Solar Carports in Urban India: Trends and ROI for Businesses

Solar carports are revolutionizing urban parking in India by combining shade for vehicles with renewable energy generation. As cities like Mumbai and others face land scarcity, these structures maximize underutilized spaces in malls, offices, and residential complexes. Sugatu's 1-bay model parks two cars while mounting 15 modules of 550Wp panels, yielding up to 8kW—enough to power EV chargers or feed the grid via net metering. 

Engineered for Indian extremes, Sugatu carports handle 160km/hr cyclone winds with a 25-year design life and 10-year warranty. Galvanized MS frames resist monsoons, while integrated cabling simplifies O&M. ROI kicks in fast: shading cuts AC loads by 20%, energy sales offset costs within 5-7 years, and green certifications boost property values. February's Budget 2026 previews signal more subsidies for such hybrid infrastructure, aligning with India's 500GW renewable goal. 

For businesses, solar carports attract eco-conscious tenants and qualify for accelerated depreciation. Sugatu streamlines procurement, from site surveys to commissioning, ensuring compliance with CEA standards. Pair with Sugatu's lightning protection for full resilience. Ready to power your parking?
