This single column steel solar carport features a horizontal (0°) panel layout, making it ideal for snow-free regions. With low construction height, wide roof coverage, and durable steel structure, it offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for commercial parking areas such as shopping malls, golf courses, and outdoor parking lots.

1.Why Choose a Horizontal Solar Carport Structure?

In regions where snow load is not a concern, horizontal solar panel installation offers unique advantages. With a 0-degree tilt design, this solar carport creates a low-profile structure that blends easily into existing parking environments while maximizing roof coverage for PV modules.

The wide canopy area allows more vehicles to be protected from sun and rain while generating clean energy at the same time.

2.Single-Column Design for Better Parking Experience

This carport adopts a north–south single-column support structure, leaving more open space between parking bays.

This design significantly improves:

  • Vehicle entry and exit

  • Door opening clearance

  • Overall traffic flow in parking areas

It is especially suitable for commercial locations with frequent vehicle movement.

3.Strong Steel Structure for Long-Term Stability

Both the columns and mounting rails are manufactured from high-strength carbon steel, providing:

  • Excellent load-bearing capacity

  • High resistance to deformation

  • Long service life in outdoor environments

This makes the system reliable for long-term commercial operation with minimal maintenance.
