SOLAR CARPORTS

Commercial solar carports do more than create shade and shelter vehicles from the sun and rain — they generate valuable electricity for your business and increase the value of your real estate while providing a sustainable source of electricity and revenue that you can use to grow your business, reduce your carbon footprint, and lower your company’s utility bills.

What Is A Commercial Solar Carport, And How Does It Work?

A commercial solar carport is designed to provide shade and protection for vehicles while incorporating solar panels to generate electricity.  It typically consists of a durable framework that supports solar panels on top, allowing them to produce solar energy.  The electricity generated can power nearby facilities, offsetting energy costs.

What Makes Solar Carports A Valuable Investment?

Solar carports make it easy to take advantage of unused potential in your parking area. In addition to protecting the vehicles of your employees, customers, and tenants, they’re a valuable source of revenue that will generate clean, green energy year after year.

Most importantly, designs like single-pillar carports have a small footprint, which means you can maximize the number of parking spaces and energy production on your property. As the need for renewable energy increases and the desire for cleaner skies skyrockets, solar carports in your parking lot will become an asset that will make your property stand out.
