The ground clearance of solar carport means the height from the solar panel lowest point end off the ground. When building a photovoltaic carport, some people always think that the higher it is, the more convenient it is. And some people think that the lower on height the cheaper on cost. How do companies that specialize in solar mounting brackets think about it?

First of all, it depends on what kind of car the carport is used to park. If it is an ordinary car or small truck, the height can be 2.5-3 meters, which is beautiful and generous. If it is used to park large trucks, you can choose 4-4.5 meters, the height is appropriate.

Secondly, it depends on the local climatic conditions. If the maximum wind speed of the installation city is really high, the height of the carport only needs to be higher than the height of the body and people, so that the structure will be relatively stable, much to high may cause it shake.

Next, it depends on whether there are obstructions on the sun-facing surface of the solar panels of the carport, such as low walls. In order to ensure the efficiency of power generation, the ground clearance should be similar to the obstruction’s height.

Finally, of course, the budget of the project must be combined. Choose the appropriate material of solar panel carport, combined with the strength of the structure, and then determine the height you are satisfied with.

It is hoped that each carport project can finally achieve a suitable height from the ground under the premise of meeting the budget, meeting the intensity, and ensuring the efficiency of power generation. If still any doubts, welcome to consult Sunforson team via info@sunforson.com.
