Solar carport and SoloPort articles

Can I buy the SoloPort solar carport as a private customer?

End users can purchase the solar carport at www.soloport.com or contact the SoloPort sales team for a quote in German or English. You can reach the private customer sales team at info@soloport.com or +49 7158-9181545.

As a buyer, do I have to obtain building permits myself and what support does TOPREGAL offer?

Yes, as the buyer you are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits for your solar carport. TOPREGAL will assist you by providing you with construction drawings free of charge upon request. Please note that any conditions and fees that may be incurred, such as permit fees, costs for possible surveys, replacement planning and verifiable static calculations, must be borne by you.

Does TOPREGAL's support include the provision of a static calculation?

No, unfortunately, TOPREGAL support does not include static calculation. Such a calculation would always refer to the respective local conditions. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a generally valid static calculation.

What guarantees does TOPREGAL offer when selling the solar carport?

We give you a 10-year warranty on the solar panels, a 5-year warranty on the carport frame and a 1-year warranty on all other SoloPort components. Please refer to our warranty terms for more information.

Do the carports only come in the dimensions mentioned or can they be customized?

We offer the carports in fixed dimensions that cannot be customized. The dimensions mentioned in the technical data cannot be changed. We also do not offer other materials for the frame construction, except those shown here.

Can I see the carport live?

At our three locations in Germany (Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), we offer the opportunity to view and purchase the carport directly on site by making an appointment with our SoloPort experts. Please send your appointment request to info@soloport.com.

Is it possible to line up several carports?

We offer add-on variants of all carports that can be attached to an existing SoloPort carport to create a double carport or a carport for three vehicles. However, a separate inverter and control cabinet must be connected for the operation of each solar carport.

How high are the loads? (roof load, snow load, wind load)?

The carport has a roof/snow load of 80kg/m2 (0,8 kN/m²). Regardless of whether it is a carport for cars or RVs. Attachment bays can also bear the same loads. The wind load is 108km/h, so it can withstand bad weather.

Is the module roof waterproof?

Yes, the module roof is waterproof. Horizontal and vertical gutters are installed below the solar panels to drain rainwater passing through to the lowest point of the carport. Commercially available rain gutters can be installed at this point to divert the rainwater to the desired location.

The solar panels do not have a separate seal between them, so the water can easily drain through the gutters. Of course, if it is windy and raining, it is possible that it will rain in to the sides. From above, the rain is neatly drained away via the gutters.

However, every system has its limits. In heavy rain, it cannot be ruled out that due to the large amount of water, it will sometimes come through the solar roof.

Do you also offer assembly?

No, we do not offer an assembly service. Like a standard carport, the carport can be easily assembled by 2 - 3 people following our assembly instructions. If you need a foundation that you cannot build yourself, please contact a garden- and landscaping contractor.

Is an electrician needed to connect the carport?

No, you do not need an electrician to put the carport into operation. The control cabinet is delivered completely pre-assembled by us and the modules are plugged together and connected according to instructions.

Which batteries are installed? (type, cycles)

We use lead-gel batteries (250 Ah), which offer at least 800-1000 charge cycles. However, these cycle specifications depend on several factors: Thus, the number of cycles can also be higher or lower.

Can I connect the system to my home network?

We offer the carport as a pure stand-alone solution. Feeding into the house grid is not intended. It is possible, however, to replace our inverter with a hybrid inverter (alternating current) if you still want to feed into the grid. However, we do not carry this variant in our product range.
