Ecovision successfully delivered a solar PV system designed to power a car port with renewable energy. This project showcases the innovative use of solar technology to provide clean energy while reducing carbon emissions. The installation not only enhances sustainability but also creates an eco-friendly infrastructure that supports renewable energy goals.
Installing solar panels onto carports generates clean, renewable energy that can be used on-site or to charge electric vehicles.
Project Details
- System Capacity: 10.32 kWp
- Annual Energy Generation: 9,660 kWh
- Carbon Savings: 1,127 kg of CO₂ per year, equivalent to planting 50 trees annually.
Key Components:
- Solar Panels: 24 high-efficiency Trina Solar 430W monocrystalline panels with a 21% module efficiency and 25-year output warranty.
- Inverter: Alpha ESS 10 kW hybrid inverter with app-based monitoring for real-time energy insights.
- Battery Storage: 8.2 kWh Alpha ESS Smile T-10 battery system to optimize self-consumption of solar energy.
- Mounting System: A flat roof mounting system designed for durability and easy installation.
Installation Features
- Tailored Design: The system was custom-designed to integrate seamlessly into the car port, maximising available roof space while considering shading and orientation.
- Quick Installation: The project was completed in just 2–3 days, minimizing disruption to the site and ensuring a smooth transition to renewable energy.
- Smart Energy Management:
- The hybrid inverter and battery system enable the storage of excess energy for use during non-sunny periods, optimising self-consumption and reducing dependency on the grid.
- Real-time monitoring allows users to track energy generation and consumption through a user-friendly app.
Sustainability and Financial Benefits
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: By generating over 9,660 kWh of renewable energy annually, the system offsets significant CO₂ emissions, contributing to the global fight against climate change.
- Energy Independence: The battery storage system allows energy generated during the day to be used at night or during cloudy weather, reducing reliance on the grid.
- Cost Savings: Lower electricity bills and eligibility for Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments ensure a strong return on investment over the system's lifespan.
