Maximize Solar Yield with Parasol Longspan Carports for Ground Lots

High-Coverage Solar Canopies for Efficiency, Energy Production

Parasol Longspan carports are designed to maximize solar energy production and may be customized to meet any site specifications, terrain or regional geographic needs.

Longspan canopies are larger to allow for more solar panels per foundation, making them an excellent choice to maximize system size when space is limited. With two rows of foundation supporting each canopy, longspans typically cover two rows of parking with a drive aisle in between. 

Longspan canopies also benefit from Parasol’s integrated design approach for the seamless addition of various balance of system components, enabling safe and easy installation of DC wiring through coordination with electrical engineers.
