Solar Carport Yield Estimator
A parking canopy is wasted roof. Enter the bays or area you could cover, adjust the panel density and the specific yield for your city, and get an indicative system size and the units it might make in a year.
Roughly 15 sqm of canopy per bay = 150 sqm total.
How much panel power fits per sqm — ~160–200 for modern modules.
Annual units per kWp — varies by city, orientation, tilt and shading (~1400–1600 across much of India).
From a ~25.5 kWp system over 150 sqm — about 105 units a day on average.
That generation can offset the building load, run EV chargers, or export to the grid under your DISCOM’s net-metering policy. Real output depends on orientation, tilt, shading, dust and temperature — an installer models your actual site.
Indicative only. This is a simple area × density × yield estimate. It does not model your exact location, roof tilt, shading, inverter losses or panel choice, and the default figures are typical starters, not a performance guarantee. A licensed solar installer sizes and certifies the system, and the grid connection / net-metering is arranged with your DISCOM.
