Global Commercial Solar Carport Market is valued approximately at USD 927.31 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 9.13% over the forecast period 2023-2030. A commercial solar carport is a structure designed to offer shelter for parked vehicles while incorporating photovoltaic (PV) panels on its canopy to harness solar energy. Positioned in parking lots or open spaces near commercial establishments, these carports serve a dual purpose by protecting vehicles generates clean, renewable electricity from sunlight. Businesses and organizations benefit from reduced energy costs, a smaller carbon footprint, and a commitment to sustainable practices. The photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electricity, contributing to on-site power needs or providing excess energy to the grid for potential revenue generation. Commercial solar carports offer practical and aesthetic benefits, enhancing parking areas while promoting environmental responsibility and renewable energy practices. The rise in energy costs, growing environmental concerns and sustainability initiatives, coupled with the increased adoption of energy storage are the major factors that are primarily attributing to the market demand across the globe.
The growing popularity of EVs is creating a demand for charging infrastructure. Solar carports are integrated with EV charging stations, providing a convenient and sustainable way to power electric vehicles. According to Statista, in 2021, there were nearly 16.9 million electric vehicles in operation around the world. Also, in 2022, the electric vehicle in operation reached approximately 25.9 million units globally, with all-electric vehicles comprising roughly 69.5 percent of the total plug-in electric vehicle market. Thus, these aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of Commercial Solar Carport Market during the estimated period. Moreover, the rising integration with smart technologies, as well as increased outstanding benefits of solar carports over alternative technologies sector present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the lack of technology to store solar energy and the high installation costs are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Commercial Solar Carport Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Europe dominated the market in 2022 with largest market share owing to the fact that numerous European nations have instituted favorable policies and incentives to advance renewable energy, particularly solar power. These measures encompass feed-in tariffs, tax credits, and subsidies, rendering solar carports an appealing investment opportunity. Whereas, Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast years. The rising adoption of electric vehicles, expanding applications in the commercial sector, surge in demand for commercial solar carports, and increasing adoption of electric vehicles by both private entities and government agencies are significantly propelling the market demand across the region.
