Why We Choose Egret Solar Carport Mounts?

Egret solar carports are suitable for a wide range of applications, from private residential backyards to commercial centers and industrial areas. Our technical team designs and customizes carport structures to meet your specific requirements..Currently, solar carports are mainly made of two materials,aluminum alloy and carbon steel(ZAM).

Solar Aluminum Carports

The aluminum alloy solar carport brackets are made of AL6005-T5 aluminum alloy and undergo anodizing treatment, forming an anti-oxidation layer on the surface, providing excellent corrosion resistance and rust prevention. They are also lightweight and easy to install.

Compared to carbon steel carports, they have no sharp metal burrs, making them ideal for urban commercial parking lots, high-end office buildings, residential communities, and other locations with high requirements for aesthetics and ease of maintenance.

The disadvantages of solar aluminum carport are that its rigidity is relatively weak, its wind and snow resistance is not as high as steel, and it cannot achieve carports with ultra-large spans.

Solar Carbon Steel Carports

Made of carbon steel with a composite zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating, ZAM steel features excellent self-healing performance. It effectively repairs minor cuts and surface scratches on its own. With the same coating thickness, ZAM steel delivers much better durability against corrosion — its service life is 3 to 10 times longer than regular hotdip galvanized steel, and it can pass thousands of hours of salt spray testing without developing red rust. Carbon steel Solar carport structures offer solid rigidity, easily meeting high load demands for large-span and column-free layouts. In terms of cost, ZAM steel is far more affordable compared with aluminum alloy.

As for disadvantages, ZAM steel cannot achieve the same smooth surface finish as aluminum profiles. Because of its unique metallurgical coating process, tiny zinc residues and minor surface bumps may occasionally appear on the steel surface.

Due to global energy shortages, more and more people overseas are using new energy vehicles, leading to a surge in demand for the renovation of old parking lots in office buildings, farms, and shopping malls to serve both charging and parking purposes.

ZAM solar steel carports offer stable pricing. The overall cost of photovoltaic carports continues to decline, making them highly valuable for implementation in both large-scale industrial and commercial projects and small to medium-sized industrial parks.
