Ships 2027.
Charge a Car. Or a Tractor. Or Your House.
Wherever you park, work, or relax, the Solar Carport turns open space into usable power.
EV Charging
Generate solar energy by day and use it to offset or directly support vehicle charging.
Home Energy
Send solar straight into the house and cut what you pull off the grid every month.
Electric Tractor
A natural fit for the GoSun Moonrider and other compact electric farm equipment.
Shaded Hangout
Create a shaded hangout area that also produces clean power all day long.
Farm Power Station
Power tools, batteries, utility vehicles, pumps, coolers, and fencing systems.
Off-Grid Pavilion
Bring solar electricity to cabins, camps, events, and remote properties.
Solar by Day. Power on Demand.
With 4 kW of solar overhead, the canopy captures sunshine all day, even when the driveway is empty. What happens to that energy is up to the setup you pick.
Collect Sunshine
Panels overhead harvest sunshine from morning to evening, whether anything is parked under it or not.
Put it to Work
Power flows straight to your vehicle, your tools, or your house. Whatever you do not use can go back to the grid.
Store for Later
Add a battery and the energy waits for you. Charge after dark, run the essentials, or ride out an outage.
Pick Your Power Setup
Start with the solar structure, then choose how you want to use the energy. Every configuration is built around the same 4 kW canopy.

Anchors Without Excavation
The GoSun Solar Carport is designed to install without the typical mess of digging holes, pouring concrete footers, or bringing in heavy equipment. The structure uses engineered base plates and surface appropriate anchors, so it goes up on a variety of common outdoor surfaces.
Depending on the site, anchoring methods may include concrete anchors, epoxy set anchors, asphalt anchors, ground screws, earth anchors, or other approved fastening systems. The result is a faster, cleaner installation that can be done with basic tools without turning your driveway, yard, farm, or parking area into a construction zone.
*Local soil conditions, wind loads, surface quality, and code requirements may vary. Final anchoring method should be selected based on the installation site and applicable engineering guidance.
4 kW of Solar, Working All Day
Even when your vehicle is away, the canopy keeps harvesting energy. Here's roughly what a 4 kW array produces across a day.
Actual output depends on location, season, shading, panel orientation, weather, inverter selection, and installation quality.
It Earns Its Keep
The Solar Carport creates value every day.
Ready for Wind, Rain, Snow, and Sun
One of the first things people ask is how it holds up outside. The Solar Carport is engineered to live outdoors year round.
Built to stand firm through the severe storms and straight line winds that roll across the Midwest and most of the country.
Above the standard residential snow load across most of the Midwest. That is roughly a foot and a half of heavy wet snow, or several feet of light powder overhead.
All Weather Steel
A powder coated steel structure built to resist rust, sun, and the seasons.
10° Sloped Roof
The pitched canopy sheds rain and snow instead of letting it pool overhead.
Anchored Base, No Footers
Base plates hold it firmly to asphalt, concrete, gravel, or dirt.
Engineered ratings. Final wind and snow values depend on configuration and site.
Store Sunshine.
Charge After Dark.
Pair the canopy with battery storage to collect solar all day and power your vehicle, tools, or essentials when the sun goes down.

Technical Specifications
Common Questions
Do I need a building permit?
At about 195 sq ft, the structure stays below the common 200 sq ft threshold many jurisdictions use for small accessory structures. Local rules vary, so confirm your site-specific requirements before installing.
What surface can I install it on?
Asphalt, concrete, gravel, or dirt. It anchors with pre-engineered base plates matched to your site conditions, so no digging is required in many applications.
Can I charge my vehicle after the sun goes down?
Yes, with the Battery + Inverter configuration. The canopy stores solar energy during the day in a 16 kWh battery, so you can charge your vehicle, tools, or essentials at night.
How long does assembly take?
It's designed to be assembled by two people in one day using basic hand tools. No heavy equipment or special tools needed.
What can I power with it?
EVs, electric tractors, utility vehicles, e-bikes, tools, and home energy use. A 4 kW array can produce roughly 25 to 75 miles of driving energy on a sunny day.
Does my car have to be parked all day to benefit?
No. The canopy harvests energy whenever the sun is shining, then offsets the power you use to charge later, whether you're grid-tied or storing it in a battery.
