Carports with solar panels ready to charge your home

If you think that the solar carport, pictured above, will charge the vehicle resting under it, you are mistaken. In fact, the solar-hood intends to power those homes who can’t install solar panels due to lack of space or some other reasons. For such homes, Japan-based Sankyo Tateyama Aluminium has actually started selling these carports, dubbed as M.Shade, in Japan.

Twelve highly efficient panels (5.6×5.4m) supply a typical house with a 2,235kW of solar-power per year. It’s just sufficient to meet half of the total energy requirements of any household. You need not worry about the heavy panels since the pillars supporting them are strong enough to carry the weight. Moreover, the port can accommodate two cars with no trouble.

Well, the only area of concern is the hefty price tag reading $40,000 that doesn’t include the installation costs. So, you need to shell out some more for installation as such.
