The Solar Canopy
Made of sustainably harvested timber, the Solar Canopy can go over your driveway, patio, or woodpile, and can even support an EV charger. Dual-sided panels make it our most productive solar system per square foot.

Janis,New YorkSunCommon installed a beautiful solar panel system on our house in Rhinebeck NY. The whole process from start to finish was so quick and easy because their staff was amazing! Everyone was friendly and super helpful and handled every step so professionally.
Elaine,VermontThis was technically our 2nd project with SunCommon. We installed solar panels several years ago and just added Tesla powerwalls to our system. From beginning to end the step by step communication was incredible. The on-site folks were professional, yet friendly. Always COVID safe. Highly recommended.
Tara,VermontWelcoming SunCommon sends the message that this community is proactive in how we think about our energy production and use. When I see solar panels I see progress. We need to be responsible in understanding where our power comes from. While our convenience culture has led to an increased demand on energy, we can now turn to a new, affordable and convenient solution: solar power.
RJ,VermontWe couldn’t put a traditional ground-mounted solar array in our backyard because it would have taken up valuable yard space. When we saw the design of the Solar Canopy and how beautiful it looked – not to mention its functionality – we were sold. Our Solar Canopy will produce more than enough electricity for our home and electric vehicle while serving as our covered patio.
Mary,VermontThis was our second experience with the amazing Sun Common team. We added more solar panels, a Tesla PowerWall and an EV charger. SunCommon… always professional, courteous, knowledgeable and thorough!
Gary,VermontI have always had an interest in doing the right thing for my community by using renewable energy. SunCommon made it easy to go solar. I had an absolutely delightful experience working with them and haven’t had an electric bill since my panels were installed in December of 2014. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.
Kyle,VermontSunCommon does their best to lower the barrier of entry to solar, and that’s what sold us. We’re both pretty low income, so being able to have solar panels feels like a real luxury. I’ve got a power plant in my yard now – I’m a power plant… That’s cool! It’s noiseless, it’s emission-less, and the amount of money it’s going to save is just mind-boggling.
