Solar Market Outlook in Taiwan
The Taiwanese solar energy sector is one of the rapidly growing industries in Asia. In 2021, it is targeting to achieve a growth of 1.5 to 1.7 GW of solar capacity. In order to meet this target growth rate, the Taiwanese government is accelerating its development efforts for the coming year.Â
The government of Taiwan is currently promoting its PV policy while also building construction timelines for ground-mounted projects. There are two areas that the Taiwanese solar PV market is focusing on: fishery-solar hybrid power stations and major electricity consumers. If plans push through, Taiwan is looking at a solar market future with a green energy certification scheme and feed-in tariff scheme in place.Â
The government of Taiwan took serious steps toward the start of its switch to solar and wind power at the start of 2020. However, it is still a long way to go before it can mitigate any losses incurred from the shutdown of coal plants. With the renewed focus on solar energy, the government expects that reliance on coal for energy production will drop from 44% to 37% in 2030. The economic leaders in Taiwan have previously set the target of 20 GW in solar energy production by 2025, although solar project managers are doubtful that they can hit this target.Â
Solar Energy Equipment Supply Capacity in Taiwan
Taiwan currently has a shortage of local solar equipment suppliers and manufacturers. However, there are several global suppliers and distributors to increase its solar installation capacity.Â

Solar Carport Racking
Photovoltaic carport, one of the most simple and easy ways to combine photovoltaics and architecture, has become more and more popular in recent years in urban settings.
Solar carport has good heat absorption, convenient installation and low cost. It not only makes full use of the scarce land, but also provides green energy. The construction of photovoltaic carports in factory parks, commercial areas, hospitals, schools, etc. can solve the problem of high vehicle temperature in summer in open-air parking lots
Why Choose Solar Carport Mounting?
Solar Carport Mounting or also referred as solar canopy is basically designed for parking lots either for residential or commercial properties. Its installation process is almost the same with a ground-mounting system. The only difference is solar carport is built in a higher/taller structure to accommodate all types of vehicles.They are also convenient to install as they do not require large space or any roof attachments. It does not provide shade to vehicles but also generates electricity from a clean energy source.
Kinds of Solar Carport Mounting System
It has several types that you can choose from according to your needs. Some are designed with simple aluminum or steel structures while others have waterproof features. Some solar carport system providers also offer custom-made mounting system to support the number of solar panels needed and other requirement.
