What Are Solar Carports and Canopies?
Solar energy carports and solar canopies are overhead structures built to cover any outdoor space and are covered with solar panels. These structures are ideal for businesses and homeowners and can be built to accommodate virtually any open space. Our solar canopies are most popularly used to cover parking, storage, loading, and patios areas since these outdoor spaces offer the most value by bringing shade and weather coverage. Most importantly, these solar canopies produce just as much, if not more, solar energy than a traditional solar roof system would.

Unlike a traditional roof or ground mounted system, these solar canopies have fewer space limitations and can be easily built to maximize your solar production. The beauty of these systems is that they allow us to create, from ground zero, the most optimal system for capturing the suns ray’s rather than having to work around a pre-existing space not designed specifically for solar energy production. And by removing obstacles like space limitations and sub-optimal roof angling, your customized solar canopies can work more efficiently to capture the savings you truly want.
Our Carport & Canopy Designs
Carports and canopies generate a ton of value for both your solar system and your property value. Our carport and canopy designs are engineered to fit almost any space, while our unparalleled craftsmanship ensures the systems are aesthetically pleasing.

How Do Solar Carports and Solar Canopies Work?
Our solar energy carports and solar canopies are built using only the highest grade materials and American made solar panels available. The systems consist of solar panels, an inverter (which converts sun energy into electricity), and a metering system to monitor the amount of energy made and used. Most systems are angled either 10 degrees south or west to capture the most sunlight, and with modern day photovoltaic cells and SoCal weather patterns, most canopies and carports are able to produce enough stored energy to offset energy use well past sunset. This solar energy can be used to power HVAC systems, lights, computers, and other electrical devices being used to reduce electricity bills.
+Show MoreCommercial projects often require carports or truck ports capable of shading parking or loading areas while homeowners opt for single space carports or backyard patio canopies. In either case, the systems are similar in function while the design varies according to what each customer prefers. Our expert teams are trained and skilled at constructing certified and seismically safe carports and canopies.
We buy our materials factory direct and do our own installations, leaving out the middleman to secure the best prices for the best quality solar carports and solar canopies.
Why Our Clients Love Them
We were among the first solar companies in Southern California to begin building solar carports and solar canopies and have quickly become the leader in this field. Something that set us apart from the start was our large commercial clientele. By initially focusing on building commercial sized solar carports and solar canopies we have mastered complex carport and canopies solutions.

Why Invest in Solar?
With a roof-top system or solar carports, you convert thousands, and even millions, of dollars’ of solar energy into usable power – but just how much:
On Average, Every 180 Sq. Ft. of Solar (about the size of a parking space) Provides:
- $480 per year in utility cost savings
- $3,800 in increased property value
- $2,000 in Federal Tax credits
Your solar investment allows you take immediate control, and predictability, of your long-term energy costs giving you peace of mind.
