Brooklyn Solar Canopy Co.
Designed in Brooklyn, New York by a team of architects and seasoned solar profession- als, the Brooklyn Solar Canopy is suitable for backyard pergolas, carports, and rooftop applications. The canopy’s core modularity and minimal aesthetic make it versatile and adaptable for different contexts. Available in any color, the canopy can be modi ed
to integrate with a range of aesthetic and functional enhancements to integrate a variety of architectural styles. Built to withstand heavy snow, wind, and seismic forces, the UL certi ed canopy is a creative solar solution for every market. www.brooklynsolarcanopy.com
Kinetic Solar
Kinetic Solar’s new seasonally adjust-
able ground mount brings versatility and strength while being economical and fast to install. Each module section is balanced in order to make seasonal adjustments with 60- or 72-cell modules simple and easy, no heavy lifting required. Seasonal adjustment can offer a yearly increase of in production of up to 14%, without the added cost of a tracking system. Standard tilt angles include 20°, 45°, and 60°. It is engineered to withstand 1kPa of wind and 2.5kPa of snow, making it suitable for use in nearly any location in North America. It’s innovative design tilts at for fast and easy construction. Available with optional string inverter mount, micro inverter mount, and rear cable shielding panels. The structures sturdy steel construction and hot dip galva- nized coating stands up to even the most hostile environmental conditions. www.kineticsolar.com

Quest Renewables
The newest addition to Quest Renewables solar canopy portfolio is the QuadPod double canti- lever. With just 3 foundations per 100kW, the double cantilever can easily be applied to any parking lot con guration regardless of parking spot width or drive aisle dimensions. After its on-the-ground assembly, solar panel placement, electrical inverter mounting, and wiring, the canopy units are erected and connected to foundations. This construction method signi - cantly minimizes work at height and optimizes worksite safety. The short on-site time with QuadPod double cantilever reduces construction management costs, increases throughput, and limits disruption to parking lot operations. www.questrenewables.com
S:FLEX, Inc.
S:FLEX PV Carports are designed to maximize solar production and can be engineered
to meet all space requirements. Typically columns are spaced at 27' on center and a range of standardized designs for fast and cost-effective solutions is available. S:Flex systems are designed for solar module attachments with grounding, and for any wind, snow, and seismic region. The founda- tions are completed prior to steel delivery on-site, and pre-assembly options reduce time on-site and working at height. Complete engineering services are also available. www.s ex.com
SCARLET Solar
SCARLET Solar, a Silicon-Valley-based designer of advanced solar systems, revealed TiltPort, a high-ef ciency modular, tilting
roof carport. TiltPort has two white columns which support a slender roof that tracks the sun. TiltPort cuts complexity and increases reliability and power output by tilting the whole roof. Rated for winds up to 130mph (210km/h) TiltPort comes prefabricated for installation in hours. TiltPort is controlled remotely and offers a waterproof option. Any number of TiltPorts can be installed adjacent to each other. TiltPort generates up to 44% more energy than traditional xed carports using similar panels, and can cost less. www.scarlet.red
