Your parking lot sits idle under the blazing Tamil Nadu sun — what if it could power your entire facility while keeping every vehicle shaded? Solar carport structures are transforming how commercial businesses in Tamil Nadu look at unused outdoor space, turning simple parking areas into high-performing energy assets. At AVP Renewables, we design and install commercial solar carport systems that do exactly that — generate clean electricity above ground while protecting vehicles below.
Solar Carports are Canopies, Shelters Or Roofs Over Parking Bays That Are Not Attached To The Building They’re Located By, And Have Photovoltaic Modules Installed On Top Of Them. In Contrast, Rooftop Solar Will Use Up Roof Space While Solar Carports Will Use Only The Area Already Designated For Parking Cars.
To put it differently, when you install rooftop solar panels on your house they will generate power but only shade the surface of your house; however, a solar panel carport provides two benefits: generating electricity and providing shade to everyone who parks under the solar panel carport including employees, customers, and cars. Tamil Nadu Summer Heat can exceed 40 Degrees Celsius above ground and therefore there is a concrete benefit for employee wellness and also an important elements for business owners to protect their vehicles.
Commercial solar carport structures work for nearly any outdoor parking setup, but some industries see the fastest returns.
A solar carport design is much more than just attaching solar panels to posts. In Tamil Nadu, these structures have to endure the Northeast monsoon, cyclonic coastal winds, and the intense summer UV exposure. At AVP Renewables, each solar carport design is initiated with a site-specific structural investigation.
The steel framework of the solar carport structures that we manufacture is manufactured from quality steel and has the correct coatings applied to them to ensure proper durability and resistance against corrosion so that they can be used in all types of climatic conditions within Tamil Nadu, whether they are humid or coastal. Solar panels will be selected and installed at the correct tilt for maximum energy output throughout the year while ensuring that the structure is safe structurally; this requires knowing how to position the solar panels based on Tamil Nadu’s latitude.
We offer both single cantilever and double cantilever solar carport designs to suit different parking requirements.
Our team recommends the best design based on your parking layout and space availability.
Delay in solar carport installation is the most common reason that businesses give for not choosing solar power. According to experts, the parking lots have not to be totally closed during the whole process of carport with solar installation if the installation of carport with solar is well-planned.
From beginning to end, we deliver turnkey solar carport projects that include everything from site inspection and understanding the layout, shading, and electrical grid connection to finalizing all required engineering documents and assisting in making sure that all necessary permits are obtained for both the construction phase and operation of your new solar carport. All civil works and/or electrical upgrades will be completed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience as possible. Our experienced team has completed hundreds of projects and will manage every aspect of your solar carport project from start to finish.
Typical commercial solar carports are typically more expensive than regular residential/affordable solar rooftops on a per-kilowatt basis, since both the structure itself and the solar energy equipment are often included in the total price of a commercial solar carport. Still, many businesses will find that commercial solar carports provide long-term financial value through the generation of renewable or green electricity, or through the reduction of the monthly utility bill effecting the bottom line (reduction of energy costs).
Commercial solar carport with capacity from 100 kW can serve manufacturing unit or IT park in Tamil Nadu. The payback period that business usually experience would be from 4.5 to 6 years. Then for the rest of 19-20 years, the system is capable of producing almost electricity free of cost. If we consider the accelerated depreciation benefits under the Indian tax law, the payback will be reduced even more.
Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA) continues to encourage commercial solar adoption. Net metering under TANGEDCO allows surplus units generated by your solar panel parking structure to be banked against nighttime consumption — making your investment work round the clock, not just during sunlight hours.
AVP Renewables has delivered solar energy projects across residential, commercial, and utility-scale segments in Tamil Nadu. Our in-house structure manufacturing capability sets us apart — most EPC companies outsource fabrication, introducing delays and quality gaps. We control the full value chain: design, fabrication, installation, and long-term AMC.
A solar carport structure is a specially designed canopy installed over parking areas with solar panels mounted on top. It generates electricity while providing shade and protection for vehicles.
Rooftop solar systems use building roof space, whereas solar carports utilize parking areas. Solar carports offer dual benefits—power generation and shaded parking—without occupying rooftop space.
Yes, solar carports are ideal for factories, IT parks, hospitals, educational institutions, malls, and any commercial space with large parking areas.
Typically, 1 kW of solar capacity requires around 80–100 sq. ft. of parking space. The total area depends on the system size and parking layout.
The cost varies based on capacity, design (single or double cantilever), and site conditions. Solar carports are generally more expensive than rooftop systems due to structural components but offer higher functional value.
