Solar Carport Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth Opportunities, Future Trends, Covid-19 Impact, SWOT Analysis, Competition and Forecasts 2022 to 2030

The Global Solar Carport Market Is Expected To Grow From USD 1.02 Billion In 2017 To USD 2.81 Billion In 2030, At A CAGR Of 10.8% From 2017 To 2030.
Solar Carport Market Overview:
A solar carport is a structure designed to protect a vehicle from the elements, while also installing solar panels to the roof or facade to generate electricity. The importance of solar carports is their ability to provide both shelter and renewable energy generation, making them a valuable addition to any community.
Solar carports are elevated canopies built to cover parking lots, as opposed to panels that are installed over existing carport structures. They are another form of the solar system. Unlike other photovoltaic systems, the solar carport system also provides users with a sunshade for parking their cars by increasing the installation height of the solar panels. Solar carports have a lot in common with ground-mounted solar panels, which are angled panel modules that are mounted on the ground rather than on the roof. The biggest advantage of solar carports and solar patio covers is that they do not require additional land like ground installations. Therefore, solar panel carports use space more efficiently than ground-mounted panels. If you are concerned about efficient use of space, you should consider installing a solar carport on a ground mount system. Overall, a solar panel carport has fewer constraints or conflicts than ground-mounted solar and can be considered preferable in any case.
Solar Carport market size, estimates and forecasts are provided in terms of sales volume (K units) and revenue (million USD), with historical and forecast data for the period 2017 to 2030, with 2022 being considered as the base year. This report segments the global Solar Carport market in detail. Regional market sizes related to products by type, by application, and by player are also delivered.

By Region:
The regional solar carport market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from 2022 to 2030. The growth is attributed to rising awareness about carbon footprint and rising disposable income, especially in developing countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Rising number of residential buildings due to rapid urbanization in these countries will drive the demand for solar carports over the forecast period. The North American region accounted for more than 25% of the global revenue in 2019, owing to the growing popularity of commercial establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and retail stores offering free or paid outdoor parking spaces. Moreover, the presence of well-known players operating in the region has resulted in a higher penetration rate as compared to other regions.

Significant Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Since solar energy is free because it is a natural energy source, it is mainly a widely used renewable energy source. Other factors driving the market include solar carports proven to be suitable for various climate conditions. In snowy regions, they protect cars from snow and ice while reducing the need for plowing. In warmer climates, a carport provides shade, keeping the car much cooler than if it were directly exposed to the sun. A solar carport can really turn unproductive and unused space into a sustainable productive investment. A solar carport is a great way to add solar photovoltaic power to a property without altering it, while providing shelter for vehicles. Furthermore, charging points can be incorporated to charge electric vehicles. Also, some areas are remote and off-grid, thus the availability of solar carports in these areas without electricity will drive the market.
On the other hand, high installation and maintenance cost of solar carports restrains the market growth. For photovoltaic installations, a large initial capital investment is required. Other market constraints include weather-dependent solar carports. In cloudy and rainy days, they will not work effectively. Also, storing solar energy in batteries is very expensive. It also needs a place in the store where it won't get wet and damage the battery.
