Products Description
Waterproof Solar Carport Structure
The Waterproof Solar Carport Structure from Longsun Green is an integrated mounting and drainage system that converts parking areas into power-generating assets. Engineered for commercial, municipal, and residential applications, this Waterproof Solar Carport Structure combines high load capacity with active water management. Built from hot-dip galvanized steel or 6005-T5 aluminum, each Waterproof Solar Carport Structure is rated for 60 m/s wind loads and 1.6 kN/m² snow loads, ensuring reliable performance in severe weather without compromising parking layouts.More details please contact Amber atamber@longsungreen.com

Product Advantages
Integrated Mechanical WaterproofingUnlike surface sealants that degrade over time, this Waterproof Solar Carport Structure uses BIPV guide rails and cross channels to capture rainwater and route it into integrated fascia gutters. EPDM gaskets seal panel-to-panel gaps, so cars stay dry and the canopy remains free of ponding.
Corrosion-Resistant MaterialsColumns, beams, and base plates are Q355B structural steel with hot-dip galvanizing. Rails and clamps are extruded 6005-T5 aluminum with clear anodizing. Fasteners are 304 stainless steel (316 available for coastal areas). EPDM pads or nylon washers separate aluminum from steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
High Load Capacity & Structural ComplianceEach Waterproof Solar Carport Structure is engineered to meet local codes, with calculations following ASCE 7, AS/NZS 1170, EN 1991, or JIS C8955. Wind resistance reaches 60 m/s, and snow loads up to 1.6 kN/m². Wide column spans (5.0–5.5 m) and open-bay designs eliminate central posts, giving drivers room to maneuver and open doors freely.
Flexible ConfigurationsSingle-Post Structure: Cantilever beam design maximizes door-opening clearance. A typical bay covers two parking spaces with clear heights of 2.2–2.5 m.Dual-Post Structure: Two columns per span for heavy snow loads, wider arrays, or keeping footings out of tire paths.
Rapid InstallationMajor connections come pre-assembled from the factory. No field welding required. Crews set columns, lift beams, and bolt frames, significantly cutting lift time and on-site labor.
Applications
Commercial & Industrial FacilitiesInstall the Waterproof Solar Carport Structure in C&I parking lots to shade employee and visitor vehicles while generating solar power for facility operations or EV charging stations.
Municipal & Institutional CampusesPublic facilities and university campuses benefit from a Waterproof Solar Carport Structure that reduces heat island effects and provides covered parking for fleets and commuters.
Residential CarportsMulti-family and single-family homes can integrate this Waterproof Solar Carport Structure to protect vehicles and lower household electricity bills through on-site solar generation.
Open Surface LotsUnshaded parking areas become productive assets with a Waterproof Solar Carport Structure, ideal for retail centers, airports, and park-and-ride locations.
FAQ
01.What is the difference between single-post and dual-post structures?
Single-post uses a cantilever beam to maximize parking clearance; dual-post provides extra support for heavy snow, wider arrays, or to keep footings away from tire paths.
02.How does the waterproofing work without sealants?
The Waterproof Solar Carport Structure uses mechanical drainage: EPDM gaskets close panel gaps, rain flows into built-in guide rails and cross channels, then exits through fascia gutters and downspouts.
03.Can this system be installed in coastal environments?
Yes. Upgrade fasteners to 316 stainless steel. The duplex coating option (powder coat over galvanizing) adds extra protection for steel components.

Why Us?
Pre-Assembled Components for Faster InstallationWe ship major connections pre-assembled. No welding on site. Your crew simply sets columns, lifts beams, and bolts the frame - reducing crane time and labor hours.
Strict Quality Control
All steel components are hot-dip galvanized; aluminum parts are clear anodized. EPDM pads prevent galvanic contact. Fasteners undergo tensile testing. Finished systems are inspected before shipment.
Engineering Support for Any Site
We provide site-specific structural calculations stamped for local permitting. Whether you need a Waterproof Solar Carport Structure for a coastal C&I lot or a municipal campus, we deliver compliant drawings and bill of materials.
Global Shipping & Responsive Support
