A solar carport in Raipur turns unused parking into a power plant. Here is when it makes sense.
Quick answer: choose a carport when roof space is short or when shade has value; otherwise rooftop is cheaper per kW.
| Factor | Rooftop | Carport |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per kW | Lower | Higher |
| Shade benefit | No | Yes |
| Space used | Roof | Parking |
| Install time | Days | Weeks |
Check local permissions and insurance.
| Item | Rooftop | Carport |
|---|---|---|
| Cost for 20 kW | Rs 8 - 10 lakh | Rs 11 - 14 lakh |
| Shade value | None | 20 car bays |
| Annual generation | About 28,000 units | About 28,000 units |
These are placeholders; request a quote that separates the plant from the structure so you see the cost of the shade.
