Solar Carport Modern Installation Manual
Version 1.1
Description
Solarston e® Solar Carport produces electricity for self-consumption and can charge an
electric car. Surplus energy can be sold back to the grid – that way the carport pays for
itself. Solarstone®’s building-integrated solar panels ensure resource eciency, a
pleasing appearance and water-tightness. The most modern components of the PV
industry are used in the carports, which have passed safety tests.
With Solarstone®’s awarded and patented Click-on® technology, we can use 390 W
solar panels and achieve high productivity even on a small roof surface. The Solar
Carport will generate electricity for at least 25 years. The carport is incredibly durable
and was designed, developed and tested for the Nordic market!
Solarstone®’s Solar Carport comes with an integrated 22 kW EV charger (optional). For
optimal gains the carport should be connected to the power grid. This will allow you to
use surplus energy for self-consumption or charge your electric car at any time of day.
If desired, you can make a simple modification on your phone to charge your car with
solar energy only, and no additional electricity will be purchased from the grid.
Solar power for self-consumption
Earn credit by selling surplus energy
Charge electric vehicles
Less dependence on electricity prices
Solar Carport Modern and Modern Plus can accommodate two cars and have
respectively a 5.85 kWp and 7.8 kWp solar roof which will produce approximately 5000
and 7000 kWh per year. The carport’s sides can be cladded with timber boards or
plexiglass to provide even more protection against dierent weather conditions.
Protects cars from direct sunlight
Provides protection from the weather
Oers functionality similar to that of a garage
Electric car charging option – do so economically and using renewable energy
Less dependence on fluctuations in electricity prices
