Business case

Energy Ports
Solar-Powered Carports

Energy Ports offers the highest Wp per m2 in the market. Every case is unique but generally we see that the payback time of our system is between 5 and 10 years.
Knowing the grid challenges and negative energy prices, the best business case is the combination with high self consumption, E-Charging and smart battery solutions. This proposition is in line with the strategy of most businesses to be energy self-sufficient and less depending on the grid.

Safety is paramount

Energy Ports views the spaces beneath its solar carports as public areas where safety is paramount. While Dutch 'Bouwbesluit' regulations provide general Consequence Classes (CC), they lack specific solar carport guidelines, unlike German standards which offer detailed requirements. Energy Ports adheres to the stricter Dutch CC2 class, aligning with German norms for both construction and solar panel glass roofs. Through rigorous testing of our own panels, we ensure maximum safety for all applications.

IEC 61730 Fire class B

IEC 61730 with Fire Class B is an international standard that defines safety requirements for glass-to-glass photovoltaic (PV) modules. This certification ensures modules meet strict fire safety and mechanical resistance requirements, validating their suitability for safe installation and operation.

EN 12600 pendulum - fall through test

The EN 12600 test, a European standard for glass strength assessment, simulates human impact on glass panels to verify safety in overhead applications. While not standard for bi-facial glass panels, Energy Ports voluntarily conducts this rigorous testing to ensure superior safety in its Pergola Solar carport system.

IEC 61215 Mechanical load test

The IEC 61215 mechanical load test is an international standard that evaluates the durability and safety of crystalline silicon PV modules under simulated real-world conditions, ensuring reliable performance throughout their lifetime.

Rain water management

Dutch regulations require effective rainwater drainage (HWA) for carports and covered structures to prevent flooding and manage urban runoff. Energy Ports meets these requirements through an integrated water-management system that ensures efficient and sustainable drainage.

Building made easy

Our patented Bell Lock® and Ridge Lock® systems cut panel installation time by 50%, reducing costs and site disruption while enabling safer below-level installation.

Short installation time

While foundation work varies with soil conditions, the solar carport installation process is streamlined through pre-assembled components and minimal SKUs. The system's efficient design, including integrated cable management and gutter systems, ensures quick assembly with minimal site disruption and waste.

Maintenance

Panel damage is inevitable over time, which is why our ICS design enables single-panel replacement from below without disturbing adjacent panels. A simple bolt release allows panel removal through lateral movement, making maintenance quick and efficient.

Minimal disrupstion in your day to day business

At Energy Ports, we understand the importance of a running business. With our design, you will have minimal disruption and blockage of your space.

Aesthetically designed

A carport remains in public view for at least 25 years, making aesthetic design and finish quality essential. Our minimalist approach, featuring clean joints, coordinated colors, and streamlined components, creates an impression of elegance and permanence while ensuring visual harmony in any setting.

Transparent Dual-Glass Monocrystalline HJT Solar Cell Laminate

The aesthetic integration of our carport system is achieved through black solar cells set in transparent glass panels (610W), complemented by anthracite RAL 7016 powder-coated frames, gutters, and construction elements. The panels' 5% sunlight transmittance creates a pleasant ambiance beneath the carport, while the large panel size ensures a seamless, homogeneous appearance from below.

Powder-coated aluminium structures

The powder-coated under-construction, gutter system, and PV frames create a seamless aesthetic while providing superior durability and environmental protection for all aluminum components.

Multiple Function Integration in Limited SKUs

Our streamlined design integrates multiple functions into single components, reducing complexity while enhancing functionality. The innovative gutter system combines panel support with main and condensation water management, while integrated rails accommodate cable management and LED lighting. Additional features include snow protection caps and specialized rainwater connectors, ensuring efficient water management from roof to ground.
