed on louvered carport structures. For the fixed-type mounting structure, the performance of the photovoltaic system is analyzed at different tilt angles. As shown by Table 5, in the first case the PV module is installed on a louvered carport at a 15° tilt angle.
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the proposed PV system installed on the carport structure is calculated to be 0.12 USD/kWh, while the electricity cost of the conventional utility grid is 0.35 USD/kWh. As a result, the institute can save 0.23 USD per kilowatt-hour by installing a PV system on monopitch carport structure.
