Solar Carports in 2025: The Next Big Upgrade for Homes & Businesses
Solar carports have gained massive popularity in India in 2025 as homeowners, offices, hotels, and commercial complexes adopt them as a dual-purpose solution: **covered parking + clean energy generation**. With EV adoption rising, solar carports are now being used as integrated EV charging hubs as well.
1. A perfect solution when rooftop space is limited
Many households and businesses lack ideal rooftop space due to:
- Water tanks
- Shading issues
- Multiple floors
- Weak roofs
Solar carports unlock unused parking areas for energy production.
2. Carports are ideal for EV charging integration
Modern solar carports now include:
- EV charging outlets
- Smart charging controllers
- Load balanced charging for peak hours
A 5 kW carport can generate sufficient power for daily EV charging requirements.
3. High-strength structures with long lifespan
New carport designs include:
- Hot-dip galvanized structures
- Wind-resistant designs
- Integrated cable management
- Waterproof roofing systems
4. Strong demand from hotels, malls & institutions
Commercial spaces are converting parking lots into energy-producing assets. Solar carports offer shade, branding area, and new revenue streams through EV charging.
5. Why carports improve ROI
- Production comparable to rooftop solar
- No need to modify existing buildings
- Better panel tilt for higher yield
- Long-term structural returns
