(1) Cognition: It’s a Revenue Engine, Not a Cost
Most operators miss the “space + economy + brand” value of commercial solar carports. A mall case: 80 open spaces → 100 solar carport spaces, with \(5,880/month electricity savings and 20% more foot traffic.
The “cost-efficient” logic: “parking + power + charging + marketing” model. A 100-space carport with chargers earns over \)60,200/year, paying back in 2.1 years—23 years of pure profit.
(2) Selection: 3 Steps to Avoid Pitfalls
Structure: Choose modular designs (e.g., X-shaped columns) to cut 60% materials and 40% labor. Single-column/double-layer designs add 15-20% parking spaces.
Components: Translucent HJT modules (30% light transmittance) balance efficiency and aesthetics; curved modules for “internet-famous” scenes.
Functions: Add energy storage + chargers. 20 fast-chargers generate $60,480/year—core profit driver.
(3) Usage: 3 Tips for 25+ Years Revenue
Maintenance: Triple waterproof system costs $7k/10 years (45% cheaper). Monthly checks on modules/bolts.
Smart Management: Electronic screens show power/carbon data to boost green image.
Operation: “Parking for discounts” or free parking for NEV owners—turn carports into customer-drawers.
(4) Trust: Real Case Results
A mall solved 3 pain points (few spaces, high bills, no green cert) with the solution: 80→100 spaces, 80% fewer complaints; \(5,880/month savings + \)60,480/year charging revenue; 20% more foot traffic + $7k green subsidy.
