Solar Car Ports & Canopies

• One of the biggest concerns about adding solar to a home is mounting it to the roof. Solar car ports are a great way to have a stand-alone system that can be run and tied to the main sub panel. They can be metered for for energy production without needing to penetrate the roof or remove and reinstall when a new roof is needed!  
• As with the solar car port, solar awnings/pergolas are a great way to avoid roof attachment concerns for a residential installation. Solar awnings require 8' embedded concrete footers and also require structural engineering for attachment to the existing building for wind lift. Our design team and engineers can cover all of this. 
•  The major difference between our carport and our outdoor living spaces is that the Carports use 10ft and 12ft Columns and our living spaces use 8ft and 10ft columns. The Carports are also designed with Ballards in front of the columns to protect them from collision. You can also select a carport configuration to use as a living space if you are wanting a taller structure. 

• One great solar solution for your lani, patio or porch is enjoying the shade of a pergola while soaking in the sun to offset your electric bill! These dual-purpose structures are great for homeowners that don’t want to install solar panels on their roof or who don’t have enough space on their property for a ground mount solar system. With there being so much Sun in The Sunshine State, a solar panel pergola is the perfect way to both shade your patio and produce power to offset your electricity usage.
• While many homeowners may try to install a DIY solar pergola or patio cover, it's best to let a real solar panel installation company do the install. Even if you are an experienced DIY'er or electrician, there are many things that can go wrong in a solar installation, especially on a fragile structure like a pergola. That's why we encourage any homeowner looking to install a solar panel pergola to contact us.

Infinity structural beam creates the rafter that holds solar modules when combined with the top cap and wire trough . Bonding jumpers bond the modules to the framing system using the bonding rail. Optimizers can be mounted to the bonding rail using the same brackets used for module frame mounting. Wire management clips can be clipped onto the bonding rail to keep wires hidden and organized. Our structural beam can span over 14 feet, needing only two points of attachment.  

 EPDM gaskets slide into slots on the top cap to make a watertight seal against the solar modules. he Top Cap is then secured to the threaded channel in the beam using 5/16 stainless hex bolts creating a very strong connection that secures modules in high winds. 

The frame beams are a two part structural beam system that has two large chase ways . One for AC wiring and the other for your DC home runs. All of your wiring can be concealed within the headers and posts assembled using these frame beams resulting in no exposed conduit. Our 8”x 5 ¼” assembled beam can span up 18 feet while supporting our beams which mean fewer Columns to give you more open space. 

 Used to mount the Frame Beam corner columns to the Framebeam header.  

Unique post bases are open to bring 2 x 1” conduits into the bottom of the frame beam columns to bring DC wiring from the array to the inverter. This brings AC power to the structure for lighting, fans, and outlets. The ¾ bolt slots allow for adjustability to ensure that the columns line up and are level.  

 Customize your Structure! Our integrated dotless LED light strips fit perfectly in the T-Bolt slots of the Frame Beam and beam to bring accent lighting to the Structure. Lighting can be standard warm or cool white to light or a variety of colors and pattern combinations to make the space come alive at night!
