Solar canopies turn flat city rooftops into multi-use home power plants
Flat roofs are traditionally sites for sprawling, low-built solar arrays meant to maximize energy output within the building’s footprint. However, some flat roofs may be better suited to smaller solar canopies that act as elevated shade structures on shared rooftops. Rooftop canopies come with a whole different set of structural requirements to attach to buildings…
