Welcome to Solar Carports Online About Us – Why buy a solar carport?
Welcome to Solar Carports Online About Us. Find out how to buy a solar carport, the first in Australia for the residential market, and find out a little about the people responsible for bringing them to the market. Find out how to buy a solar carport much easier than we found it!
When we decided to open Car Covers and Shelters we wanted to showcase as many fantastic products as possible that can be used to protect your valuable car. We were also early up-takers of solar power in our own home, first with a solar hot water system and then with solar panels. We were given 66c per Kwh generated and the grants just about covered the installation costs. It was a “no-brainer” to get it installed but we had made the decision to ‘go-green’ before we knew about the wonderful offers at the time; it just made sense.
Solar Carports Make Sense
It also just made sense to offer a solar carport. We had seen them in Europe and with the advent of the electric car which we will all be driving soon, it just seemed like a “no-brainer” again to spend the money on a carport that would pay for itself and some, over time.
Solarport – Australia’s leading Solar Car park and Solar Carport structure solutions provider Come to the rescue!
We were shocked to find that no-one in Australia was offering a solar carport for residential/domestic use! We tried every solar company listed in Google with a “dot au”, then we contacted manufacturers of solar frames. It is becoming quite common for companies to supply large commercial solar carports at places of work or even local shopping centres but no-one was prepared to design and sell to the Australian residential market. The idea of importing solar carport kits from Japan or China was also investigated but was just too hard to get them in under our Australian standards. Then “Solarport” came along and we were delighted to find that their market research and thought process was identical to our own – and so Car Covers and Shelters can now offer Australia’s first Solar Carports.
We decided it was worth creating its own website for …. and here you have it!
Residential Solar carports Australia – Version 3!
The first 16 months were difficult. The first version, with it’s expensive Sunpower panels did not sell well because of the price.
The second version was a little more affordable but there were big problems with finding suitable installers and installation prices were too high to make it a good seller. However, SOLARPORT came along specialists in precision solar construction to ensure delivery of your projects on time and on budget and they revamped the design and organised an affordable nation-wide installation network in early 2020 so we now offer solar carports as easy to install as a standard carport at a very reasonable price. In fact, the installation for most is $0.00 as the STC’s (Solar rebate scheme) will cover the total installation cost.
