Solar Canopies for Parking Lots

Maximize your parking lot's value with solar canopies.

Solar canopies transform parking lots into dual-purpose assets, providing covered parking for drivers while generating renewable energy - and revenue. Installing solar canopies with Build­-Ready is a "de-risked" process. We provide both financial and technical support for your solar projects, making it simple and easy to add revenue-generating value to your property.

Get started by nominating your parking lot as a potential Build-Ready site.
