Solar canopies and carports are typically ground or roof mounted steel structures topped with solar panels. They are a smart way to produce energy from large sun exposed surfaces while providing covered parking for drivers or shaded rest areas for people. During peak sunlight midday, your building can run off the power generated by solar canopies. They are ideal for:
-
Business plazas
-
Multi-family properties
-
Schools
-
Shopping centers
-
Gas stations
-
Boat storage facilities
-
RV storage facilities
Solar shade structures have gained popularity in the renewables market. Many now also feature electric vehicle charging stations.
Drawing from many years of carport and canopy design and installation experience, Sun Light & Power offers custom designs and turn-key solutions that look great, are easy to maintain and maximize your power generation.
Sun Light & Power has partnered with Baja Carports of Martinez, California, to offer these three standard canopies:
-
Full Cantilever Double Bolted
-
Full Cantilever T Double Bolted
-
Braced Single Post (open C post) Cantilever
Why Go Solar?
When it comes to combining solar energy with your business operation, think of solar as an investment that actually provides a return. A custom designed solar PV system or solar thermal hot water heating system will reduce your operating expenses, protect you from volatile utility costs, show your commitment to the environment and the green business movement, and can even increase the reliability of your electrical system.
