Our solar canopies are custom built to your specifications to maximize parking space and provide an additional barrier between the vehicles in your lot and the elements.

By paying your organization annual rent to host our canopies over your parking area, your business will get a portion of the financial benefits generated by our system, while we take on all costs, maintenance and responsibilities.

Additional benefits include the inclusion of electric vehicle charging stations, LED lighting, and security camera systems.

PARKING LOT CANOPY

Solar Canopies create a new covered parking amenity for visitors and staff and a visible green initiative to express your sustainability efforts. Improved lighting and the easy ability to add EV charging stations allow for a wonderful addition to any property.

Ecogy engineers and constructs the canopy systems to be custom to your property; and allows for many design configurations including the option to increase the height to 14’ to allow for tractor trailers and other large vehicles.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Who has Ecogy worked with in the past and how long have you been around?

Ecogy was founded as a developer, financier and owner-operator of distributed generation resources in 2011 with our first project for Longwood Gardens, the nation's largest botanical garden. Since then, we have found our niche specializing in financing distributed generation assets for traditionally underserved entities including affordable housing, non-profits and municipalities. Our current portfolio comprises over 35 systems across 12 states, D.C. and the U.S. Caribbean. Our most recent projects were for Ocean State Job Lot, Thermofisher Scientific, and the American Red Cross.

Am I able to host a community solar system and also subscribe to it to save on my energy bills?

Absolutely. In this case, hosts of community solar systems will receive the guaranteed lease payment in addition to energy savings on their electric bills. Moreover, Ecogy will provide a comprehensive marketing and PR campaign including drone videography and a ribbon cutting ceremony.

What happens if I decide to sell the building?

If you were to decide to sell the building at any point in the future, the lease agreement could simply be transferred and assigned over to the new owner similar to any other lease arrangement. Additionally, having this lease agreement in place actually makes your property more attractive to potential buyers as there is already an income-opportunity established through the revenue-generating system.

How does Ecogy offer no-cost solar?

Ecogy is unique in that we have internal capital to develop, finance, and own & operate these projects. Rather than sell you on a very expensive solar system, we want to pay you to host one of our own - all on our dime. We believe it's a better option for us to own and operate these systems due to our veteran team of asset/energy managers and software architects, our experience managing a portfolio of a variety of projects, and to make your life easy!

How will the system impact my pavement?

Any damage we cause we are liable for. Our foundations are in between parking rows or on the edge of the curb - allowing for minimal disturbance to the lot. Any trenching needed to complete the project will be repaved at our cost.
