What’s Included in Solar Carports
Structural design for NJ snow and wind loads
NJ ground snow load 20–30 psf depending on county. Design wind speed 105–115 mph. PE-stamped structural calculations. Drilled pier foundations below NJ frost line (36 inches below grade per NJ UCC).
Single-row and double-row carport configurations
18 ft span single-row over individual parking lines. 36 ft span double-row back-to-back over central parking aisles. Clear height 10–14 ft for passenger vehicles, 14+ ft for trucks.
ADA accessibility and parking layout coordination
Column placement coordinated with parking stall layout. Accessible routes from parking to building preserved. ADA-compliant accessible parking stalls maintained per NJ UCC requirements.
EV charging conduit pre-wiring
Conduit pre-wired through carport columns for future Level 2 or DC fast-charging integration. Avoids future trenching cost. Critical for ESG-driven properties planning EV charger expansion.
LED lighting integration
LED parking lot lighting integrated into carport columns. Eliminates separate lighting poles. 50,000+ hour LED lifespan reduces maintenance compared to traditional pole lights.
Franchise architecture compliance (auto dealerships)

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do solar carports cost compared to rooftop solar?
Solar carports typically cost 30–50% more per watt installed than rooftop solar due to structural steel. They add a covered-parking amenity worth $1,000–$3,000 per stall in standalone market value, partly offsetting the premium.
How tall are commercial solar carports?
Clear height under the canopy is typically 10–14 feet for passenger vehicles and 14+ feet for trucks. Column placement is coordinated with your parking lot layout to maintain ADA accessibility and traffic flow.
Can I add EV chargers to a solar carport?
Yes — we pre-wire conduit through the carport columns for future EV charger expansion. Carport-integrated EV charging is one of the highest-converting commercial property amenities for ESG-driven tenants in 2026.
How does franchise approval work for auto dealership carports?
Most franchise dealerships have brand-standard architectural requirements (color palette, sightlines, signage coordination). We coordinate with your franchise corporate representative as early as possible — typical 6 to 10 weeks for franchise approval.
