Solar Carport Market Growth & Trends

The globalsolar carport marketsize is expected to reach USD 961.6 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing global focus on renewable energy and sustainability is driving the adoption of solar carports. In addition, increasing demand for solar carports with integrated electric vehicle charging stations is fueling the growth of the market. Supportive government policies and incentives for solar installations also play a significant role in fostering the growth of the market.

The increasing development and launch of solar-powered carport solutions by various market players across the globe is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in July 2022, Canyon Solar, a manufacturer based in Sydney, Australia, introduced a modular solar photovoltaics (PV) shade structure designed for commercial carport applications. The company has claimed that the installation speed of this system is at least three times faster than that of traditional systems. In addition, as compared to rooftop solar PV, the structure offers superior cost-effectiveness on the basis of a dollar-per-watt structure.

Furthermore, increasing government laws and regulations in the solar carport sector are propelling the growth of the market. In November 2022, the government of France enacted legislation mandating the installation of solar panels in all car parks containing more than 80 spaces. This initiative is part of a broader program that aims to utilize solar panels on abandoned lots, vacant land adjacent to roads and railways, and certain agricultural areas. This is anticipated to contribute 11 GW of power to the grid, equivalent to the energy output of 10 nuclear reactors. Such initiatives by various governments are expected to contribute to the market’s growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic had several impacts on the solar carport industry. The global deployment of various solar projects faced substantial delays during the pandemic due to factors such as disruptions in the supply chain and fluctuating raw material costs. In addition, government incentives and policies in response to the pandemic have influenced the pricing and demand of solar panels. As a result, many planned solar carport projects were postponed or slowed down. However, the pandemic highlighted the importance of sustainability and resilience. This increased awareness may have driven some businesses and individuals to prioritizerenewable energysolutions, including solar panel carports.
