A steel structure partner for solar carports
Solar contractors and developers need a steel structure that holds the array and shades the parking. Superior Steelworx designs, fabricates and installs that structure in Texas and Louisiana, and works with your engineer and installer so the pieces arrive when the panels do.
How we approach solar contractors projects
Solar carports are different from regular carports. The panels add weight, the array catches wind like a sail, and the layout has to line up with panel dimensions, tilt and electrical runs. We design the steel structure around the panel data and loads you send, and coordinate column locations with your array and any EV charger locations.
Why it works for this buyer
We build the structure, you bring the panels
Your team supplies panels, inverters and electrical. We supply and install the steel.
Load-driven design
Send the panel spec, array layout and site loads and we engineer the frame to carry them.
Room for EV charging
Charger locations and conduit paths can be planned into the column layout.
Settle these before we bid
- Panel make, model, dimensions and weight, and the array layout and tilt.
- Parking plan with stall lines and the area to be covered.
- Site wind, soil and any engineer of record requirements.
- EV charger locations and conduit paths.
- Interconnection and construction schedule.
