Introducing the Couillard Solar Foundation Solar Canopy
This is a sleek, elegant design using bifacial solar technology – a combination that makes solar captivating.
This flexible design allows you to create a functional array in whatever size fits your location and your production needs. Our pricing is competitive and appeals to people and organizations that want to take advantage of renewable energy without sacrificing the look of their home or business.
As an additional benefit, all net proceeds from the sale of our solar canopies, are dedicated to funding the Solar for Good and Solar on Schools grant programs, providing solar panels and educational resources to Wisconsin nonprofits, to help them gain access to solar.
Canopy design is made of up ladders that fit together to form the full canopy. All ladders are designed to fit specific bifacial solar panels, included in the cost of the canopy.
