Island Carport PV EV Charging Station Project Case

Case 2022-06-14

Project Overview

This island-based photovoltaic carport charging station integrates solar power generation, energy storage, and new energy vehicle charging, specially customized for offshore islands, coastal scenic parking lots, resort service areas, and island community supporting facilities.
Located on a coastal tourist island with limited grid power supply, the local power grid capacity is insufficient, and diesel power generation has high operation costs and serious carbon emissions. The client adopted our Zelinco Energy all-in-one solar carport charging solution to realize self-generation & self-consumption of clean energy, cut electricity expenditure, and provide stable fast-charging service for tourist vehicles, new energy sightseeing buses, and private EVs.

Core Pain Points of Island Scenarios

  1. Weak island power grid: Insufficient power capacity, high peak electricity price, difficult power expansion and transformation;
  2. High energy cost: Traditional diesel power generation consumes massive fuel with loud noise and heavy pollution;
  3. Tourism operation demand: Large parking flow in peak seasons, tourists have strong demand for EV fast charging;
  4. Coastal harsh environment: High humidity, salt fog, strong typhoon risk, ordinary steel structures and electrical equipment are prone to corrosion and failure;
  5. Low-carbon tourism positioning: The island scenic area needs zero-carbon supporting facilities to meet green tourism certification and marketing highlights.

Zelinco Energy Customized Solution

1. Galvanized Anti-Corrosion PV Carport Structure

  • Full hot-dip galvanized steel bracket, anti-salt spray & anti-typhoon design, pass coastal salt fog corrosion test, adapt to island humid marine climate;
  • Double function: Shelter & power generation. The top monocrystalline solar panels can block rain, sun and sea wind for parked vehicles;
  • Modular assembly structure, fast on-site installation, no complicated civil engineering, suitable for island limited construction conditions.

2. Zelinco Energy Grid-Tied Solar Inverter System

Replace traditional single-function inverters with our Zelinco Energy high-efficiency PV inverters (as shown in project site equipment), with core advantages for islands:

  • Wide DC voltage range, stable power output under weak light on cloudy island days;
  • Built-in anti-corrosion circuit protection, IP65 outdoor waterproof cabinet, resist coastal humidity and salt mist erosion;
  • Intelligent MPPT tracking, maximize solar energy capture;
  • Remote cloud monitoring, operators can check power generation, charging load and equipment status via mobile phone/PC backend anytime.

3.EV DC Fast Charging Pile Matching

Match 60kW/120kW DC fast chargers for tourist private cars, sightseeing new energy vehicles:

  • Solar power priority for charging; excess power feeds back to island public grid to earn feed-in tariff;
  • Intelligent load distribution system: Automatically adjust charging power according to real-time PV output, avoid grid overload on islands.

4. Optional Energy Storage Expansion Module

For islands with extremely unstable grid power, add lithium energy storage battery pack:

  • Store excess daytime solar energy for night charging;
  • Work as backup power supply when island grid power fails, ensure continuous charging service for tourist vehicles.

On-Site Project Implementation Details

  1. Construction Period Advantage
    Modular prefabricated carport components are processed in factory, shipped to the island by container, only simple bolt assembly on site, greatly shorten construction cycle, reduce cross-sea transportation and labor cost.
  2. Safety Configuration for Coastal Environment
  3. Full set of safety warning signs: Electric shock prevention, high-voltage hazard warning stickers on inverter cabinets;
  4. Lightning protection and grounding system specially reinforced for island thunderstorm weather;
  5. All wiring adopts marine-grade waterproof and corrosion-resistant cables, with sealed wire protection tubes to prevent salt fog infiltration.
  6. Operation & Management System
    Support multi-scene charging management: Scenic area tourist charging, staff dedicated parking charging, temporary vehicle charging;
    Built-in billing system, support credit card, overseas mobile payment, automatic settlement; unified cloud platform to view daily power generation, charging volume, revenue data.

Project Benefits & Return on Investment

Economic Benefits

  1. Self-generated solar power replaces high-price commercial electricity and expensive diesel power, save 70%+ of daily power cost for the parking lot;
  2. Surplus photovoltaic power connected to the island grid to get continuous grid feed-in income;
  3. Charging service brings new profit point for scenic operation, increase tourist consumption stickiness.

Environmental & Brand Benefits

  1. Zero-carbon clean energy operation, cut carbon emissions for the island resort, meet international green travel certification standards;
  2. Solar carport becomes unique landscape of the island parking lot, improve scenic area high-end green image, attract eco-tourism groups;
  3. Eliminate noise and pollution of diesel generators, optimize island living and sightseeing environment.

Long-Term Operation Value

  • Anti-corrosion carport and Zelinco Energy inverters have 10–15 years service life, low later maintenance cost;
  • Expandable design: Later add more charging piles or energy storage batteries without overall reconstruction, adapt to the growing number of EV tourists year by year.
