Frequently asked questions

Our own installation teams bring accountability from preconstruction through installation. We combine structural experience, quality assurance and an emphasis on safety to support your project.

We design and install solar and non-solar carports, parking garage canopies, RV and boat storage structures, DSA structures and custom solutions. Our team also supports repairs and can discuss ground-mount applications.

We evaluate access, existing uses, environmental conditions and your project goals to develop a site-specific approach. Early conversations help identify constraints before installation.

We serve projects throughout the United States, supported by our West Coast and East Coast offices. Contact us with your location and scope.

Pre-planning, training, job-site audits and company-wide accountability help our teams manage risk and coordinate work on active sites.

Solar carports create a place for solar panels while retaining the parking or activity space underneath. The appropriate structure depends on available land, roof conditions, access and the intended use of your site.

Coordinating the structure, engineering requirements and installation approach helps align the design with site constraints, budget and schedule.

Material selection depends on the design, spans and site conditions, including wind, snow and seismic requirements. The project engineering team determines the appropriate solution.

Foundation design depends on structural loads and site-specific soil conditions. A geotechnical report helps the engineering team establish suitable foundation requirements.

DSA requirements apply to certain California public projects. Our team can coordinate with your design professionals to determine whether a DSA solution is appropriate and discuss available Pre-Check structures.

Our focus is site-specific structure design and installation rather than do-it-yourself carport kits.

Our focus is commercial, industrial, multifamily and public projects rather than single-family residential solar installations.

The engineering team evaluates the project location, applicable requirements and site conditions as part of the design.

Depending on the structure and project requirements, options can include decking, downspouts, integrated drainage and snow or ice guards.

Scheduling starts in preconstruction and accounts for site access, phasing, occupancy, material procurement and crew availability. We coordinate expectations and milestones with the project team.

Start with your project location, intended use, structure type and a description of your goals. Plans, approximate size and schedule are helpful when available.

Let us know your project goals and financing needs so we can discuss suitable next steps and potential financing partners. Availability depends on the project.

Early coordination of layout, materials, structure options and site requirements helps identify practical ways to align the project with your budget.

Pricing depends on the structure type, size, materials, foundations, site conditions and installation requirements. Solar and non-solar projects have different scopes, so a general price per square foot, parking space or watt cannot capture every project. Share your plans and goals with our team for a project-specific estimate.

Column locations, spans, materials, finish, appearance, soil conditions and site-specific loads can all affect cost.

Available incentives and eligibility can change. Consult your tax advisor about the rules that apply to your project.

Timing depends on the project scope and the information available. Our estimating team can confirm a realistic turnaround after reviewing your request.
