Frequently Asked Questions
Why are solar carports a strong fit for NJ auto dealerships?
Three layers of value: (1) energy savings on showroom HVAC + service equipment + lot lighting, (2) inventory protection from UV, hail, and snow that reduces fade and detailing costs, and (3) customer experience — covered test-drive arrival and pickup areas.
How does franchise corporate approval affect dealership solar timeline?
Most franchise dealerships (Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, etc.) have brand-standard architectural requirements. Corporate sign-off typically adds 6 to 10 weeks to project timeline. We coordinate with your franchise representative during feasibility.
What's the typical NJ auto dealership solar carport size?
Typical dealership carport 200 kW to 400 kW, covering 30 to 60 parking stalls. Larger dealerships with multiple lots can scale to 500 kW to 1 MW combined rooftop + multi-carport configurations.
Can dealerships add EV chargers to solar carports?
Yes — we strongly recommend pre-wiring conduit through carport columns for future EV charger expansion. Carport-integrated EV charging is increasingly required as dealerships add EV inventory (mandated by some manufacturers). Pre-wire cost is minimal; retrofitting later is expensive.
