Solar carport questions, answered

How much does a solar carport cost?

In New England, a turnkey Sunport starts at $23,350 for the frame alone and $33,550 installed with a 16-panel (6.4 kW) solar roof. Price yours out live in the configurator above!

How much power does a solar panel carport produce?

Sunport roofs hold 16 to 48 panels — 6.4 to 19.2 kW. That's enough to offset a typical American home plus EV charging. That works out to roughly $2,000–$9,000 of electricity a year, depending on utility rate.

Is there a DIY solar carport kit?

Yes. Every Sunport is available as a pre-cut kit — structural timbers, all hardware, and an engineering plan delivered to your site for your own contractor to assemble. Prefer not to lift a beam? Our crew handles the full solar carport installation: footings, frame, panels, and hookup.

Can a timber solar carport structure handle snow?

Yes, both the timber frame and solar racking are engineered for serious Northeast snow loads.

What's the difference between a solar carport and a solar canopy?

They're the same idea: a solar canopy over parking. Ours is a residential solar carport built as a real timber frame, with posts and beams milled from local timber instead of steel tubes.

What warranty comes with a solar carport?

The solar panels carry their manufacturer's 25-year warranty, and we stand behind the structure and workmanship on everything we build. Full terms come with your contract, and we'll walk you through them before you sign anything.

Where do you install solar carports?

Currently we install across Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Virginia. Pre-cut kits can travel further; ask on your consult.
