Solar Carport Installation
Have you noticed that more and more people are installing solar carport solutions? Your neighbor, boss, and best friend, but why? Solar carports are emerging as a popular solution for vehicle protection and renewable energy generation, driven by the growing demand for cost-effective and sustainable options. More and more homeowners and commercial space owners want to reduce their dependence on traditional energy sources.
The rising energy cost has led property owners to explore new alternatives. Sustainable parking solutions provide shelter and protection for vehicles from the damaging effects of the sun and weather and generate clean, renewable energy by installing solar panels on the parking structure.
However, there are challenges to consider, such as the initial cost of installation, the design process, and subsequent installation to ensure optimal orientation and structural integrity of the solar panels.
Find out how AGT Solar Carport Specialist Florida helps you make a more comfortable transition to clean energy.
Let’s see how!

See Our Work!
We share with you two of the projects we have had the opportunity to manage successfully:
Lockheed Martin Orlando
A large 2MW project, which we developed in several phases and completed in 2016. AGT installed 6,688 solar modules, generating about 3.41 million kilowatts per hour. It implied an annual reduction in electricity costs of 370 thousand dollars.
This is one of the state’s most significant green energy parking structures, protecting more than 592 vehicles.
Resolve Marine
It was a unique project that sought to optimize the electrical consumption of the property and the protection of 22 vehicles. After meticulous attention to the infrastructure conditions and the energy needs of the Resolve Marine office at AGT, we installed solar panels that generate 88,357 kWh, reducing the annual electric bill by $10,000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you have any questions? Please find out more about our Parking lot solar panels.
How does the solar carport installation process work?
First, we assess the site’s suitability, including available space, orientation, and shading. Then, the design and engineering phase begins, obtaining the necessary permits and approvals. Once everything is in order, we will build the carport structure and install the solar panels. Finally, we made the electrical connections.
What maintenance is required for solar carports?
Solar carports require minimal maintenance—regular cleaning of the solar panels to remove dust and debris to ensure optimal performance. In addition, they need periodic inspections of the structure and electrical components.
What are the financial aspects of installing a solar carport?
While the initial investment may seem significant, solar carports can offer long-term cost savings by reducing electricity expenses and providing potential revenue from excess power generation. In addition, tax incentives for solar carports, rebates, and net metering programs can offset upfront costs and improve the project’s financial viability.
Can solar carports be customized to match branding or specific design requirements?
Yes. Customization options extend to color, lighting, electric vehicle charging stations, and integration with security systems, allowing companies to create a consistent, branded solar carport solution.
Can solar carports be integrated into existing parking lots without disrupting operations?
Solar carports can be seamlessly integrated into existing parking lots without significantly disrupting operations. During installation, we carefully plan to minimize disruption to parking spaces and traffic flow.
Conclusion
Don’t doubt it anymore!
Solar carports offer many benefits to business owners, from tax incentives and revenue generation to cost savings on electricity expenses, increased property value, reduced carbon footprint, and promotion of sustainability.
