This particular dual carport covered with 20sq. meters Solar panels is a completely wooden structure with an 11deg tilted roof to optimize solar harvesting efficiency. The rear part features a room for the inverter and a backup battery to allow for harvesting during daytime and charging a fully electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid (PEHV) car.The carport alone delivers 5000kWh per year in this 52deg north location in Germany. Output would be much higher in more southern locations.
