Frequently Asked Questions
Standard pitch is 5 degrees. The solar installer can use aluminium ’tilt mounts’ on the roof to give you the optimum angle to the sun for making electricity. We can make a solar ready carport with a greater pitch but this then becomes a custom – custom job! All brackets would need to be specially made and it would involve ‘hands-on” engineering which could easily add $1500 or more to a standard 5 degree pitch.
Standard pitch of a gable roof is 10 degrees; 15 degrees or 20 degrees. While this pitch can be altered, it does involve some special engineering and all braqckets may have to be custom made. This can increase the price on a similar size “standard’ pitch by more than $1500.
Great Returns on investment – Solar is one of the best investments you can make and can pay for itself in around 3-5 years.
Get paid to export to the grid – Your retailer still pays you for the excess power you don’t use during the day.
Generous rebates still available – The Small Technology Certificates (STC’s) will be enough in most cases to pay for full installation.
Solar Carport warranties last 10 years – Systems are now extremely durable – this carport solar system has warranties of 10 years on structure and panels.
Solar prices are coming down – Solar system prices have never been cheaper. The solar carport is no more expensive than buying a similar solar system and a good quality carport – a carport that will eventually pay for itself.
Reduce exposure to future power price rises – By installing solar, you’ll reduce your reliance on the grid and the price rises sure to come.
Almost certainly not.
In our development of solar ready carports and sheds, we have discovered that most suppliers in Australia have sold you a structure that is not up to Australian standards. To weaken this further by putting a load on the roof could prove to be a disaster and it is doubtful you would find a solar installer who would even consider putting panels on your existing structure. Professional Choice is made to withstand a load of 20kg per square metre, sufficiently strong to take solar panels on the roof and stronger than some existing house roofs.

Probably the biggest advantage is in cost. A solar ready carport is no more to install than a ‘standard’ carport. A double bay (6m x 6m) would be around $4000. A solar panel installation of around 6.3kw could be as little as $3500. This gives you a double bay solar carport for around $7500 but a solar double bay would be around $14,000.
The other huge advantage is that you can choose exactly the dimensions you want with a solar ready; you can choose the type of panels you want and the type of inverter you want. The solar carports are “what you see is what you get’ and your choices for any changes are very limited.
Professional Choice is your local manufacturer! Freight is included in your price – as your structure will be made in your capital city or even your closest regional city, freight is not a problem.
