Hello everyone,

I have a carport located in a very inconvenient spot for electrical installation. Nevertheless, I would like to have a 220V (220V) outlet to maintain the battery charge of my motorcycle (12V) and, at the same time, it would be great to install an LED lamp so I can have some light during the darker winter months.

My idea is to use a solar system, but I have no knowledge of solar technology, so I’m relying on advice! I only know that a friend of mine has a solar system on his garden shed, and with it, he powers a refrigerator and a TV.

Regards,

My husband also had the fixed idea to install a solar system on the roof of our carport. However, the initial investment is simply too high. The sun doesn’t always shine here either, so in my opinion, the energy gain is minimal.

That is certainly true, but I still think a solar system is a very good option. However, it is important to compare providers here, as prices do vary quite a bit. Some time ago, I requested a quote. The price was 500 CHF per square meter (10.76 sq ft). Now I am considering whether to install one myself.

I am not looking to make a big profit from this at all.
